Three generals and an admiral were debating who had the bravest men.
The Admiral said, my navy SEALs are the bravest men, bar none. He called a SEAL forward, and ordered him to run into the nearby ocean, and drown himself. The SEAL complied, and of course, died. The Admiral stated "My sailors are the bravest men around."
The Marine Corps general said that his Marines were of course, braver. He called a Recon Marine forward. The sharp-looking Marine received orders from the General to throw himself on a live grenade, which the Marine Cheerfully and promptly did, evicerating himself. The General stated "My Marines are the bravest men around."
The Air Force General He called a Para Rescueman forward, and ordered him to board a nearby helicopter, go to about 500 feet, and jump without a parachute. The Para Rescueman complied, and of course, died. The General stated "My Airmen are the bravest men around."
The Army General looked around and found the scruffiest-looking yardbird of a grunt he could find. The soldier appeared to hung over, was unshaven and his uniform was a mess. He called the sullen, sloppy excuse for a soldier forward. "Soldier," he bellowed, I want you to run into the ocean and drown yourself."
Without hesistation, the soldier replied, "You can get bent."
The General, becoming angered, continued, "Okay then. Blow youself up with a grenade."
"Go to Hell, you old bastard!" the soldier shouted back.
"All right, be insubordinate," the General responded. "Instead, go up in that helicopter to about 500 feet, and jump without a parachute, and that is an order, from a general, which I expect you to obey."
"Well General," the soldier replied, "you can go f--k yourself, and so can these three idiots standing here with you."
"Gentleman," the General addressed to his flag-rank three companions, "I present to you the bravest fighting man in the US Armed forces."
