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.

As a 73B O3 Medical Officer I went on missions outside the wire and stayed at remote, austere COPs to help keep you in the fight. One team one fight.

If you want more respect than what you already get as a Soldier, hit the prestige button in you character class menu. It's usually at the bottom of the menu next to save and quit. While you're there, try to add a few attribute points to your humility and intelligence and charisma. It might help you open up those hidden dialogue that will make people more receptive of your garbage. I'll bet you never looked down on that medic that was right there with you in the suck getting shot at just like you. That is if you have done any of what you post on your profile.

I think the military is a waste of funds anyway. Half of the "POG" Mos's could easily be done away with coming from a billion dollar company as a project manager, it makes me laugh every time.

I would love to see a Infantryman do his job with no pay, no food, no supplies, no medical, no intelligence, no fire support. Being infantry is not special or hard, I was an 11M for 5 years before I wised up and went 35 series. Some of the worst Soldiers I have encountered were brothers of the cord. Using the word POG is childish, and when a fellow Soldiers uses it; I automatically not only know his/hers maturity level, but their educational level as well; also that person has qualified their opinion into "Junk" status.

I was commissioned as an infantry officer, saw my first combat as a cavalry officer and my second as an SF officer.
How would we go about creating a warrior class? Bow? (Females would be allowed to curtsy). Having others avert their eyes from the greatness that is us? - that would be a good start! No, just kidding! When I was in the service (during the VN war) there was a deference shown to combat troops, especially combat veterans, by others. It was nothing that you could actually put your hand on but it was there. Once I was wandering down the halls of Pentagon East in Saigon looking for Staff Section J-13 where I knew a friend of mine from Ft Benning days worked. I was getting a lot of looks and people moving out of my way as I was wearing dark sunglasses, a green beret and combat jungle uniform with my M16 rifle slung over one shoulder, all in contrast to the sharply pressed semi-dress khaki uniforms worn by all who worked there. I was clearly the only combat soldier they had ever seen.
I finally found Section J-13 and walked through the door. The SP4 who was the receptionist for the section nearly fell all over himself trying to get out from behind his desk and come to attention both at the same time. “How may I help you, sir?” he finally managed to blurt out.
Neither unaware of his good grammar nor of the stir I was causing among these pencil pushers with my field dress I boomed out, “I am Captain von Taráfdar and I am looking for Captain Neville Chatwick. Where is he?” I was escorted toward his office by the receptionist. After my visit I walked back down the hall to the receptionist just as a full colonel from the Air Force walked in. The receptionist barely looked up from his reading and asked the Col. what he could do for him.
BTW 70% of all battle casualties are born by the infantry and operators - that knowledge alone does and should set us apart.

Before you start saying show respect for "true warriors" you go look up Taffy 3, specifically USS Johnston DD 557 and USS Samuel B. Roberts DE 413...
