Wearing the uniform doesn't automatically entitle anyone to respect. I hate to break this to you, but the enlisted folks saluted you because it was regulation and you were an officer...not because they respected you. And with your attitude I doubt it was often more than a regulation salute.

Actually I was refering the time since I got out and NOT have worn the uniform. If you do NOT have the knowledge or experience of a servicemans respect for another regardless of rank ... my opinion is even more reinforced ....

As far as respect on this thread .. I will submit to you ...SONNY that there is precious little for you.

But that is what you really seeking ... isn't it ... that low opinion of you held by others only confirms the opinion that you have for yourself ... isn't it? Self verification is a powerful urge

I would hate to live in a world filled with anger and self contempt ... such as yours

Again, respect is earned. It isn't issued with the uniform and it isn't a symbol of rank. As for being held in low opinion on this thread...THANK YOU LORD!

Knowing that you folks have no respect for me is gratifying and mutual. And don't waste your concern on my world...I actually enjoy the society I live in. Seems you folks don't enjoy that society much though.
