I staunchly defend the military as an institution. Having said that, I agree that many folks at all levels of the uniformed hierarchy are greater liabilities than they are assets. Whenever I visit my local installation, I am appalled at what I see and can only hope that they are at least proficient in their MOS. Conversely, I see a lot of folks from all the services who exude a magnificent professional demeanor.
When you reflect upon it, I suspect you cannot name any private or public institution that does not have its share of assholes.
Time to descend from the soap box.
Be safe and healthy.
Once again, I agree with you. Good luck, sir. Semper Fi
