i.e. my brother was a smartass and I pity any of the low ranking fools who had to work under him. Getting a straight answer out of him was like pulling teeth. If he had served in combat he would surely have been fragged by his own men.
Military training?

Well, the army is infamous for fragging their officers, that's why they lose all their battles, they have no code of honor.
We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

My commander came back with 378 holes in his warthog from Desert Storm
The pilots are encircled by titanium armor that also protects parts of the flight-control system. The redundant primary structural sections allow the aircraft to enjoy better survivability during close air support than did previous aircraft. The aircraft can survive direct hits from armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles up to 23mm. Their self-sealing fuel cells are protected by internal and external foam. Their redundant hydraulic flight-control systems are backed up by manual systems. This permits pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power is lost.

Ummm..the corps has built an undeserved reputation killing under equipped and untrained brown people. The Army has faced and eventually defeated, albeit with many setbacks and learning experiences, the best equipped and trained European armies. Hell, the marines have celebrated beating the crap out of poorly equipped, lead, and trained third world countries in their anthem...killing Mexicans and some Barbary pirates...really...
That's why the Army has done all the real fighting and war winning; Without the Army you would still be living under the commonwealth. No rational person, looking at the evidence, could come to the conclusions you reach. It's unfortunate you will force your delusional views on your students as opposed to teaching rational thought as the basis for every argument and rewarded on exams.
Nice, but my brother was in the Navy and wasn't an officer.
Oh sorry! I dig them bell bottom boys though. I always thought it rather amusing when we would be doing PT in the Hanger Bay watching the Boatswain's Mates painting the side of the ship when it was going 25 knots.
