Here’s Task & Purpose’s illustrated guide to the seven guys you find in every infantry platoon.
Most civilians picture the infantry as a bunch of dog-faced meatheads who love breaking shit and shooting guns. But does every college kid in America listen to Tame Impala and play ultimate frisbee? Of course not. So it’s just as silly to assume that everyone who serves on the line is cut from the same cloth. From the left-leaning idealist who dreams of writing the next great war novel to the patriotic computer nerd, here’s an illustrated guide to the modern infantry platoon.

I would perhaps want you on my team. We strive for violent action at the target, while remaining as invisible and deniable as possible.

Thanks SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. I realize this is humorous post. I have the utmost respect for the infantrymen I have served with over the decades. Tonight at men's prayer I learned about an infantryman friend who has severe liver cancer.
I tend to have a dark sense of humor and was joking with a trust attorney about water boarding early this afternoon. God know how and when each of us will be born as well as how, when and where each of us will die. Some days are tougher than others, this has been a very challenging day since I woke up. Mya God bless you and every other infantryman who reads this post.
