Well geez, what else is new? Benedict Arnold had a big chip on his shoulder about not being promoted during his wartime service. History doesn't look at that chap very well today either. Walk into any office, construction site, military base etc..and you'll hear the same complaints. "The idiots are in charge", "Why was that idiot promoted instead of me?", "Our Dept. doesn't get enough money, so we don't have enough computers and man power..." etc... same crap different smell.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better--

It's a different complaint: black berets for everyone (made in China), Lowered physical standards for younger soldiers, The On-again/Off-again Crusader, Consideration Of Others Training, 'Peace-making', 'Mountain Divisions' that don't train in the mountains, 'Power-Point' Rangers, Don't ask, don't tell, moving the M-60 to company level support and the SAW to platoon level, a de-emphasis on marksmanship, suffocating safety regulation, off-limits areas due to 'endangered plants', No armor support in Somalia, Op plans in Afghanistan nixed because of 'risk', lawyers calling the shots on engagements... Shall I go on?
