Which I will probably live to regret...
Shockingly, an Infantryman of my acquaintance sent me this.
I would note he's a strategic planner by duty position and not any closer to the fight than the gun dogs he so gratuitiously slams...
We Redlegs, while lending dignity to what is otherwise a vulgar brawl, see it rather differently, of course. We gunners prefer to channel our inner Liddel-Hart:
If you wish to fire back, or dare I say, in support, you can make these gems at despair.com.

On station, ready for call for fire.
By inclination and experience, I'm more of a "close with and destroy the enemy" kind of guy.
But I have to admit that calling in that first DT (determined target) at the end of the day, did wonders in improving my map reading.
Somewhere, in the back of my infantry mind, I always knew that if friendly indirect fire got me, it would be thanks to our own mortar platoon.

Infantry lends a dash of vulgarity to what would otherwise be a very stuffy affair.
Amen.
Nothing beats the infantry for when there's a need to steal the dirt out from under the enemy.
Cannon cockers are good too. Well, as long as they remember to put their product where they're told, when their told and in the amounts they're told to deliver.
That's something the arty and the airdales have in common. Battlefield FedEx for nasty packages with a sign on delivery receipt for the addressee.
Thanks,

He also drew one of the sharpest points of view on the differences between the Air Force and the Army... ("Uncle Willie!")
