I get paid to hold a spear.

This may be one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time.
I'm an Air Force veteran. I served during Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield as an A.W.A.C.S. Crew Chief.
If you don't know what that is, I suggest you look it up since it's the backbone of staging wars by air.

ALL branches of the military are necessary and ALL branches of the military train together, fight together, and are ready to die together to save the soldier next to them, regardless of what uniform they wear.

We, as a country would not be able to invade and concur across the world without air superiority (Air Force).
We would not be able to defend and attack coastal regions without sea superiority (Navy-Coast Guard).
We would not be able to hold the territories we capture without land superiority (Army-Marines).

Instead of regurgitating bad information from the mid 1900's when Army Air split from the Army and became the Air Force, and Naval ground forces split from the Navy and became the Marines, by saying any branch of military is "the laughing stock"; this is just stupid.
The USA is the military power-house it is today because every branch does its job and does its job very well. We all need each other to succeed and the respect for the soldiers should be automatic.

Thank you OfftuneRZ for serving your country. We all appreciate it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
