Condolences regarding your nephew Mustng59.

Someone above your post (usmcobra) mentioned the officers were sleeping in the foxholes because that's where their men were sleeping. THAT is why I have absolute respect for Marine leaders. There is nothing they ask of their men and women that they themselves aren't willing to, or haven't already gone through.

Friendly sniping amongst services aside, it doesn't matter who flies these UAVs. As long as they are where they need to be when they're needed, it could be contractors for all I care.

“Someone above your post (usmcobra) mentioned the officers were sleeping in the foxholes because that’s where their men were sleeping. THAT is why I have absolute respect for Marine leaders.”

And that is also why I would classify them as leaders, which to me is a rank above officer.
