Should the military create a warrior class?

I think certain segments are already treated with more respect. But if they start looking down on the others they will lose that respect.

Everybody that is in a uniform chose to be in that uniform. A lot didn't choose the career field they are in and the gain ability to be on the front lines...I am glad we have operators like you mention but give yourself a pat on the back but don't sprain your shoulder. A true warrior doesn't demand or go looking for respect they silently earn it. By posting something so arrogant is a pop in the face of everyone that ensured you got where you needed to be with the supplies, beans and bullets that you required. I would have expected a lot more from a SNCO...The problem is that you are probably breeding this dribble onto your subordinates...hope they don't bite.

Ok buddy...Sure.
Let me know next time you want to fly to the objective whilst being protected by my crew. Since you're so damned elite, I'm sure you won't mind walking your elite self to the objective 100 miles away?

An SFC? You cannot be serious. One of my old PSGs was an infantryman before becoming a Blackhawk crew chief. He'd be the first to tell you how not special and full of it you are.

The last time I checked we haven't had a draft since the Vietnam era, so with all do respect, we all chose our MOS. I respect everyone in their chosen jobs while in service, but to say that one MOS should be treated with a higher regard is BS! I put my life and soldiers life on the line every time we stepped ground on that Desert Sand. I have been shot at, convoy hit with IED's and even lost a soldier, so I guess we should be put at higher regard for doing what we signed up to do......

An elitist force in the military? A recipe for disaster. we all have differing skillsets, and we all bring something to the table- no one of us is better than all of us, that is the essence of the military. We all swore to "protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic", and to indicate, by word or deed, that one part of the military is better, faster, stronger, smarter or more qualified to achieve glory is to destroy the very foundation that makes us "a force to be reckoned with" - Teamwork.

I honestly feel everyone should be respected.

SFC (Join to see) You're a currently serving member? Wow. I feel for the people that work for you, and for all the people who support the people who work for you. You are, quite possibly, the first e-7 I've ever met that loses all respect from me. I know that won't matter to you. Your ego is large enough to absorb the justified disdain of any number of people.

I'll just say this, Robert (I won't even grace you with your rank, which I think you somehow paid for or something, like some medieval ass who murders his peasants), Let's see how friggen far you get in your 'warriorship' without food, eh? Or medical attention. Or, ya know, your weapons. Unless, of course, in y our magical universe, you simply hold out your hands and they magically appear, rather than through the efforts of 100 people before they ever get to you.

Please tell MS3 Lakeina Francis (Mess Specialist. Cook.) that her service is worth less than yours, you unmitigated ass. Of course, you'll have to do it at her GRAVE, because she died on the USS Cole, along with many others you would consider 'non-combatants'.

Or hey, let's talk about another group who gave more than your beloved infantry in WW2: Merchant Marines. Their rate of losses was higher than ANY of the armed services. Are you going to tell me they deserve no respect?

MSgt Curtis Ellis Can I get an SMDH?!

Obviously you've never been an intelligence operator moving around in foreign countries, working alone, and unarmed. Maybe you should stay behind whatever desk you work out of.

Piss off!

Will you still regard your "true Warriors" above others when you run out of ammo or food? How about when your equipment breaks down? Where is your regard for the intelligence analyst who ruins his eyes scanning satellite images for untold hours looking for data you need to target? What about the clerk who gets the paperwork organized so all of your assets can be on the same page at the same time? It goes all the way down to the grunt who sweeps out the mess hall so you can eat in comfort. I haven't read the comments of others yet. I'm glad you brought your question out, for I believe it to expose a weakness in the concept of TEAM. From the recruit to the Commanding Officer, every one has to perform for you to win. You have the best training because of the guys who stayed behind to teach. You have the best equipment because of the guy who stayed behind to design. You have the best fighting men because you have a wonderful nation who stayed behind to give you the best raw material. Instead of regarding your fellow warriors as a cut above, you should be in awe of those who provided your fellows to be those warriors. God Bless all of you!
