Here's on for my Army battle buddies. Tell me your thoughts?

Army General, Air Force General, Marine General, and a Navy Admiral were standing in front of a rappelling tower. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."

"Ha!" said Navy, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."

The Navy Admiral calls a Sailor over from the tower. He tells the seaman, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the seaman yells and proceeds to climb the tower. He walks to the edge, yells "Hooyah!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.

"That's nothing," the Air Force General said, bored. He calls a Senior Airman over. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."

"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.

"Hmmph," the Marine growled. "Ya'll obviously forget the Marine Corps were here," he said (yelling "Marine Corps!" as all Marines tend to do.)

He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"

The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Pancho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping treetops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.

The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Army General says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the General, their faces in disbelief. The General calls a Private over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower- no rope, no parachute."

The Private looks the General in the face and says, "Screw you! You kiss my *** first!" and walks off.

The Army General turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"
