It's the future, where it seems the military branches expanded their duties.
Just as the U.S. Army had its "air force" years ago (before it branched off into its own military branch), it appears in this show that the Marines have their own "air force". They'd still be trained in ground operations as well as their piloting skills.
Heck... even the U.S. Navy of today has its "air force", as well as the Marines still technically falling under them.
At anyrate, I *finally* got my DVD's today. Been a LONG time since I watched this show.
I'll post a review of the DVDs later in another thread, then kick off the ep reviews.
