I didn't say the Air Force was better, I didn't say that the Army/Marines are worse. I told him to figure out what he wants to do and "Consider your future when taking the military option into account."
I'm so impressed that you live near an AFB. Me too, 3 actually.. and an Army post.
You're one of those guys who thinks that their service is SOOOO much better than all the others... get off your high horse.
Hey man!! I dont want to get into a service war either , its stupid. I need you just as you need me.
However , even though you did talk about special forces it gave the impression that you were speaking of the branches in general. You said you loved the AF and recommended it. Yes you did say to figure out what he wants to do and "Consider your future when taking the military option into account" but in the Air Force. Basically hinting to him that the Air Force is the only way to go.
I'm sorry if my opinions of your branch offended you. There were just to many bad apples that I came into contact with rather than good every single time.
The bottomline is that you can benefit from any branch that you join. Each branch has just about the same job as the other unless it has something that they only specialize in.
Just to let you know , ' no , I dont think my branch is better than the others.' The only time I think I am better than someone though is basically ppl who dont give a fugg in this world and just cause trouble.
