Tom you do realize that your admonition about our views being reflective of our own experience, also pertains to you.
And it is also a fact that people whose identity is based on externalities are protective of those things that comprise their identity.
If I cast aspersions say on Christians, Muslims or Jews, a Christian, Muslim or Jew that reads my comment will experience a heart palpitation, and have a reaction.
A mustang who graduated from a service academy is a rarity, not as you seem to infer a common occurence.
And at best they would have achieved the rank of E-4, because of age. The average age is between 17 and 23, with 23 being the average age of a newly minted 2nd Lt.
I wouldn't consider an officer a mustang, unless they had NCO experience.
Then again I am projecting from personal Experience.
Then there are the Captain George W. Bush who was commissioned a 2d Lt by his father, the governor, upon graduation from basic military (enlisted) training and never even learned the minimum requirement of a commissioned officer.
But our point of disagreement Tom is that you expect more of officers especially 0-7 and above, than I.
And I base my opinon on proven behavior, like Generals Mike and Charles Flynn, and Stanley McChrystal and they are not anomalies at all.
We are two months away from finding out who is correct and who has mud on their face.
So far I am batting 1000 I predicted that Gaetz would withdraw his name from consideration, I also predict that he will be the Speaker of the House in th 119th congress. Trump will sure try and only some unforseen fluke will stop that from happening.
