I'd be laughing at it if the title were changed. It's highly offensive, IMO

It's a well deserved slam against rampant PC in the military. Anyone with two functional brain cells could figure that one out. It's not a reflection on those serving in the enlisted or junior officer ranks, but rather those leading as in the Pentagon rank 0-9 and above as well as Civilian D.O.D. leadership of the past 17 years or so.

It's still an offensive title because it's unclear.

Of course, since the newbie poster is semi-literate that's not surprising.

But the title should still be changed to make the point clear and to avoid offending military folks and their families without cause.

JMHO

The purpose of language is communication.

To fail to effectively communicate your point will result in your point being obscured.

It is not the fault of the average receiver to fail to receive a poorly communicated message. It is the fault of the communicator.

To purposefully obfuscate your message with your "style" is a childish affectation for the purpose of aggrandizing yourself.

In other words, cutesy writing "styles" are "ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
