KA50,
You insult W's IQ. But I ask you, do you have a degree from Yale and a MBA from Harvard?
Other,
Seems many trolling on this post. All who serve in the military have made some form of sacrifice. It is all about patriotism, adventure, and service to the nation.
Not all Marines are warriors, and not all Air Force guys are non-warriors.
I have known may Marines that are as wimpy as can be. E ven though all of the suppport Marines are the first to pipe in that they are "infantrymen first", many Marine Infantry and Recon would disagree. All Marines do have an important job. And without compat support the mission would not get done. I just replying to thread that stated Marines are for warriors and the Army Infantry is only for those who could not do anything else.
There are good and bad marines, there are good and bad soldiers, good and bad sailors, etc... Each has there own groups of true warriors.
When I was in Iraq, I saw many very hard charging conventional Army Infantry and National Guard Infantry that were better trained, better equipped and knew how to fight than most men I have served with.
As for the comments about the Air Force. I know many who are proud they served in the Air Force. I had some TACPs assigned to my team in the sandbox. Hard troops. ALso had several times where a air force pilot behind a A-10 showed our team the righteous path! Air Force PJs and TACPs are some of the best ground pounders you will meet.
All the branches are good and all mesh together.
Read my post on Adivice for a Marine on the other thread about some good advice going in.
If you would like to get some very detailed info about going Army Airborne, Ranger or SF, you are more than welcome to PM me or email me at:
[email protected] as I am a SF vet and would be more than happy to give you info. God Bless you for thinking of making the sacrifice to join.
