Marines, No Brain, no pain
Army, Be bombed all you can be" (or, Army of Juan.)
Navy, See all the sea you ever want to see.
Air Farce, We are the inteligent force, we send our officers out to die.
(Only officers fly and get shot down)

These were the words an Air Farce recruiter used to convence me to join the AF.

The previous post reminded me of when I first joined the USAF. A group of us had finished taking the battery of entrance exams and the recruiter had called off a bunch of names. He said he was sorry, but the names he called out had not scored high enough on the exams to be considered by the USAF. However, if they still wished to become members of the Armed Forces, they could take their paperwork down the hall to the Army and Navy recruiters and they could enter that service. That incident prompted me to pen the following, which I'm sure will incur the wrath of some:

The Marine Corps wants a few good men,
The Air Force takes only the best.
The Army and Navy don't give a damn,
They take what's left of the rest.

Never ague with an idiot, those watching may not be able to tell who is who.

Comes from a posting at a job I used to have, which reminds me of another quote from someone who obviously got paid by the hour:

"If we do it right, it'll take all day."... May have been me, sarcastically mocking the "Dead Wood" co-workers. Love my new job!!

BDD · 03-22-2008

None other than Thomas Jefferson, in old age, advised HIS grandson to never, ever talk politics. He said that he'd never seen anyone actually convince anyone else to change their views and, in fact, he'd only seen people get angry and even tend to shoot one another over it.

He was giving advice on a career, how to succeed in it and what not to do.

It's amazing to me that this is what Thomas Jefferson had learned.

GTJIM · 04-16-2009

Democracy is not a natural State. It is a gradual and difficult, man-made, creation against the stated desires of the natural sections of power (authoritarian, military, class etc.). It requires constant participation and can only be maintained by the toughness of its citizenry.
