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.

I'm an academic (and former 11B) researching American 'warrior' culture. The responses on here are fascinating and a little surprising. Thank you for asking the question, but the negative reaction shows how seriously most of us believe in the value of teamwork. We may give our POG friends a hard time, but in the end the guys out front (which in Iraq could be anybody on a bad day) know we're all in it together. Your responses represent the very best values of American military service. Hoo-fuckin'-ah!

Oh, and if you want to talk about training and destroying bodies, go watch a Sapper Leaders Course in action, and then come back and tell me that no one trains as hard as the Infantry.

I think that maybe you are in the military for the wrong reasons, or, at the very least, have forgotten the mission. I'm former Navy, my best friend in the Navy, enlisted in the Army and is now a CWO3 operator. I respect the hell out of him, but if he said this to me, I'd laugh in his face. Then run. :)
