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.

After reading the comments, I came to recognize you were 'stirring the hornet's nest", especially by your personalization of the comment with the 'I believe.." My personal response is: Those who take the oath to serve and follow their oath until they no longer can due to End of Service (Medical, Age, completion of contract, or Death) ARE the "Warrior Class". Each part of this class is just as important as ANY other aspect in consideration of the Mission Objective. No matter how gung-ho of a He-Man warrior you are: you still need a target, transport to it, (and all the support for that transport), Tools of your trade - (Weapon, ammo, etc.), support while taking the target (which may be delivered from Air, Ground, or Naval forces which also need the support of coordination to be where you need them), and when the job is done: the ride home.
Let's not forget the other Heroes of our military family - those at home that wait for our hopeful return - Our wives and children.

I learned once from one of my peers that a true leader will care for the growth and well being of the others as well despite of their rank or time in service. I would implement important courses that prepare them for the future when they have to claim their benefits. A lot of soldiers leave the military and never know they have so many benefits to go for, I say this because I see so many homeless veterans that don't know their tools to get all their entitlements, No one told me what to do I had to research years after I left the military to find my rights.

I'm going to have to disagree....... especially given the standards required to be an infantryman, our standards are the exact same as everyone else's army wide. Yes there are unit SOP's, but those (in my experience at least) are rarely enforced if the soldier isn't a total shitbag. I think the warrior class you're referring to is called special forces.

We are all Warriors. Thinking that you are superior to others because of you MOS is foolish, ignorant and the initial point of failure. One team one fight.

I saw this post and kind of understand but at the same time I don't. As a Marine and a combat one to boot, if it wasn't for all my fellow servicemen all working each and every position my ass wouldn't have made it back from Nam. I remember each branch and each ones efforts while in Khe Sanh and in Quang Tri by Dong Ha. Marines, Navy, Air Forces, Sea Bees, and Army were all around me and had input every step of the way. Even the clerks back stateside doing paperwork for the new recruits who were going to replace each one of us. We are all part of the Team and I respect each and every position.

Not a class... but definitely a culture. You can not socially stratify a true warrior and that was the mistake of the Japanese Samurai culture. Being a warrior entails more than a gung-ho attitude or belonging to a particular branch. We are long overdue in understanding what being a warrior truly is. Good luck to us Americans with realizing that at the proper time.
