Not that it matters, but you have to score a little higher on your ASVABs to join the AF.
Which romos wear bell bottoms and snuggle in bunks?
Which gladiators do battle in the wind like the gods?
Neither is superior, but the Air Force has the majority of the nuclear arsenal. "The 'smart' armed forces"? Army and Marines are dumbasses? Just remember that nobody goes to war over airspace or water. Yeah, we (Army and Marines) do the fighting and dying while the Air Force gets 3 hot meals and a cot. Showers and flushing toilets too.
Navy has the Seals and the Marines.
End of discussion.
Which one impresses you more?
I was just watching The Hunt For Red October, a pretty awesome movie. And it got me thinking how impressive some of the Navy's tech is. But of course the Air Force is flat out awesome as well.
These 2 branches are definitely the "smart" armed forces. But which one is superior, in your opinion?
I
True, but AF has pararescuemen, combat controllers, TACP's, Ravens and bunch of other special teams that are actually secret....not many people even know about them or what they do. But they're pretty badass. And I dig the fact that those teams are still kind of secret...like they're supposed to be. Ya know?
Top Gun is much better than Iron Eagle, about the only metric the Navy beats the AF on tbh
Let's just stick w/ Crimson Tide and call it a wrapTrue.
Battleship was pretty badass too, imo. I watch that every time I see it on.

I literally can't even think of another AF based movie off the top of my head besides the illustrious Broken Arrow
I think Fichtner or whatever's pilot in Armageddon was AF too (so is Rhodes in Iron Man), so good callYeah Crimson Tide was alright. Red October > though
Seems to me like there's a lot of Air Force flicks out now. Maybe not solely about the AF, but with strong AF components. Stuff like Transformers, Eagle Eye, the Stargate series...

Broken Arrow is like full on AF tho haha. I don't even care, I like that and Hard Target for early Woo US movies
I have a lot of respect for all branches, but generally the marines and army are viewed as grunts and not rocket scientists, ya know what I mean? Doesn't mean there aren't exceptions, there certainly are. But I'm speaking in general terms of how everybody views each branch. And hey, I was AF and I spent many months in tents in the freakin desert with little to no amenities. AF doesn't always get the nice comfy life like people think. But yeah a lot of times we did, I admit

The Marine are a department of the Navy but don't tell a Marine that.
