You said “Having clearly demonstrated your lack of understanding of military personnel and the chain of command”

First, you don’t clearly understand our new brave world of PC. Second, after 11 years in the Air Force and Marine Corps as both enlisted and civil service, I know exactly how the system works. Furthermore, I know how the chain of command is supposed to work but more importantly, I know how it works...and that is the basis of my statement.

First, you don’t clearly understand our new brave world of PC.

This may very well be the crux of our differing opinions. I've been out of the Army for a very long time. My son, now in the Navy, tells it like you do.

I'm sorry you guys missed the "old ways", but thank you profusely for your service!
