In that regard, I am shameless of my ripoff of the Marines and thier mantra of every Marine a rifleman and every Marine officer a rifle platoon leader.
My corollary to that would be Soldier first, MOS second. And, in my opinion, a Soldier should be able to shoot. Whether you're an 11B in the 75th or an X-Ray technician at Walter Reed.
