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 is beyond ignorant. I suppose you never heard of asymmetrical warfare? Second the most dangerous job during OIF was 88M not 11B. I would argue that MPs and Combat Engineers had a harder job than most infantryman.

I'm so glad I'm home these days, wrapped up my DD214 blanket. As a former NCO in the infantry, i sit here wondering how to even respond. Yeah we might have done a job requiring a lot of physical damage to our bodies and mental strength different from that of support MOS's, but we chose that job knowing the outcome. I hold myself no higher than any other soldier, but I take pride in knowing I was one of the few that chose to join the infantry. Every job in the military is necessary, without support MOS's we don't get beans, bullets, and paid. Your mind is obviously gone.

Two things for you;
Firstly you apparently haven't been in long enough to know that every gear in the machine keeps it going.
And the most important one is, you should have join the Marines were everyone is trained as a basic infantryman. And in the Marines we don't really care, a brother is a brother.

What does higher respect look like? Is the salute held higher, or longer? Respect is earned and mutual

Hmm, I was a POG, but you did, do, and will always sorely miss my cannons when you need them.

Wow. They actully promoted this guy to SFC. I have spent 19 years supporting the trigger pullers. (Signal you can talk about us but you cant talk without us).
This is the biggest personafaction of whats wrong with SNCO's. Just some of you forgot where you came from. And some of you stood on your peers and Soldiers to get there.
And the truth is we are all warriors, hence the warrior ethos. Anyone who thinks other wise needs to head to the door.
I give props to my Combat Arms brothers out there. The trigger pullers, door kickers and string pullers. I guess he forgot that he is looked up to as a 11B and as a SNCO.

This is probably the most pathetic, self serving post I have ever seen on here. You want everyone to kiss your ass? Give me a break.
I have served as a combat arms Soldier and as a support Soldier. The Army is a team, not two classes of people. Comments like this serve to divide our proud organization.
