LOL. I remember a similar exchange between myself and a One Star in regard to the War on Drugs. It raised a couple eyebrows. I was never meant to be a career officer anyway. We used to say, “Never trust anyone above the rank of Major”. I guess that was why I didn’t go any further.

I'd go one step lower, no to trust anyone above Captain.
