What's the first thing that comes in your mind?
The Marines. But then, they're the Philippine Navy.
Tough SOBs. Unloved. Underpaid. Really crappy, dangerous job. Terribly corrupt commanders. Any wonder we've had so many coup d' etats?
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
I was in the DFA awhile ago and saw some soldiers getting their passports, makes me wonder why.
For all its worth, I respect them more than their commanders, I mean the foot soldiers and not the pencil pushers who rose to ranks doing table works.
Given the right equipments, I think we'll be up par or even better than the US Army.
My .02 cents.
hmm bunny why were you at the DFA? by the way...halata ba na di tayo accountants. .02cents would be less than 2 cents. Anyway one question: who was left behind to conduct guerilla warfare against the japanese?
also through adversity comes real strength.
irony lang is that same hardiness is present in our rebels too. harder to fight someone with a cause kasi. diba kaya the US has to rely on heavy firepower? why? do their soldiers believe in their "cause"? more often than not the most dangerous "fighter" is one with a cause.

Heroes.. bilib ako sa doctors, dentist, engineers ng Army(AFP) kasi pwede naman sila mag trabaho ng private pero mas pinili mag serbisyo sa mga mahihirap at syempre sa mga soldiers kasi kahit binabatikos sila ng karamihan satin at halos isumpa sila ay pinoprutektahan parin nila tayo against rebels, goons at minsan sa calamity disasters..IMO! dapat sila ang pinakamalaking sweldo.
