Does one US military branch think it's superior?

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!

I'm a little older than maybe most of you, but on Friday morning at Bob Evans rest. all of us former veterans get together for mutual harassment and respect. There is a love we share that it makes eating together a great start for your week. Men and Women from WWII, Korea,and Vietnam and conflicts of today sharing their adventures they had as youngster during wartime, but remembering those who did not come home. WE still sing " God bless America" and pledge our allegiance to the FLAG for which we served for and still SERVE for today.

As a Marine vet I will always see us as the best, but like in all families we poke and jab at each other knowing that all that have the US in our title are our brothers and Sisters. There is and will always be respect for the roles each master and is the reason our Armed Forces is the best. I would lay my life down for any of you as I would my Brothers and Sisters in the Corps!

If you don’t feel your military branch is superior to the others you have been cheated by your instructors and superiors. If you don’t feel esprit de Corps, get out.

Col. Burroughs, are you a Col. of the Coast Guard? I belong to the most audacious brotherhood of Marines. I don't need any other. If you sent me on a mission and lined up one person from each branch and said I could pick one to go with me, I would pick the Marine. If there was not a Marine I would go it alone. The few the proud the Marines. Enough said.

Thanks Sgt Michael Sargent Sam Samardzija As you can see by my profile I'm a Colonel in the Army, but I got the dig. Thanks!

YES. EVERY one of them. And now that you think about it, you wouldn't want it any other way...

The simply answer is yes. It part of the training ingrained into each person who choices a branch of service. In peace time, it's more a political thing because each branch is working to get the biggest part of the pie from Congress. At the working level, in joint operations, there is Competition, but at completing their part of the mission with few if any FUBRs. On deployments, it a whole different thing. You do you job to the best of your ability no matter what branch. In the end, in my opinion, Yes, one does thinks they are better. Every one of them. And that's a good thing.

Because of my family has at least 1 member of every Branch of Service I have said this.

Each branch has a specific job to do which might rely on partnership with other branches. The important thing to remember is TEAMWORK.....
