When you start to worry is when they stop bitching. That's when something is up.

Soldiers always complain. It is not to my credit that I didn't consider that. It only proves how far away my little ideals are from battleground realities where these men and women are in harm's way -- real, life-or-death situations -- making it possible for people like me to sit around and spin idealistic dictums about how and what they should or shouldn't complain about.
