I see what you are saying now. Let me add a little context for you, as I think this is the disconnect: Army Basic Combat Training is designed to pass all recruits, so if you fail out, you're the exception. Guys like Edward Snowden failed out because he came in as a super out-of-shape kid, so he developed stress fractures. Medical is a big one. There is a poster Mike Armyquit or something. That guy failed out because he had a mental episode where he cut his arms open and tried to make himself bleed to death (guy is a fucking psycho). These are the types of people who don't pass Army Basic Training. For those that are struggling, they will just keep training you until you pass. Marine Corps Boot Camp, on the other hand, is not designed to pass everyone. Over 90% of people pass because it's still not that hard, but people fail because they don't meet the standards. They will give you a certain number of chances to pass each graded event, and if you don't, then you get sent home.I think you guys are interpreting "elite" more within the context of military capability when I was referencing attrition rates (most acutely within the general body, not more specialized forces):

Marines are better careerists, but historically, they have had higher initial attrition rates. I didn't check, it's in that PDF, but if memory serves me correctly, we spend more on average training per Marine recruit than Army recruit.
If this has changed, and the Army boot camp is considered more difficult or extensive than the Marine one, I stand corrected. I know the gender thing has changed standards and practices a lot since I came out of high school.

We are witnessing the dawn of the Imperium of Man, and all you can do is make snarky comments? Sad!
In that case, why bother trying to negotiate for North Korea to give up their nukes? Based on what you're saying it's an exercise in futility and naiveteRight. China won't take any military steps into space. Laws just magically make people not do things. Might rules you clown. DO you know how many treaties and international laws the US and China break every fuckin day? Sit back and let people of action take over. Not lackeys tied to rules. YOu are gonna get us all killed.

Actually I was Air Force. Army assigned for a good chunk of my career though. We zoomies tend to view both services as different species of lower ape though.LOL, I hit a trigger.
Save it for the grunts. You can interpret that as, "More elite at dying", since you're clearly an Army man. It's an anti-mutineer force. It all grew out of that niche. The Marines aren't conquering the Army. That was my big picture. Quibble with the rest of it.
The Army has a much higher budget per Soldier than the Marines do per Marine. They are, by far, the smallest and least funded of the service branches.
You must be confused. Trump could buy you if he wanted to. He could literally own you. All physical attributes go out the window when he has the money & power to do whatever he wantsAh America. The land where even an out of shape, overly sensitive man rustled by comments about his hand size, can be called Alpha.
I wish the laws of nature still applied to us. A 5 foot tall, semi-athletic woman would've beat the shit out of Trump for some fruit by now.
#spacefarceI still cant take this idea seriously
USCG isn't even DOD. They don't count. And the Air Force has a huge budget because they have most of the missiles, including the nukes. Their shit is super expensive compared to our cheap-ass Army stuff.Nah, that’d be the Coast Guard. Smaller than NYPD with a budget that Air Force would wipe its ass with.
This space force thing seems like it’s more about spinning USAF Space Command out into its own entity similar to how they spun AF out of the Army post-WW2.
Funny how Trump cultists always say this, adoringly, about Trump, but they don't say it about George Soros. Might be something to think about.You must be confused.

I seriously don’t even know who that isFunny how Trump cultists always say this, adoringly, about Trump, but they don't say it about George Soros. Might be something to think about.

But can he become leader of the most powerful country in the world like Trump did?He could buy Trump if he wanted. He could literally own him.
I'm sure he could move the goalposts however he wanted with that kind of money. But since you're doing the Trumper Shuffle, let's apply that to every US President, especially the ones you aren't in love with (gross lol).But can he become leader of the most powerful country in the world like Trump did?
