A civil service attitude is a good way to put it. I've seen guys that joined the reserves for the college money and only having to do their job one weekend a month. Then they cry and try to get out of service when a national emergency happens and (gasp!) they're activated. It's unacceptable behavior and these disgruntled people go do stupid things like blindsiding their bosses in public and "accidentally" get caught taking pictures of prisoners with panties on their heads.
It's always been like that in a combat zpne.Our soldiers & sailors can never be assured of 100 % safety.
My brother beefed up a jeep with metal from a scrap yard in Vietnam in 1971.
Rode in choppers sitting on his amored vest.
You are never prepared for a war.
