Haha, infantry doesn't just walk nowadays. Even still, cavalry is infantry now. At any rate, I was making the distinction that the Army was the first military we had, not the Marines, which came just a few months later. That part had nothing to do with infantry. The overarching point being that neither branch has any reason to look down on another or on anybody, for that matter. They are all part of the same military. Being elitist about it undermines what integrity there is. You don't see green berets or SEALS hopping on forums and being blowhards about how fantastic they are and how the rest are useless twats and they actually are elite. The Marines is just another branch of rifle slingers, and I mean that with some respect for the process, if not the individuals in question. The attitude of some just does not fit reality and it chafes.
