Reply #6: thanks for your informed response

and also thanks for your service. I have never been in the military (Thank God - they abolished the draft in 1972 - the year I became eligible), but I've got thirty years in the workplace, which can be very unfair and darwinistic.

Personally, I think America is in the mess it's in, in part because current corporate leaders get their management positions by self-promotion and genuflection. It has got to be brown-nosing squared in the extremely hierarchal military!
