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

No ! It's a badge of honor in the Corps.

Just don't call them "Soldier"!

If u are in the military and u get offended then u sont belong in the military I dont find it offensive at all I find it even funnier when civilians say that we arenr smart enough to go to college so we join the military

I've never kwn a marine to be offended by "Jarhead." They view it as a compliment, and so do I. Have been called "Busdriver, Flyboy" and a variety of others. Never offended. All branches were/are/will be BROTHERS IN ARMS! GOd Bless America!

We who serve in the armed forces of the best country in the world are tough enough to put up with a little ribbing. If I had a dollar for every time I have been called a swab jockey, squid, etc. I would be a billionaire ❗️

Nope doesn't bug me at all and I will Always be a proud dumb ass tanker

I got a nickname for every branch of the service, my parents and I all served in different branches and we kid around often..." anchor clanker" " flyboy/ girl" " ground pounder" is often heard...I don't think any one should take offense

The common thread that bonds is regardless of service each has taken an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution at all costs to include loss of life. Each will protect the other regardless of uniform & as Army I can say Marines dress better with exception of Old Guard
And there is the difference. Marines guard embassies. Army guards the Unknown - who may just be Marine. Only God knows.

I've found it's best to just leave it alone. Some guys are OK with it, some aren't. Some guys are one-way. They can dish it out, but when you come back on them, they get angry. The thing that gets up my nose is family members that figure just because they've got a son, brother, sister or whoever in the Corps, they can unload on all the other branches. Unless you've been in too, just STFU.

If I am a veteran which I am, United States Army. I would call any marine I meet by any name that is used to describe them in respectful inter service rivalry. I once met Jack Lucas and a few other USMC Medal of honor recipient for the battle of Iwo Jima. My pastor was a very good friend of Jack Lucas and the men. I was Humbled to be in the presence of these three Metal of honor recipients. As I should Jack Lucas hand He smiles at me and says well how are you doing young Marine? I responded Marine, I was never a Marine. Jack Lucas responded not a marine then what were you? I probably with my chest out state it I was united states army! Jack Lucas grip my hand tighter and stated ARMY! Then proceeded to state army Means you Aint Really Marine Yet! As we looked at each other laughing, I gripped Jack Lucas hand tightly and stated jacked Lucas let me remind you your ID says department of the Navy! Jack Lucas laughed aloud pulled me in and gave me a big bear hug and stated I like you were going to make you an honorary marine tonight. I spent the rest of them afternoon in the glory of those men. I was honored and knighted As Jack had said an honorary marine. That was over 20 years ago in Wichita falls Texas at the holiday inn, every year in February they still have the Iwo Jima veterans reunion they are very few now if any. I think God for the opportunity to listed in the presence of The metal of honor recipients that we will Jima, Paul tidbits and they’re surviving crew of the Enola Gay, the survivors of the USS Indianapolis, and the first female loss of the United States. Not everyone can see they have that opportunity. So when I meet a marine I respect fully informed him that I have an I can talk shit to the corps card and all the pictures to back it up.
