@sneakypete he doesn't seem to realize that we call out the Feather Merchants and the TOC Roaches within our ranks just as much as we praise the hard chargers and the body stackers.
@txradioguy You are right.Unlike us,he has obviously never been in a position where truth is everything,and spin in BS that if you are very,very lucky,will only get you hurt.
I am and have always been outspoken,and this included my time in the army. I never once got into any sort of trouble whatsoever for speaking my mind when asked my opinion,or for giving my opinion when I heard or saw something I thought to be wrong.
NOT EVEN ONCE,and not even when *I* was the one that was wrong.
Then again,I was lucky enough to served in a combat arms branch where all anybody cares about is the end result,which is doing the job tasked with the least amount of loss possible.
