Do you feel there is still an "inner service rivalry" between the Service Branches or that any one branch thinks they are Superior?
RP Members what do you think - be honest and professional in your responses please! Thank you
With all the deployments and joint operations that we have been involved in over the last 15 plus years of war and prior to that as well, aren't we all part of something a little bigger than our own service branches? We represent the United States of America in so many ways! We represent the freedom that all of the American citizens enjoy, to include ourselves!
For myself, I think is great to that we have the Navy/Army/Air Force rivalry on the football field and other sports, but I think it is important to realize the importance of joint operations and synchronization among the service branches.
I don't think that anyone branch is better than the other. That is my personal feeling.
They all have their specific missions, training philosophies, challenges, and characteristics that make them unique and special, but does that make them inferior or superior to the other service branches?
I'm sorry if I didn't tag some of the specific service branches!

There's absolutely a rivalry, but I don't think it goes past anything than a point of jostling between service members. Its all in friendly competition - at the end of the day, we're all on the same team.

We, as a group, firm the largest brotherhood in the world!! It’s one thing to “talk the talk” with all our brothers and sisters, but when all is said an done,we all “walked the walk” for each other and always will.

Every branch considers itself superior to the others. Engineers motto "Essaons" - Let us try etc. Can see advantages of all branches being incorporated into one joint operations military. Was a time one branch couldn't speak to another via radios etc.

It's important that each branch has its Esprit de Corps to build up confidence and pride to exert even more.
Pride is a word often heard in our sermons and class discussions at church. So I ask, how can a paratrooper defuse the word pride in belonging to the 82nd or a Marine in the 2nd MARCOR and remain humble in spiritual and temporal matters? There have to be two different lines to parallel the other. I've learned through the years that we may be humble, yet feel the pride and belonging to certain groups and affiliations and therein contributing to our chosen branch efforts.
The bottom line is that all branches of the military make sacrifices and contributions to the good of America.
