Should the military create a warrior class?

I really don't know how to respond to this , I was an 11h in e company 2nd 325inf bat 82nd abn, and every hq. Person we had was assigned to one of the companies 3 platoons and humped it right along with us most of the time when we were in the field, they rarely got over by being support mos's and they almost always had higher promotion pts. the we did

This is stupid, I took 2 minutes out of my day to (in short) say "You're and idiot."

I think, vis-a-vis the private sector and civilians as a whole, the military is a warrior class. It's apart and aside and yet also a component of the overall whole. As regards the people who do a lot of the fighting, I think they're already recognized as such inasmuch as they are on the salient edge of our defense. You have to give credit where credit's due, and even if you're not kicking in doors are putting rounds in targets, we're all on the same side. We all have the same overarching objectives: complete the mission, return home with honor and get ready for whatever's next. Easily said, however. Much less easier to practice that in the battle space.

NO

Every troop in any field can find themselves in a combat situation.

Combat vets already get special treatment what more do you want? God Status?

As military members we are equal. The phrase 'one team, one fight' means we all share the same goal. Our MOS may differ and we need to understand that. You can't compare apples to oranges. You willbe mislead if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. You kick doors down, cool. I'm here to make sure you get the right door. I respect your dedication and discipline, as you respect me for mine.

Back in My day, We ALL had to learn and perform Infantry tasks...

How many of the high value targets were infantryman? Make no mistake about it, we prepare to defeat the enemies infantry to get to those key center of gravity we need to defeat the enemy. We do it by destroying their aviation, signal, intelligence, information, etc. assets. It takes the entire team and we need exceptional support all areas.

First of all everyone regardless of MOS or title is first and foremost a infantryman the wars in iraq and afganistan proved that . I personally know a parts clerk that i would chose him as my gunner over any grunt. As far as respect, that is earned not automatically given just cause you wear the crossed rifles.

I remember all the effort put into making no class distinction between us. And now we're saying we should create division, just to satisfy someone's need for recognition or feelings of superiority. I think it goes against the core of things.

That's rediculous and best summarized by the complaints I heard as an IG with Task Force 134 in Iraq. The soldiers were frustrated because a Colonel weighed close to 300lbs if he weighed an pound. He had been serving over 30-years and was the only neurosurgeon in theater. Lets face it, I am proud of my combat arms soldiers but when I need brain surgery they are simply no substitute. Everyone has a role and a gift, to accentuate and over another demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of how we fight wars.
