As a retired Army First Sergeant I don't think I would fit in any more. I got the impression this was coming when I retired after Gulf War '91

Well the Army may find out that "being polite" is not the way to train warriors.
The enemy sure won't be polite. LOL
And God help them if this latest bunch of recruits are ever captured in war by the enemy.

Semper Fi,
Kelly
