This is exactly the mindset.
“This is exactly the mindset.”
I do understand the mindset. Let’s say you’re a career officer in a position to order every recruiter to carry a side arm. Or, alternatively, you could simply turn a blind eye to armed soldiers or armed civilians. However, you work for a liberal, PC administration and you know that if you do anything other than actively support their liberal fantasies you will be out of your job and possibly cashiered out of the military.
I knew two honorable men in the civilian world who were looking forward to his hard earned pension. Then, with a year or two or three to go your company demands that you do unethical and possibly illegal things, like approve charges by your people to a project they aren’t working on. You either quit, have your career ruined, or do it and take blood pressure and anti-anxiety medication. One manager quit, but he was young enough to start over as a teacher at one third of the salary. The other was too old and medicated himself into almost a catatonic state. When you have a working lifetime invested in something you tend to go along to get along.
