As anyone that understands security knows, military /= security.
1. Yes, I know that view won't be popular on a US-dominated board where US culture kneejerks to unthinking deference for all things US military, but that's my professional opinion of the US military overall after 20+ years interacting with it at all levels all over the world. If you don't like that opinion then tough luck. It is, after all, just another opinion. Feel free to ignore it.
Wow. Just wow. I'm so glad to know your opinion of me and my colleagues. And my two brothers. And my father, gone now for eight years and laid to rest at Arlington.
We're not all idiots and mindless morons, regardless of your personal experience.
And if you don't like that
fact, you can ignore it as well. Sorry, had to say it.
Sadly, Schmurr's assertions about sexual assault are pretty much dead on.
