New Let's hear it from the Ivory Tower!
By most measures, they're not the brightest bulbs in the marqee. But most of them have a basic notion of right and wrong. That's better than can be said for a lot of people. Especially in the public sector.
Okay, this is where academics (Marlowe) and real world experience (Brandioch) conflict.

I've been there. I was one.

What is up with you people? You think "military" is a different species?

These people are just like everyone else. They ARE everyone else.

Except they joined the military.

There is NOTHING that makes them special or honest or intelligent or ANYTHING different from any other citizen.

New Well, I sometimes think you're a different species.
Or maybe Gomer Pyle's dark side.

New Poor baby.
Just because the real world doesn't match with your book fantasies.

:(

That's the problem with you ivory tower academics. You get so upset when the real world doesn't match your dreams of how it should be.
