“You had better be at attention when addressing an E-9.”

Since the military went PC a few decades ago there is little to respect of a person that had to play politics versus playing soldier and earning respect to gain such rank.

That's the truth. I used to have soldiers that had so much respect for the SR NCOs, but too many call E-9s by their first name now. I am from the old school, and use their proper title, both officer and enlisted.
