SALUTE to all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Those who denigrate any of them are usually those who are unfit to serve or avoided service. You can disrespect those in command but the men and women who serve are above all that.
And I understand that. Having a uncle that retired as an Admiral, I don't know how many stars, showed me videos of many times the Navy has sat offshore and pounded ground to dust to make it safe for our guys to land, and launching aircraft for 2 or 3 days straight, makes me have a little respect and I find myself being kinda touchy about anyone belittling the "grunts" no matter where they served. But I understand how people feel about "The Navy."
Navy-The lowest form of MARINE life.

DeleteBeing an Army puke, I agree with your sentiment Karl, but Brian does have a small point... Navy was our taxi...
