TO all the Combat soldiers?
Do combat soldiers look down upod people who are in the military but don’t go to combat. my friend was bitched out and he didn’t even say anything and hes an intelligence officer. BAsically, im wondering if combat soldiers like soldiers who dont actually fight only provide support (I.E. Intelligence officers, cooks, administrative personell. etc….)
There will always be those who look down on others no matter what. Many who serve in the infantry act as if the world revolves around them, while many in the infantry do not act this way.
Here is the funny part. Many in the infantry never see any combat and many will never even deploy to a combat zone. So why they think they are better is beyond me.
If you talk crap about what you have "allegedly" been through and have never been through anything other then boot/basic, then you deserve to be slapped.

ones who go to war tend to feel like they are better then the ones who dont leave or if they are in like communications or something… they just feel like they have accomplished something big which they have an dthey want respect and such

Combat soldiers can talk all they want about how big and bad they are, but unless they are complete idiots they will know that without the support MOSs, they would be f*cked. MI takes a lot of heat because intel is sometimes wrong or out of date, cooks can never seem to be good enough for any soldier even though there are some good ones out there, same goes for any support job. Tell your friend to ask these idiot what they would do if every time they went out the gate they walked right into an ambush because they didn’t have his intel, see if that shuts them up. Otherwise, just ignore them, it’s not like the infantry gets the smartest people in the world after all (no insult to the infantry, just the few idiots in it being discussed here).

Yeah, until they need intel, chow, supplies, medical care, etc.
But seriously, there may be some animosity, but with the nature of the current conflict, there are no front lines, and any soldier- infantry or not- can engage and be engages by the enemy.
What we also must understand is the rank structure. Some infantry private better show respect to the sergeant even if the sergeant doesn’t have a combat arms MOS. If your friend is an officer and getting bitched at by an enlistee because of perceived manliness, your friend should have straightened that enlistee out. It’s part of the discipline instilled in soldiers to respect their superiors regardless of MOS.

I think the answer isn’t so much did you go in to combat, but did you ACTUALLY provide support? While I was deployed there would be a lot of people that didn’t the wire, and the ones I did not like were the soldiers who were behind the desk complaining about their job, and giving the ones that leave the wire a hard time, as the air conditioner kept them cool, and they ate three meals at the chow hall, and they got to listen to music, and never wore any heavy gear or put their lives at risk. But if they had a great attitude, and provided helpful support, and took pride in their job, I would never look down on them.

You will see a lot of trash talking in combat arms. We’re trained to know that we’re better than everyone else on the battlefield, and we take it to heart. We’ll go out and run missions while some intel guy is sitting in a air conditioned room going over paperwork. Obviously we’re not gonna be their biggest fan, and obviously we’ll think our job is 100x harder than theirs. Hence they have the easy/lazy job in our eyes.
Plus some non-combat MOSs we consider to be of the utmost use. Mechanics, Supply, and anyone who can make our lives easier.
But downright bitching someone out and blatantly disrespecting them for it isn’t right, and I’ve never seen it tolerated.

There are loads of different corps e.g. Logistics,Tele Comms, H&R, including combat but what is usually the case for the army is that you always get trained to be a soldier 1st all the way from a communication specialist to a chaplain(priest), u always have to be a soldier 1st because you dont know what might happen on operations, but e.g. if you are intelligence officer,cook,ap then your main job will be your title and you will still be helping the soldiers on the ground by what you have been trained to do, which would be your trade training, but remember you always get trained to be a soldier 1st for about 14weeks or so, usually in all the armed forces. but after that you will specialize in your trade and will help the British and US natives and its allies win the war on terror. (ps i might have strayed of the topic a bit but they would’nt look down at you because every trade is a vital part in the armed forces.)

Not really look down but don’t look at them the same. Imagine talking about your hellish day at work with the starbucks clerk. It’s a similar situation. I want my Frappachino but that doesn’t mean I’m going to think I’m on the same level as the clerk. Support is needed and welcome, it’s just not the same thing. Now if a support soldier acts like they have it really rough to a combat soldier then they are probably going to get messed up.

He took the bitching? The officer should have smacked him across the face with an Article.

It’s not that we combat soldiers don’t like non-combat soldiers just for that. I’m a scout and one of my best friends is a JAG Officer. I also have plenty of friends that are mechanics. The problem isn’t that they don’t fight it’s that many of them seem to think they’re the same when the truth is they are not. They don’t take half the risk we do or undergo a quarter of the trials yet they seem to think that there "gentlemen’s courses" and desk jobs qualify them to tell us how operations should be ran as well as thinking they’re intitled to the same school and awards etc. I’m Cav Scout so take the Cavalry Stetson and Spurs for example. I went through a 16 week course (nothing gentlemen about it) learning how to be a reconiessence soldier to earn myself the right to wear all that, yet some fobit is entitled the same rewards without going through any of that just because he’s attached to a Cav Unit. Another thing that makes combat soldiers look down on them is how many of tell BS stories about things they didn’t really do overseas and let people assume that they are combat soldiers without being upfront about what they really do. Not to mention all the ones that somehow got PTSD from paperwork. That being said there are some people that just plain fell they are nothing but civilians that get to wear our uniform. So I guess the short answer would be some do and some don’t.
