Can too much respect be bad?

[AFTT47]

I think the automatic respect given to soldiers in the U.S. is troublesome. People and soldiers should be judged on their merit. While I agree that some of the best people who've given the most to others wore a uniform, I think the vast majority of soldiers are just normal people. Some of them are actually big, fat shitheads.

Yup, a whole lot of them. I used to be one myself (a veteran in the USAF, not a shithead - though that's just like, my opinion, man) so I can confirm your suspicions.

Being in the armed services gives you an OPPORTUNITY to step up and be somebody special but most of us were/are just shitheads who just saw a good job opportunity and took it.
