You were and you were the only one. I was talking about enlisted, tho what I said also applies to many junior officers.

Unfortunately, Will didn't anticipate the 4th kind we have today.
The ones that pee their own pants, blame others and expect us to give them dry, clean clothes.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-10-2020).]

Since we're saying totally random things that have nothing to do with the point, did you know that I like ice cream? Really, it's awesome... I love it.

No you don’t.
I know that’s what you want to believe so you can simply dismiss my opinion as emotionally irrational, but that still don’t make it so.
It’s a tired old trick of those that can’t or don’t want to consider anything but the voice already in their head.
It’s completely chickenshlt.
Here, let me try to think of 1 person I hate or have hated in my entire life...nope, not a single one.
And there ain’t a single thing anyone can say or do to make that untrue except me.
The only one that can speak for me is me.
And while you continue to search for new ways to discount my autonomy, keep that in mind.
It’ll save you from looking stupid.

My opinion, this response was irrational. I would very much like to see your reply to the other things I've mentioned... whether you agree, disagree, etc. That's why I responded. I made the assumption that you were in the right mind to possibly have a discussion... but you're quickly convincing me that you don't have substance for your views. I would prefer to be wrong, and would appreciate discussion.
