Some countries do not differentiate branches of their armed forces, as [Israeli Defense Force]?, [Canadian Armed Forces]?.

an American would maintain that these forces are unifed -certainly in a way the US forces are not. (I beleive Canadian forces all have the same insigna) In the US army, navy air force marines are all completely separate (with only the Joints Chiefs as a unifing body). For instance each force maintains it own fleet of aircraft, most have their own boats.

So the juncture is higher; so what? There are all kinds of patterns possible, but the basic division is the same. Only if the branches are truly mixed (like within the US Marines), this would matter.

I say let "This is often one of the three main divisions ..." in, take "Some countries do not differentiate ..." out. The general pattern is described best this way. --Yooden
