I got the privilege of taking him on an incentive ride. Long story short.. I let him fly his jet for most of the sortie. The best part was our assigned area had a solid undercast 2k' above the floor. Towards the end, I split-essed down in a corner right to the top of the overcast and told Chief xxx "Aiight chief. You got 20 miles to drive this mama and dodge the clouds." (If you've never flown a plane, the most fun you'll ever have is flying about 20' above the ground. In this case, the chief was flying 20' above the undercast.) It was a blast.

I'd say there might be 47% of the active military who duck when the flag is retired, but that's OK. The other 53% take care of bidness. After all, 53% productivity in a govt operation is pretty damn good for a govt operation.

I could care less about DNC and flag ducking. What I care about are the massive amounts of hangers on sucking the government tit in the largest welfare program in the country. I would say that at most 33% of the military could be considered professional, with the other 66% being of varying levels of usefulness ranging from extra duty grass mowers to doing just good enough to avoid mandated physical labor.
