Should the military create a warrior class?

I would have to say that high speed operators are all ready being given special treatment. Faster promotions, access to schools and gear. With the GWOT on going there are no battle fronts, everone in country is a target and they all are expected to perform regardless of job.

I think the Infantry units are well respected, at least in the Marine Corps, they do the heavy lifting and everyone knows it. But everyone plays their part, the Grunts are better protected with artillery, air support etc, everyone who’s not in the 03 field supports those guys to the best of our ability to help them be as successful as possible. I’m post Nam, so guys at the bases, fire bases, air bases surely had to know how to handle a weapon, and I’m sure they’re a part of the reactionary force with a pre appointed fighting position. Am I wrong to assume a FOB in Afghanistan is the same?

You’re A funny dude!
Dismounted maneuver usually doesn’t make it very high on the HPTL.
You are the tip of the spear until you have to call for fire, and then you are not.
You are the tip of the spear until you call for air support, and then you are not.
You are the tip of the spear right behind route clearance.
Incidentally, all those “non-warriors” that are the tip you the spear when you need help and don’t deserve your respect,... usually higher on that list.

First off. There is no Combat Arms anymore. It has been gone for a while.
Second, this is ridiculous. It is pathetic of an Infantryman to believe they are better or should be viewed as better or more important than anyone else.
Infantry = child soldier. The least specialized of any MOS. If anything it should be reversed. The support should be held higher than the Operations Division.
NOTHING happens without support. A light infantry squad can last what maybe a week on their own, but then they need food, water, and ammo. Where does that come from? 1SG doesnt just show up with it.

It's called being a quiet professional, just do your job and the others will do theirs. Theres a handful of Army values that can be brought up here, but I'm sure everyone already knew that and they slipped minds before this thread was started.

You a GD E7 in USArmy and you asking a dumbass question like this
Pull your huggies up and grow a pair, the USArmy is a team, that's the only way it works. Don't need no more prima dona's than we already have!

Crazy! How will the support soldiers feel when combat arms soldiers act like gods and badasses who demand more respect?

You are trolling, right? The prior responses have been a good read and a good education for any young soldier who is wondering how the army really works, so there are benefits to your trolling. When I was a young airborne infantry platoon leader and company XO I use to think, "those guys" up there are a bunch of idiots still fighting the last war (Vietnam). When I was an aviation assault company commander I use to think, we really need to be doing things my way. When I was an aviation attack battalion XO, I finally saw the big picture, particularly how it all fits together in a corps combined arms operation. All the pieces fit together well and it really is a "well oiled machine". There is no room in the "well oiled machine" for one part to say it is more important than another part. Even the financial clerks make the machine run smooth from way back in the rear.

Send them to Parris Island before BCT/AIT - team building the ole fashioned way. Out of survival.

I'll keep this simple without turning the subject into a rant. The military already has a Warrior Class. Every Soldier has his/her place. No one at the top can do its job without the security and support of everyone. Operational status is a goal that relies on a selection process. Every school in the Army has a selection process. It all boils down to how bad you want it and how far you are willing to go. Every Soldier is a member of the Warrior Class, all have different jobs to do.

I think those that work in jobs that seek contact with the enemy should be recognized, but as other respondents have stated, there already exist a number means to do so. From awards for valor and various symbols of service earned by going into combat or deployments, to peacetime recognition for volunteering for combat leadership courses, there is recognition. One thing that I think would definitely be good, if it does not currently exist, is a way for such Soldiers to complete a college degree or the majority thereof online while they are active duty so that if they choose not to stay in for a career, they will have an easier transition to the corporate world after. But yes, I hold those that volunteer to close with the enemy in a special regard. I also hold all the other Soldiers in high regard.
