The Best Song ever Produced For Army Brats

[Xeric]

I have said what I have heard from some retired armymen, maybe the slang is not common now, or maybe you have yet to hear it.....

i will request you to focus on that baby's pic i just posted

The artillery....

Armour is known as king of battle

And now I have an honest question, (since you have given me a schooling anyways), can armor guys lead infantry companies in a high intensity war....

In emergency every officer can command any body of troops. Ofcourse, when infantry officers are available, non infantry officer will not command infantry. This aspect is more applicable in LIC enviorment . But even a Signals officer can command them if infantry wala is not available. BTW, you should know that in case a company commander becomes casualty, and a replacement is not available, it is the artillery observor that takes over the command of the company, even in HIC. Now ask me why? ☺

Ok so you probably think that you are some kind of army guru mate, I judge you to be an army brat and had a dad or someone in the AC (I may or may not be correct on that) and I never said that they dont do any fighting, as for your claim that AC has highest casualties in FATA, I would request a link, and as far as attachments are concerned they are attached mostly (not always) to the Brigade HQs or the Div HQs as G3s, BMs, etc, at no point of a high intensity war has a armor guy been attached to an infantry company wither as their company commander or otherwise (unless he is from the ssg or something).....
In the PA the people in the AC are called Air Conditioned by the infantry.....
I dont mean any offence to what they do and they definitely do very important jobs but the fact is that the infantry has harder jobs.....

you wana know what Special Service Group call the regular army men?? i bet u do wana hear that

yes, but only technically so, even in war the go, bomb shit and come back across the lines to rearm and resuppply, meanwhile the grunt is miles behind lines ball deep in trouble without rations, limited on ammo and being shot at and being bombed.....

The infantry, the infantry,

With the dirt behind their ears,

They can whip their weight in wildcats

And drink their weight in beers.

The cavalry, artillery

And the goddam engineers,

They'll never catch the infantry

In a hundred thousand years!

No offense to our cavaliers what they do is crucial and vital to our army, but the infantry has the true bragging rights when it comes to combat......
Grunts for life.....
