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 a POG in the 173rd Airborne. I guess my body lands on pillows and beds of flowers whereas the grunts land on rusty nails and broken glass. So I guess I see the point in how our bodies don't take the same abuse?

As a retired Infantry senior noncommissioned officer with four deployment to Iraq. I would disagree, there's more to being a soldier. I've served with various MOS's, and can say that every person on the ground had a purpose. I had served with Artillery, Armor, scouts and even supply as my counterpart, and can tell you that everyones heart was there to win the fight. If your looking at a specific entitlement then look at the CIB. The military has worked so hard to bring its man, and women in service to work together. Man and women have lost their lives keeping this nation safe, and give so give credit to the ones who lost thier life. Patric coley U.S.A. Retired Infantry First Sergeant.

When growing up in the military, a rifle team leader once told me "there's a few people you don't mess with; 1-Doc 2 - supply 3- cooks 4 - finance." Kind of keeps you thinking that each Soldier is as important as the next. As a fellow Infantryman and a Non-Commissioned Officer, it saddens me to think that there are NCOs that don't understand the big picture. If you don't have support, you don't make it to the fight.
13b- prep your objective with indirect fires before you land on the objective
MP-KEEPS your family and Soldiers safe while in garrison
Supply-3 days into a mission, and you're almost black on water, you call your XO for a resupply, who does he/she task that to?
Finance-pay? No other words needed
I could go on and on with this, but you get the point. Every has their own piece of the puzzle, and we are more powerful together than separate.

I believe that role is already filled by Cav scouts. You may bow down to us if you wish. Scratch that. You will bow!
