    Because they used to wear leather collars as part of their uniforms.

    Edit: thought that I'd better edit this.
    Leather collars on their uniforms, not wearing leather collars like dogs, or B/D fetish types.

    The important things are:

    Everything having to do with military training and structure originated in the U.K./Europe.

    All their forces are ROYAL, too.

    Big difference, there.

    I have a question:

    Which of our European benefactors possessed marines first?

    Britain created marine forces under Admiralty control in 1755, 50 companies in 3 divisions at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth.
    Before that time, marines were under army control, and were not continuously maintained. The earliest official British marine regiment I have found is Sir William Killigrew's Regiment of Foot in 1662.
