Suggestion #1 (+1) - I agree to this, Army has been suffering numbers lately and Marines have been exploding in population. Marines in real life are suppose to be harder to get into then Army, and seeing the numbers on Marines, it just doesn't resemble what they are supposed to be.
Suggestion #2 (0) - I sort of agree to, I'd rather have it be a neutral option instead, where the person can pick which side they want to go to, like they did in the past.
