"Marines" are a service branch; the meaning itself is wrong as the name of a legion. A legion should be the XXth Whatever Legion. Combine this with the fact this body becomes the "Imperial Marines," and the conclusion is obvious.
Stop with the overblowing reaction. He said that there is a Legion called the Galactic Marines. Which is PERFECTLY alright, because he didn't say that meant the entire Clone Army wasn't the Galactic Marines.
As for Grand Army of the Republic, Shatterpoint made the thrust that the Clone Army was the Grand Army of the Republic, however, additional non-clone units were being trained and would be similarly inducted into that army. Such as how Windu inducted a native into the Grand Army.
