This kinda-sorta branched off of the "deciding on a branch" thread. Feel free to turn this into a  "which is the best" thread.


Personally, I'd say Air Force. They do little that the Navy or Army cannot do.

Army Infantry man.  If youve got what it takes go in the US Army Special Forces.  I wish I was Special Forces.  Those guys are gods.

the only time the Army and Marines get along are in a combat zone or a video game forum.

Army is better.

I was looking forward to voting for the removal of the Marines.

Where are the Marines and Coast Guard?

Coast Guard would be my choice. They're fine men and women, but they could just get jobs in the Navy and we could have the Navy defend our coasts. Would YOU try to traffic drugs into a harbor guarded by a destroyer?

Excellent. It begins, indeed.

@jord -- the Marines are not a branch of the US Military.

Each serves a different role.  I say you really can't eliminate any.

QFT @ Coast Guard

we NEED the Air Force as superiority in the skies is a necessity

we NEED the Navy as superiority on the waters is a necessity

we NEED the Army/Marines as infantry is obviously necessary

but we don't need the Coast Guard as much as the others.

It is associated with the Navy by tradition.  It is a separate branch operationally.

According to the DoD, you have Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines as seperate branches. The claim that they're not a branch is baseless.

While SOME of what I argued in the Waco stuff I agee with, I wanted you to know that it was a comment you made that inspired me to argue a nutty point of view, in this case.

The other day I was tasking you about not downing the Bush Admin, and you pointed out that if we all agreed the place would be boring.


One of the things that has been boring me about the forum is that I haven't been able to piss anybody off in a long while.

Call me whatever kind of whore you like, the karma rolls in from mods and liberals, and always has. Too many noobs kissing my ass instead of taking me on.

So, the guy with the best reputation set out to fuck it up a little.

David Koresh was a child molester. Tim McVeigh was a kookball. There will be no revolution because frankly, even as bad as it is in some  ways, we still have the best standard of living and the greatest nation. Until that changes in some big way, I'm still a flag waver. I will be voting McCain this year.

But, that's boring to talk about.


I don't think I'll be going to tracker, I may even get myself banned out of boredom.


Good day

theyre budget comes from the dept of navy I think, not a separate allotment like the other services.

Because blackhawks are definitely suitable replacements for C-5s.  The navy can easily transport an M-1 tank anywhere in the world within 24hrs.  F/A-18s are definitely the ultimate air superiority and strategic bombing platform...and the rest of the services can function just fine without satellite recon, global communications, GPS, etc.  There really is no need for an Air Force./sarcasm
