This is true of the rank and file military....but when you get to about the rank of Lt Colonel and they start thinking about civillian DoD jobs or federal contracts this mindset changes in direct proportion as they gain rank. By the time a soldier has a star on his chest he is about as corrupt, in general, as any politician in Washington....

There is largely a lot of truth in this; but even with politicians in D.C. there are exceptions. In the DOD there are even more exceptions when it comes to generals and corruption if you ask me. To stick around that long and play the game of "making rank" definitely changes you a bit. I think a lot of these guys are just interested in serving the people of this great country, but there are some who are interested in serving themselves and their interests.
