This is the problem

We expect people with thin skin like you to defend our country

Thanks for your service, but shut the hell up with this crap

I thought the Chair Force jokes were hyperbole, until I started working with the Air Force SATCOM guys on Rammstein, and they introduced me to their fricking golf course and mall.

Their SATCOM gear was even better than my lowest bidder Army STTs and Phoenix terminals.

Soft.

Are you sensitive about the particular label for the Navy? Sounds like a you issue, brotha.

USAF here and I enjoy the ribbing both from vets and from civilians. It's typically not a lack of respect, just busting chops.

Because men like to frick with each other. I frick with my best friends to no end. And they frick with me right back. Men recognize that this is all in good fun, which is why no branch gets all sissy about it - except the Navy.


I am all for banter between people who have actually served. My problem is with people who have never worn the uniform feeling entitled to put down on different branches. Not just Navy, all branches for whatever reason.

It is not the critic who counts but the man in the arena.

Only branch I make fun of is the Aggies because it’s fake, make believe, and overall very weird.

I never served.
And I don't clown anyone who does, unless it's people I know very well personally. People I have a good enough relationship that I would clown around with no matter what profession they were in.

Because it’s a joke and not to be taken seriously. When bullets start flying, the men in the branches will work together as one military and treat each other with respect.

Actually this is the best response. Anyone who didn’t serve cannot bag on any branch. That’s why I don’t make fun of any branch

I remember in the ROTC building at LSU, the bathroom had three urinals. On the floor in front of the urinals were three bumper stickers - Army, Air Force, and Navy. They were placed on the spot where a member of said branch should be able to stand and piss into the urinal (and apparent size of their junk). The Army sticker was about ten feet back. The Air Force sticker was about three feet back. The Navy one was under the urinal.

Frat behavior.

Does that extend to the Sheriff's Dept?

Are you asking can the sheriff’s department bang on military or are you asking if they should be respected like the military?

TYFYS, but jokes about the branches of service have been around long before you took the oath. Bob Hope brought a lot of joy with them with his Christmas tours around the world. Not a soul was offended.
Don’t take it so seriously.
