March or Die!

That's the Angel Company motto.  And I fucking love this.  It means suck it up and drive on.  Nut up or shut up.   Don't back down.  Never give up.  Be a man.  Grow a pair.  Unfortunately, while this should be a matter of course in the military to simply act this way, it is a quality that is sorely lacking in the ranks.  It seems that kissing ass, pointing fingers, and taking care of number one are becoming the norm and it makes me fucking ill.  What the hell happened to the Army values and taking your enlistment oath to heart?  Is pussydom and buddy fucking what we should expect to see in the Army now?  This is especially upsetting to see in the Corps of NCOs who job is to take care of soldiers.  In care you've fucking forgotten, here's the NCO creed:

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Army". I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind -- accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.
Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!

"My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind -- accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers."  Accomplishing the mission means that if it isn't getting done and needs to be done, it IS your fucking job!!  Don't point the finger at someone else and become a whiny bitch.  And don't try sayin, "It's not my job. . . "  Just fucking do it.  Your job is whatever it takes to accomplish whatever the mission may be and that may require that you do things that aren't typically in your job description!  That's what being an NCO means: doing whatever the fuck it takes to get shit taken care of.  An NCO's job is the mission and whatever that may entail. 

And the other part of an NCO's job is taking care of your boys.  You don't fuck them in the ass or try to make them your bitch.   You fucking take care of them and their families.  If that means a 2AM run to the local bar to give them a ride home or just fucking listening to them when they have a problem, then guess what?  That's part of your job!  Quick being an ass-licking, pussy bitch and March or Die! 

Now, granted I'm just an Army wife.  Maybe I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground, but in my opinion, if NCOs would actually take the fucking initiative to 1. do whatever they had to to accomplish the mission and 2. take care of their boys, the Army would have a lot less issues.
