California school teacher and elected city politician’s words in class. We’ve heard similar sentiments from liberals like John Kerry and Stephen King. Never in this open and graphic manner.
Pico Rivera teacher's remarks about military spark backlash
I'm so glad to watch liberals have to or want to defend this unsurprising behavior.

I wonder what they will do to defame, trash, threaten and harm the student.

if the basic qualification of an officer is a bachelors, why not make NCOs who were able to acquire Bachelors or Master be an officer also?

Anyone is free to try to become an officer, but having a degree is only part of it.

Military people themselves are sacrificing their lives to protect the country. Many join in order to get their lives together and on track.

Now, as for the global corporatist politicians who manufacture wars and throw our soldiers lives away just to get rich? *Those* creatures are the lowest of the low.

a sgt major required to have a masters degree with 20 years in service is saluting a freshly minted 2nd lieutenant with just bachelors degree?


something is wrong in the requirements for these positions

we have that option...and some do...I had a friend made it up to E8 (First Sergeant) then went to the officer side of the house (made it to Major (O4) before mandatory retirement date)....some go warrant officer.....some like myself choose to stay enlisted....

yes we will salute them...its the position...we also guide and advise them to be better officers

so are you saying that in the civilian side, if you get a new general manager, and he/she is younger and has less education, that you should disrespect them???? I would think you would not have a job for much longer if you did

As I previously posted, anyone can apply to be an officer candidate. You make no sense whatsoever. It’s like you are saying the new lieutenant has no merit or relevance because of the way and age he received his commission. That is not the way it works.

am not saying that, my point is, the 2nd Lt position is still higher in the hierarchy and yet the education qualification of the sgt major is higher?
