Right and right.
The DU idiocy in many instances clearly goes to military matters as well.
I think it explains the rush (think reporters running into phone booths in Airplane!) to call every military engagement a failure or quagmire as soon as the press can get away with it as well. You can't spend 99% of your time fearing/hating/feeling just a little bit inferior to/ the military and then expect to have the first clue about how it works when the need arises.

Hey, maybe you are on to something here: they ARE truly jealous of those who actually did serve . . .
