Since I have been on the forum I have noticed an edge to your posts about officers...but not enlisted...and having lived the Air Force life and twice lived on Army installations...and spent three years with the OJCS, flying with the National Airborne Command Post and living side by side with other service officers, I can understand. I have noticed a real element, to differing degrees, of careerism in the military, and frankly some forget why they are there in the first place. Careerism occurs at differing levels, among the different services, period. You may not have realized it, but your disdain for those "career first" and "I am the best thing since sliced bread" officers has crept into your posts on occasion over the years. Just my observations.
