Doesn't matter which branch of the military you have, are or going to serve in, you are all heroes and have done an outstanding job protecting the United States of America for 236 years. It takes all 5 branches to do the job, and when you mix them they are brothers and sisters in uniform, from the basic trainee to the top generals. Thank God for the men and women in uniform, Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard!!

Haha, people getting upset over this. Just for the record, this is an ARMY GENERAL, and the reason he tells the joke like that is because he's speaking in front of the Marines...its called relationship building

THE NIGHT ONE SOLDIER CRIED
One snowy late night Christmas Eve, a soldier, weary, found reprieve.
He looked into the starry skies, blurry from his tear-filled eyes.
-
His boots crunched in the icy snow, his steamy breath rose from below.
He limped into a silent house, as stealthy as a frightened mouse.
The Christmas tree sparkling bright, a beacon in this darkened night,
reminded him of rocket glare, when bullet blasts had split the air.
The fireplace burning soft and warm brought memories of those firestorms.
The rescue copter filled his mind with memories he'd tried to leave behind.
-
He tiptoed down the darkened hall and steadied himself against the wall.
Their bedroom door was open wide, as if they didn't need to hide.
In a crib beside the mother's bed just inches from her sleeping head,
now lay a tiny newborn boy, his father's new found pride and joy.
He watched with love his infant son and blessed the freedom he had won.
For this gift he'd risked his life, endured those months of pain and strife.

His wife awoke and jumped up fast. "Thank God!" she said. "You're home at last!"
She reached for him and lost her fears. "And here's your son," she said in tears.
He laughed aloud and held his son and smiled for the victory he had won.
This baby strong and freedom born received his father on Christmas morn.
He looked into his baby's eyes and cried away his cool disguise.
That soldier, weary, found reprieve one snowy late night Christmas Eve.

I love this guy. He understands that little rivalry among armed forces does good.

I'm quite happy flipping my ponytail from 30,000ft, thank you. If I wanted to be sucking Iraq dust in the sun with 100lbs of gear, I'd have bothered to consider the Army or Marines, and quite frankly I don't care what any soldier or devil dog thinks! AF haters can go to hell. ;)
