I have a ton of respect for those who serve. Some of the best and brightest we have sacrifice for their country. But the idea that those who serve are infallible is dangerous. There are some really bad people who enlist in the armed forces. And some of them can even become SEALS, which is reserved for the best leaders.

As someone who was enlisted, it's scary to me the idea that you coud not trust fellow soldiers. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #15
