I believe Infantry and Operators should be treated with a higher regard in the military.
Even officers and NCOs of all other military specialties should show respect to our nation's true warriors.
The general military is doing a good job of promoting everyone is a warrior but those non combat arms specialties do not train or destroy their bodies like true combatants. I would even say that infantry line medics and navy corpsman that are attached to the marines deserve the same regard.
This is not intended as a put down of other specialties but an awareness that some put in more than others in combat arms.

This has to be the dumbest post I have ever seen. Good luck to all you grunts getting anything done without the help of your support personnel. This post is just plain ignorant and just shows that the Army promotion system is broken if they promoted you to SFC. A true operator is quiet professional and does not require nor want all this attention you so seek.

No they should not. They get combat pay for their aches and pains. Depending on the AOR, I know many 'non-combat" types that have been in the fighting just like the infantry. The military is a true team effort, without the support guys, the "combat" guys couldn't even show up to fight. I subscribe to the notion that anyone who puts on the uniform (regardless of service) is a warrior. Especially in todays all volunteer military.

Show me one grunt who walked all the way from his home base to the battlefield, with no boots or skivvies by-the-way, and when the shooting started he immediately destroys his radio and waves-off all the tactical air because he can't stand the idea some pilot would get to kill enemy that were his-only to kill. Then he refuses a ride back, walking on his severed leg without tourniquet or splint all the way home.

Never! You will understand once you are bleeding, hungry, thirsty, out of ammo, with broken equipment - and you are all alone, not counting other "warriors" in the same condition and situation. Real warriors are already respected and recognized.

The CIB already settled this. I had KP once and wore my CIB because it was indoors. At one point the NCOS brought it up as if to 'let' me continue to wear it. I was also proud of my combat patch and I think everyone should be, I hear they're discriminating against them now. I have respect for EOD by the way. I've seen things before their QRF arrived. I was in a Matv that had a blast. I know theres so many that had it way worse than me even. 1 squad we were Guard. I saw thousands at KAF playing grabass. We never talked about other MOS negative, jokes maybe. When I see negative towards 11b it doesnt seem like a joke.
