The way I was told it, was the most dangerous thing in the world is a butter bar Lt. trying to impress the command. And “Mustangs” tend to make the best officers. Audie Murphy,Chesty Puller and Herman Hanneken were Mustangs. Not that there aren't good West Pointers and Annapolis grads. Or for that matter, there are some good 90 day wonders. But it wouldn't hurt for an officer to see what it is like to be an enlisted man.
