I would rather be a pirate because you can stay up late, get intoxicated, get paid, get the ladies, and get up late as much as you want.

I know I'm a bit late on this one, but this one was waaaay too funny to pass up!

The ninja seems closest to the way we like to conduct some of our theater operations: infiltrate, dominate, and exfiltrate before anyone realized we were there. Pirates are loud and love to party. Ninjas train, prepare, and meditate. If I had to choose, I would be a ninja...

Well I better toss my thoughts out there...

On one hand we have pirates who are are loud, crass, drink heavily, have cool swords, and shoot guns. When you need something blown up, they are the engineers of the sea. On the other hand we have ninjas, who are quiet, stealthy, and also have cool swords. The downside to ninjas is when you need something done, or someone killed you can never find a ninja. Come to think of it, I never see them at all!

As a 12B I must say I relate more to pirates than ninjas, though being in the Army does not allow me to sail the high seas, the low seas, or any seas in between.

Based on the Lego models I found, I say Pirates are the way to go.

SFC Beau Deacon does seem to have the pulse of the issue. It is hard to argue his logic and the presentation of graphic evidence is hard to refute. And then there is rum...

Running some stats on the outcome, I find an interesting contrast:

25% more enlisted chose Pirates over ninja

30% more Officers (including warrant and ROTC) chose ninja over Pirate

Is there some officer secret we are being made unaware of at work here?

Or perhaps it is just that NCO Business is more frivolous and Piratical in nature where Officer Business is more serious and subversive? What is your take on this?

I will need to review this and his other videos at a later time when I have greater availability to appreciate all the subtlety that is offered.
