The infantry makes up less than 10% of US Army forces.
There are at least 20 other branches of the United States Army. Unless quite a few of them make up a very small percentage of the Army, we are left with infantry making up the greatest percentage. Furthermore, it is 15%, not less than 10.

The very first infantry unit in the United States was army. The very first fighting force we had was army. General George Washington was an army soldier. All of the stryker units you saw deployed in Iraq were army. Personally, I think every branch has its own merits, and I have nothing against Marines as a fighting force. I just think their attitude sucks. In my experience, Marines have a tendency to be brainwashed elitist knuckle draggers. I don't mean that as a blanket statement, as there are exceptions. However, I have never met an Army soldier as ball-grabbing and condescending as a Marine. It really isn't just my experience. They have different expectations as far as attitude.
