We will likely still be Majors, passed over twice, sitting in dimly-lit offices in the basement of the pentagon, with longer than regulation haircuts, rumpled uniforms, unkempt mustaches and a bottle of scotch in the bottom right-hand drawer of our desks. We will be the most powerful men in the Army because we will be Majors getting ready to retire with nothing to lose by telling you exactly what we think, consequences be damned…We will be the most dangerous men in the Army.

Sounds like a few officers in my department. Super-annuated career cops who are "short" till retirement, passed over for sergeant multiple times. They don't give a damn, and nobody dares mess with them because they will "set you straight" about the department, and how it really works if you piss 'em off.
