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.

So i guess you've never been to a motorpool. You know, when 11b's break their stuff and a 91b has to fix it, then gets voluntold for some patrol after that. Or has to go pull a burnt up truck back to the motorpool then turn around and pull convoy security. Yeah, but they don't deserve the same level of respect... yeah that makes sense

You anti warrior elites are all WRONG in your insipid weak ass PC view the ARMY TEAM(All Equal) is "everything" at the expense of the SHARP edge/KILLERS. There is MISSION and the SUPPORT of MISSION. WE are to KILL the enemy not cook,fuel or civil affairs him to death. The Green machine is NOT about social experiments ,social advancement or "all men are created equal" BS, it is about WINNING at all cost,not "koom-bi-yah" were all equal at all cost.

What a can of worms you have opened.. I worked as an MP for a Special Operations Command for over 13 yrs.. Operators, Rangers and most 11B's that have been in the "shit" receive their due respect and high regards.. That said.. I NEVER felt like I was "less" of a Soldier or "less" deserving of respect because I was "just'" an MP.. These "warriors" always treated us like family.. maybe because they slept under the protection my guys provided. and YES.. we have beed toe-to-toe with the enemy with them as well. The only difference is training. Anyone can apply for Special Operations... and 11B was offered to everyone that joined. ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT.. no one can do it alone...

Doesn't make much sense to me sargeant bo disrespect but im a medic on the line with an infantry unit and I go thru all the same stuff that the 11b i work with go thru. The same time there are a lot of apects that they are a higher regard in the things they do I think they deserve respect but they earn it in my eyes. Our supply nco earns my respect he keeps everything goin for us. Our support in my battalion gets down and dirty with the rest of us. So to say they don't deserve the same respect that an 11b should receive is not a valid picture to paint. They have to earn it.

I am actually shocked that anybody would even think about such an idiotic idea. Respect is earned, not given because of your branch insignia. It's a team sport, my friend. If you don't figure that out pretty quickly (you should have already) you are not going to see much success in your future.

How about instead of that ridiculous idea we actually hold leaders accountable and enforce the standards we have now.

No, the idea of regarding grunts higher than the rest of the Army implies that they do more or are more important. Without Intel you wouldn't know where the enemy was to fight. Without supply you would have what you need to fight. With out commo you wouldn't be able to communicate during the fight. Without food services you wouldn't be able to sustain your troops to fight. Every MOS is equally important.
And as for the idea that infantrymen rack their bodies more than anyone else take a look at any Armor Crewman or Scout or any combat arms MOS SSG or above and they are just as broken down and tired as an infantryman. This elitist idealism that 11Bs have is obsurd and I would think that a SFC would have the ability to think beyond the blind pride of an average private and realize the whole Army importance....guess not

Everyone saying without support infantry couldn't do their jobs are proving this guy right. Of the comments I've read in response to the original post their was only two that said one team one fight so to speak. To the guy who mentioned finance maybe finance should pay more attention to Soldiers pay so he wouldn't have to come crying to you!! By the way most fianance is run by civilians most support jobs have civilians all infantry jobs have Soldiers!!! Just saying. I believe one team one fight. Maybe 15 years ago when there was not this type of war being fought Infantry should have been treated differently I don't know though I wasn't in back then. It takes a special person to join the Military and i did my time and I'm proud of it. I thank you all for your service!!!
