25. What Tripe
"Check their branch creeds and ethos'"

Sorry those creeds and ethos' don't mean squat anymore, or aren't you familiar with names like Abu Ghraib, Mumadiya, or Haditha.

As for the USAF and USN being warriors, that's a pant load. Certain units may be called warriors, like the SEALS or SAR, even fighter and bomber pilots, but it's not a definition that can be applied to all members of those services.

Definition of Warrior:

According to the Random House Dictionary, the term warrior has two meanings. The first literal use refers to "a person engaged or experienced in warfare." The second figurative use refers to "a person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness, as in politics or athletics."
