Cacati in mano e pigliati a schiaffi!

What the gently caress is yut? Also don't you get a blood stripe after being "first" when deployed. Also after your first night in the field when you just get to the unit. You know, when a dude grabs an arm or leg each, puts some poo poo under your stomach and take turns inserting stuff into your butt all night until you can guess the safe word? Blood stripe supposed to be the blood running down your leg the next morning and if you can survive first formation without crying or telling on people you get to keep it.

yut, 'rah, and kill are all acceptable responses/exclamations to pretty much anything and everything.

When, for example, "AYE AYE GUNNERY SERGEANT" is considered the only acceptable response to a suggestion or instruction directed at you from an E-7, there's a lot of pleasure to be had in using single syllable grunts to communicate whenever possible.

There is a reserve army base 2 miles or so from were I live. I very rarely see anyone in uniform.

edit : wow I looked up the base and it actually can house 11k troops and has firing ranges and other crazy poo poo. I never hear anything and barely see anyone when I drive by it.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
There's only 2 branches in the US Military, the Army and the Navy. The Air Force is a club and the Marines are a cult.

Most marines seem to agree with this one though

And then the Marines just didn't exist for 10+ years after the war. Same with the Navy.

So for this dumb game the Army has been in service longer than any other branch.

this is the dumbest poo poo in this whole dumb circlejerk. does the fact that bomber crews got slaughters in huge numbers somehow diminish the deaths of marines or anyone else? the 8th airforce got it harder than anyone else in the us military. 135000 men served in the 8th airforce and about 19% of them died. by comparison, going off peak numbers of 8.2 million in the army and 475k in the marines, 3.8% of soldiers and 5% of marines died in ww2
