I am a veteran and I’m not mocking myself. I have had relatives serve in time of war, and I’m not mocking them either.
Then quit labeling us cannon fodder, it mocks us and insults our nation.
We have fought that see their people as nothing cannon fodder.
To get back to the topic, this seems weird “For years, the Army allowed some aviation officers to serve those three years concurrently, and not consecutively, along with their roughly contracted seven or eight years of service.”
They had a certain number of years to serve and the Aviation request was supposed to be in addition to it, but they have been sliding?
