Airborne is pretty hardcore too, but I dont wanna get into a who is best chest beating ritual. I will just say that I respect anyone that wishes to serve the country in the armed forces. Each branch has diffrent units that serve the country in diffrent ways. They all specialize in diffrent ways also. Marines are the first in, in any battle (I hated when my unit was on alpha increment). But there is no doubt that our country wouldnt be where we are without the honorable service of the airborne, rangers, seals, recon marines, etc. So, to every one that has ever served, is presently serving, or will serve in the future, I take my hat off to yall. Joining the military is not a popular choice right now, but a necessary one. Sorry, I was rambling, LOL. Anywho, that was my 2 cents. KG
