"A branch of a country's navy which fights on land."
- I believe that historically many ships carried marines to defend the ship itself from pirates, etc., rather than to fight on land per se. Can anyone clarify?
- You're right, and I removed the "fights on land" phrase. --the Epopt
im askin bout Italic text
"Originated from the fact that it was an act of war for a country to send its army into another country but not to send its navy."
- Given that the phrase "act of war" is meaningless rhetorical noise -- there is no list of such things -- I doubt that this assertion is true. Can anyone provide a citation? --the Epopt

I think this layout is fine. It's handy to know the different uses of the word "Marine". But, yes, you're right - shouldn't this link to a proper page on "Marine"? Call it something else, because it's like typing in "Piano" and getting a list of Italian and French and Dutch words that "Piano" means in their languages. If you know what I mean. 86.135.177.146
