So you are claiming your dad is typical of all enlisted men? I don't think so. That would be why he was in HQ.
I find it very disconcerting that anyone would cite one exception as proof of a trend. if true, then video games have caused massive increase in murders, car thefts, and overall mayhem. After all, a single example in the local gossip news proved it to be true. An exception does not prove anything other than an exception exists.
You have not yet represented by example what I posted IF you did not example every one of 1 million enlisted men - and show me the volumes of history and strategy that each has read. Most enlisted men would not learn why, for example, the smoking gun is essential to justify war. Technicians need not understand the bigger picture.
Again, be very careful with what I posted verses what you have just read. I did not say all technicians remain that ill informed. I said - and read it carefully "Technicians need not understand the bigger picture". Some might even regard an understanding of that bigger picture determental to their own health and safety.
Lookout123's posts concerning this are nothing more than cheap shots. He perverts what I posted. I did not say all enlisted men are dumb. So Lookout123 does a Rush Limbaugh trick. He phrases a challenge to pervert what I said. Its classic propaganda. He says things I did not say. Don't fall for how he intentionally misrepresents what I had posted. He would even pervert what I posted into "every officer is always more intelligent than every enlisted man". Obviously I did not say that. And yet that is what Lookout123 wants you to believe.
