I suppose I should also state that there's no confusion, that my father is a career enlisted soldier, not an Officer, so albeit there is a difference there from the original proposed question, but I feel as though that isn't too far off the mark for the advice he gave to still be valuable.
And sure, I know he likes to be idyllic, but I think he has made a valued point. Just because you don't respect somebody as a person, or even as a leader, doesn't mean you don't have respect for the rank. And even more than that, a respect for the service in which you serve.
But just to reiterate the original post was his words not mine, this one however is all me and my interpretation of that.
I'll leave the rest of you to your discussion now.
