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.

Damn, I was an MP and more on the combat side. Just because I did not live on a C.O.B just not make me less important. How about route clearence, we also do dismounted patrols with I.P's. Yo say that one Mos deserves mote respect than another is crazy. No one mos works without washing the others hands.I believe that's how a true NCO thinks.This is just horse crap. Maybe rangers and S.F. should get all the credit then!

Don't think it would make much of a difference. Those that are in this business simply to be able to gloat "oh I'm infantry" or "Oh I'm SF" usually don't last long. The rest of us (speaking as an infantry medic) while having varied reasons you can usually tie it all together with a desire to just "fuck shit up" - apologize there is no other way to phrase that.
while many outside the role will never admit it openly. we already know that they look on wishing they could do what we do, but they can't, because they're not infantry. They want to be us. their women want to be with us. It's a hard life to live.

SPC (Join to see) - You are right, humor doesn't change the truth but it makes it more palatable! Excuse the question but my curiosity has gotten the better of me. From where is your first name? It's even more rare than mine.

So my real name similar to yours tosses people for a full loop: OisĂn Padáig Ă“' Cruadhlaoich - it's from Ireland like myself. Immigrating to the states though I anglicized the name for an easy time.

Basic Combat Training is NOT AIT. If you went thru boot camp, more than likely you have a secondary MOS as Infantry. I'm an old fart so things may have changed since 1964-1986

With the understanding that I am ignorant as to the training methods for the Marine Corps, it is my understanding that all Marines (male/female) regardless of MOS, are trained infantryman. I don't know if that is valid. I was not in the Marine Corps, I was in the Army and was in the Infantry (11Bravo)
With that being said, I find it hard to swallow the inference of a female Marine cook (for example) has the same combat skillset that I had going through the Army's Infantry School

I agree with the one team, but history and the body count of MOSs tell a different story. I do not think you can make a warrior class inside the military. But, you can not compare a person fighting the enemy face to face with someone in the same military not fighting face to face. We need everyone to make a Military, but someone has to do the dirty deed of killing.

Would you say the Security Forces (MPs of the Air Force) get this same higher regard?
