Default Which Military Service is best?

Military service

A Soldier, a Sailor, an Airman and a Marine got into an argument about which
branch of the service was "The Best." The arguing became so heated the four
service men failed to see an oncoming truck as they crossed the street. They
were hit by the truck and killed instantly.

Soon, the four servicemen found themselves at the Pearly gates of Heaven.
There, they met Saint Peter and decided that only he could be the ultimate
source of truth and honesty. So, the four servicemen asked him, "Saint Peter,
which branch of the United States Armed Forces is the best?"

Saint Peter replied, "I can't answer that. However, I will ask God what He
thinks the next time I see Him. Meanwhile, thank you for your service on Earth
and welcome to Heaven."

Some time later the four servicemen see Saint Peter and remind him of the
question they had asked when first entering Heaven. The four servicemen asked
Saint Peter if he was able to find the answer. Suddenly, a sparkling white dove
lands on Saint Peter's shoulder. In the dove's beak is a note glistening with
gold dust. Saint Peter opens the note, trumpets blare, gold dust drifts into
the air, harps play crescendos and Saint Peter begins to read the note aloud to
the four servicemen:

MEMORANDUM FROM THE DESK OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE

TO: All Former Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines

SUBJECT: Which Military Service Is the Best

1. All branches of the United States Armed Forces are honorable and noble.

2. Each serves America well and with distinction.

3. Serving in the United States military represents a great honor warranting
special respect, tribute, and dedication from your fellow man.

4. Always be proud of that.

Warm regards,

GOD, USAF (Retired)

Not trying to buy into this , just repeating a less subtle jibe, that the
difference between God and pilots (in general) is that God doesn't think
he's a pilot.

Art, did you read item 3? It applies to George Bush and all the other
veterans that you like to slam on this newsgroup. Does this mean you'll
stop slamming them, or are you going to ignore God's memorandum?

What did you fly?


And why does that matter?

You see, Artie, with your history in thei NG, what would appear as a
simple question is actually a form of snide put down.

So, once again, why does it matter?
