Should the military create a warrior class?

It is attempt to build your self esteem and tear down that of your supporting soldiers, that also get killed on the battle field, in ten years you will look back on this statement and wish you never made it.

Please do not confuse my sarcasm with disrespect.
Begin Sarcasm
The best reason to join the military should be the respect earned from being an 11Bang-bang... There's no reason in be humble and happy with just, ya know: defending your country, the Constitution, bringing peace and safety to those subject to violent extremist organizations...
Everyone knows that Superman only saves the world because people show him love.
Everyone knows that policemen only serve and protect because of the respect they get from wearing a uniform.
End Sarcasm
We're soldiers. Our job is to do what's right.
If you're only an infantryman because of the glory, then I pity you.
How about we treat "defending freedom" with higher regard?

As former Cavalry Scout and later Combat Medic, I can tell you no job is easy and every job is critical for you or anyone to be badass in the military. In fact during and sometime after world war II 19Ds was actually classified as 11D MOS until someone decided it belongs with armor and Cav Scouts in the past used to receive Combat Infantryman Badge as it should be since they are basically targeting dummies unlike infantry who are bitches who walk after them. How's that for ego stroking?
And please tell me how much of a badass you are when your ass gets hurt and you have to report to the medical station or got your balls blown off by IED. With the medic by your side, please tell me who is the real badass now?

Those that know mainly do so I think. In service, there is a healthy rivalry between combat arms and support and more than a bit of mutual disdain too. That has been so since the legions and it's probably never going away.

Face it the civ world does not care unless they are vets or family members of those who've done the time. That may get irritating at times but perhaps it's for the best. Our Republic has done quite well throughout it's history w/o a publicly acknowledged "warrior class" despite it's fortune in having one in the form of long serving professional NCOs/officers rather unique in republican history.

We all served for various reasons, long term or not. I never expected recognition outside of family and service and I seldom got any until the last few years as it's become popular to "thank a vet".

The military does have a warrior class it starts when you graduate Boot camp/Basic training everything after that is just improving skills not all members are cut out to put boots on the ground but they are required/needed to keep the boots on the ground and advancing. I am thankful that each of us finds our place in the service of our country and does the best they can.

I think my main problem with this is; what would it mean on the ground? Would a supply officer be "under" an infantry non-NCO? That doesn't make sense. How would we know who to give extra respect to in a branch like the Corps, where there are no identifying markings on uniforms?

In a sense, there already is this divide. Combat experience vs none, valor awards vs those without, uniform devices and covers (berets, Stetsons even), and the like already make a distinction between those who've fought or signed up to fight (with varying means of insertion/extraction) versus those who haven't, don't, can't, or won't.
But here's the thing...everyone has a part to play, and we all must work as a team in order to accomplish our missions. "Bullets don't fly without supply" is one way of looking at it, but I prefer the 5th SOF truth to drive my point home:
Most Special Operations require non-SOF assistance.

Should I treat you "legs" the same way? AATW! Our FCS works all night supporting the line while they are sleeping. One Army, One fight. Get a grip. Together we win wars. Never alienate the ones who support the line.

I responded on this before and I cannot believe it has passed along this far. This is the mind of an egotistic person. You really need to check yourself WARRIOR, lol
