An Army General, a Marine General and a Navy Admiral are all sitting around
discussing whose's service is better and whose troops are more braver.
The Admiral (well into his second or third ice tea) announces to the group,
" My SEALS are the BEST in the world and to prove it I'll have one do the
impossiple" as he raeches for the phone.
Well the other two commanders are in an uproar and each one promply calls for
his best soldier.
When all three representives have arrived, the Admiral states "Since it
was my idea, I'm first" and turning to the SEAL, he says " I want
you to go down that cliff, swim across those 10 miles of shark infested waters,
climb up that shear cliff and return with with 2 bird eggs... unbroken of course.".
The SEAL (being the highly trained soldier that he is) turned runnig towards
the cliff.
After performing a triple-linddy into the water, the SEAL swam across the 10
miles (all the while beating off sharks with his bare hands) and reaching the
far cliff, he began climbing.
Near the top of the cliff, he grabs the two eggs and starts back down (all the
time, fighting off mean birds). Upon reaching the sea he swims back across (once
again fighting off sharks) and climbs back up the first cliff. He then runs
back over to the Admiral and hands him the 2 unbroken eggs.
The Marine General says "that wasn't nothing",and turning to the Force
Recon Marine he says " I want you to go down that cliff, swim across those
waters, climb that other cliff,then move across the 4 miles of unmapped jungle
and bring me back 2 eggs from the mountain on the other side of the jungle."
And with that the Force Recon moved-out. Traveling down the cliff, swimming
across the sea, climbing the far cliff, moving through the jungle and upon reaching
the 2 eggs, he heads back (all the while fighting off lions, tigers, bears,
sharks, and mean birds).Finally reaching the General, the Marine hands him the
eggs.
The Army General then says" Very nice gentlemen, but heres true bravery"
and turning towards his BEST (an Airborne Infantryman), he says " I want
you to go down that cliff, across that sea, up the far cliff, thru the 4 miles
of unmapped jungle, over the mountain and bring me back 2 eggs from the forest
on the other side".
The Paratrooper looks at the General, then the cliff, and again back to the
General, where he says "SCREW YOU SIR!", renders a proper hand salute
and walks away.
The Genertal turn towards the other two (both with their jaws on the table)
and says" Now gentlemen, thats BRAVERY....
