I hate to say that he asked for it.

Look, there's nothing wrong with the job he did. Someone has to do it.

The problem is thinking that his service was superior to that of another veteran who achieved a higher rank and devoted more years to it.

It's like the people who sneer at the REMFs. Well, bud, if it weren't for the people behind you, you'd be out there in the field with broken comm units, and without your field rations or ammo to shoot down a meal. Hope you enjoy the dysentery when you don't get your Chlor-Floc packs.
