I knew the POS when he was a first lieutenant, serving in the INF Treaty inspectors. He was an intel officer, a wannabe, that somehow got a Marine commission. I doubt that he was ever in a line unit. I could never figure out why we had him as a very junior officer back then when most of the INF inspectors were field grade officers. He was always beggging and whinning to the colonels to let him go on an inspection visit in the USSR.

Most folks who never served a day in the brotherhood don't realize that the service is a lot like real life: there are pissants, MFs, smucks, lifers, POS and whatnot the same as there is in Congress. Some think that if a guy was a Marine, he must know what he is talking about. There are Marines I served with that I would want on my flank if the balloon went up, but I wouldn't give 2 cents for their political views or their opinions on most of anything.
