An Navy admiral, an Army general, a Marine general, and an Air Force general were walking around base one morning with their aides. They were having an argument over whose men were the bravest men in the armed forces. When they were near the docks, the Navy man said, "I'll prove the Navy has the bravest men. Son," he said to his aide, "I want you to catch the anchor of this battleship as it docks." "Yes, sir!" replied the aide. He promptly dove into the water and was killed as the battleship's anchor fell on top of him. "Now that, Generals, is courage," the admiral said proudly. "That's nothing," said the Army general as they walked over towards the motorpool. Turning to his aide he said, "Lieutenant, I want you to stop that tank with your bare hands." "Yes, sir!" the man replied bravely, and ran over to the tank and was promptly trampled. "Now that, gentlemen; that takes guts." The Marine general shakes his head as they near the firing range and says to his aide, "Son, I want you to stop those bullets." "Yes, sir!" The Marine ran out onto the firing range without a second thought and was shot about 50 times. The general turned to the others and said "That, gentlemen, was the bravest man I've ever seen." The Air Force general said, "That's nothing," and they headed over to the landing strip. The general turned to his aide and said "Lieutenant, see that F-15 that's about to land?" "Yes, sir!" "Son, I want you to go catch that plane as it lands." The lieutenant looks at the F-15, then turns back to the general and says "Fuck you, sir, I'm not going to try to catch a fucking F-15." The general looks at the others and says, "Now that, gentleman, is a brave man."
