Well, if that's how you truly believe, you're about 31 flavors of wrong. Can you honestly say that a Coast Guard cutter crew contributes to the war effort as much as an infantry rifle squad? No, they don't, because all they do is bust drug runners and pick drowning people out of the water. And if you drop an Air Force pilot into the middle of a gunbattle, about the only thing he'll "perform admirably" is dying spectacularly. Not everyone in our armed services is as equal or capable as the next, and the same goes for general service capability. This is the real world, not a feel-good episode of Barney, and there is a clear pecking order when it come to making brass fly, and some just don't cut it.
