Marines are the first line of defense on earth now, why would it be any different in Space?

Well, marines started as soldiers who were on ships and fought either from warships or were dropped off. In most movies with space, the whole "space fighting" program is usually a navy or navy typer program. Therefore, the marine aboard these ships would be marines.

Would you expect untrained civilians to be able to take on elite aliens??? No, I didnt think so.

Marines are the military’s offensive and occupational troops. Army is for defending crap in general.

In Space movies and games the areas of combat are often newly acquired, hence the presence of marines.

The Marines weren't always the first line of defense if you are going to state them as one, atleast acknowledge the fact the Army in WW I & II was they "first line of defense" cos in WW II the Marines proved themselves and therefore took the role, but still credit still goes out to the Army first... because in essense they are the real FIRST line of def.

If I remember correctly, in Half life you're a scientist, not a marine, or a mix...
