25. Goodness knows, the Navy made me anti-establishment
Once the constant brain washing and high hopes of boot camp wore off and I saw that the military leaders didn't live up to the 'family" rhetoric' they liked to spout all the time... my disillusionment didn't take long to set in.

Nor was I an unsual case.

I have seen soldiers driven to suicide by thier COs and the brass was more concerned about keepign thier pretty image looking good.

While I feel for the soldiers and wan them treated better, i have nothing but contempt for your average military leader.
