If you want to BRAG, go to it. If you want to defend those who slam other branches of the service, then you are the adolescent I suspect you are.

"If you want to defend those who slam other branches of the service, then you are the adolescent I suspect you are."

Amazing how you continue to dig yourself deeper into the ground with each reply!
Your playground level diatribes reveal you have NO military background to give you a clue about those you address here.

I will say the words slowly so you can perhaps comprehend...
T-h-e-r-e / a-r-e / n-o / S-L-A-M-S here !!
Just good-natured jousting among brothers - all parts of a greater whole, each with different assignments and requirements.

You really should withdraw quietly from something you never will understand.

You still don't get it, Junior.
Let me try it this way:
My brother was career Navy, fought in the Pacific in WWII, his destroyer sunk with most hands lost.
If he were alive today, I'd throw jabs at him about the superiority of the United States Marine Corps over the U.S. Navy, but you can bet that I have always been proud of his service to his country, and I'd whip anyone who tried to belittle his sacrifice.
The military of the United States is a fraternity of men and women who take a great deal of pride in their own particular branch of that service, but when push comes to shove we all work together to achieve that common goal of defeating the enemy.
We don't need outsiders like you who haven't even seen military service to tell us how it's supposed to be done.
