Why American Soldiers are Superior

[Deleted]

The Marines always recruit heavily in the Southern States because Southern Boys to a large majority have some experience with firearms , killing things , skinning things and eating them , and as a whole have some sense of respect to authority , There Army on the other hand likes inner city kids because their tough and their homogeneous , what some can't stand others adapt too , the Army is big enough that they can have their cake and eat it too , in the Army you've always had your garrison soldier and you have your field soldier , two different animals same uniform and to make the thing really bond you got west point , which produces enough officers who know what their doing and make up for the failings of the Blimps , in Vietnam kids 18-19-20 became stone killers , not a lot but enough to keep the thing rolling they would extent their tour over and over and become the back bone right up to the end .

"killing things , skinning things and eating them"

As always in ODD the point is missed , the coreect asumption is a Country boy can survive .

One of my many failings is the inability to get 'the point' of some of your posts.

The translation into English loses something on its journey across the Pacific. nevertheless my post was a comment on your choice of words regarding the Southern boys 'skills' and experience.

SJ,

Much to my dismay, I have to admit that tet is 100% correct.

Denny,


I am not disputing the qualities of the Southern Soldier, (in particular those from Texas). Their performance in the ACW was outstanding, and they lasted about twice as long as they should have, given how lop-sided it all was.

I was trying to make an aside about some of their 'skills' that they took to the fight!
