You would probably like the Air Force more if you were getting your ass kicked by a group of rebels, and a A-10 came in and saved your ass with some wicked CAS......
yeah alot of people in the AF are
pus@^*#$, but from the jobs they do, they relly have no reason to be a bad ass

This is the part that the Gomer Pyles don't get because of their swollen egos. The AF does its thing in a low-key way without the annoying hype and chest-thumping that comes with the Corps. Gomers haven't caught up to the 21st century where technology wins. Need something moved from the U.S. Midwest to the Middle East in a matter of hours? USAF. Need to bomb the
cr@p out of an enemy position? USAF again. "No reason to be a bad ass" is right on - just doing the job.
Where have Marines set foot nowadays where the USAF hasn't already laid down some hellfire to clear the path (or COULD have if the strategic leaders wanted to)?
Gomers still have the mentality that they can just march around and conquer places as if we were living 200 years ago. Duh, we're Marines and we'll march to Iraq from camp Pendleton, Guh!! There's an ocean in the way? Uhhhhhh, I know! Let's ride on a ship and we'll be there in no time, Doy! Sure....sailing was slow when Christopher Columbus did it and it's still slow today.
I see that MTSU has added a goofy USMC recruiting banner at the bottom of his posts. OK, I can stir the pot too: here comes one of the most stinging insults that can be brought to bear on a Marine (they HATE this one)! Ready........here goes:
The U.S. Army can basically do your job. You guys are a waste of my taxpayer dollars.
You got served! Gentlemen, we're up to 5 pages and we're just getting started!
