They're easy to spot anyhow...they were usually a SEAL, Ranger, etc. and saved some General in a hail of gunfire and got three purple hearts that day along with a silver star and a nomination for the MOH. Ever notice how the loud guy at the end of the bar was never a cook? I seem to remember cooks on the boat, stateside, in Iraq, in Afganistan,...I guess Mess Specialists don't drink.
Reminds me of a story I read about a club in Jo'burg, RSA that was frequented by Rhodies after 1980 -- The MC began the evening by asking how many Rhodesians were the audience, which was met with thunderous applause -- he then said, "How many of you were NOT Selous Scouts?"

Of course he didn't ask how many had served with the RLI, SAS, etc.
