An old Army buddy told me this is how he feels. He tells me I'm World Class all the time. Perhaps read some of the comments. I for one know we are World Class Elites. As many of our allied nations military's also. I think some people are equating this to arrogance or conceit. Par for the course these days. This is really quite interesting how the answers are playing out. It seems some people think it means arrogance or conceited. That's not at all what it means. This requires further analysis. Very interesting.

No, and I can only hope that was a satire and or rhetorical question.

The great strength of the American military hasn't been that we are a "warrior class" or any kind of world class or elite group. Rather, it has been that we are average Americans who answered the call to duty to do what was required to defend our values. Or as CPT America said when the Red Skull asked him what made him so special, he replied "I'm just another kid from Brooklyn".
Though on a personal level, I have noticed that the older I get, the better I was. ;)

Yes. The better you were. The better you are for having served. For having stepped onto the World stage among the elite to serve and protect. Thank you.
I think yours is the best answer I've read so far, Sir.

I suspect vets are just like all groups. 10% everyone thinks are great 10% everyone thinks are bums and the rest fall somewhere in between.

That is true in some cases. For the service member who enters just for college money maybe and doesn't really take his status, positions and responsibilities seriously. Is not in it to serve, then yea. They are a bum.
