Do you consider the term jarhead and other names for the different branches of service offensive?

I'm a proud squid... That's just how I feel..

Crayon jokes are always the best when my Marine friends are stressing about something. One think I learned when in the army was that if someone didn't like you, they wouldn't be giving you wise remarks.

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!!

I worked with an Airforce veteran. We worked together for several years and I considered her a friend. As an Army veteran I gave her crap about the para-military. She later filed harassment charges. I was stunned.

It’s all in fun however you can sense when someone is going overboard.

It's all done in the name of fun. Unless you never served. I used to hang out with a salty old retired Gunny from the Marines. I'm Army Reserve, and man would we go rounds. Lol. Looking back at it, we were like family. He was like my 2nd dad. He helped me when times were rough for me. That's something you never see in the civilian world. I was a complete stranger oblivious to his background, but he treated me like family from day one. So to me, non military folk can't hang with us because, face it, we are the 1%. Lol.

Coming from a brother or sister that have walked the walk, no. From Joe the rag man that never did sign up, yeah. I'm not gonna correct them or chase them down but if you haven't served then you have not earned the right. Only exception is immediate family of a service members and even then it should be someone they know in my opinion.

Get over it. It’s a common service rivalry thing, and anyone who takes offense is way too sensitive. Air Force are Chairborn rangers, and Navy are squids or wave humpers, Coast Guard are Navy baby brothers, Army are dog faces, etc... don’t be so thin skinned, only a real douchebag denigrates someone else willing to serve and sacrifice for their country

No

To me it's all good clean fun. We are all brothers in arms fighting for the same side. Sometimes side by side.
