So this Air Force General, this Army General and this Marine General are arguing about whose troops are the bravest.
To prove his point, the Air Force General calls over an Airman who is walking by and says "Airman... I want you to go up to the top of that control tower and jump off it."
The Airman salutes, double times to the top of the control tower and jumps off... dying a horrible death.
"See," says the Air Force General. "That's Bravery."
The Army General, not to be outdone... calls over a passing GI and says "Specialist, you see that parachute jump training tower? I want you to go to the top of it and jump off."
The specialist salutes, double times to the top of the jump tower and jumps off... dying a horrible death.
"See," says the Army General. "That's real bravery."
The Marine general, after watching this... calls over a Marine who is walking by and says "Lance Corporal... you see that radio aerial over there? The 300-foot tall one? I want you to climb to the top of it and jump off."
The Lance Corporal looks at the General, salutes and says: "Well now, you can just go fuck yourself, sir."
"And that, Gentleman," says the Marine General... "Is real bravery."
