Well I am going to add in here a little bit. I was attending a memorial for one of ours who died a while ago.
At the church I have never in my life heard so much fowl language being used. It seemed as If I was in the field practicing section attacks or what not.
As I looked around I noticed it was more then the new privates, it was the WO's Sgt's, Cpls and Ptes.
Although they may not have been regular church people as I am neither, the level of respect not only for the church but the one who died should have been there.
To me it is a epedemic with in the system. Poor leadership and lack of discipline and true military values has lead us down this road. The changing of leadership courses to be management courses, all the being nice and friendly to persons has taken it's toll on us.
I once remember a Sgt Major whom put most to shame when it came to the F word. We were waiting in line for fast food, one of the other older guys said the F word once the Sgt Major shot that look that only they can have and then in one of those bone chilling voices, watch your language there are women and children folk amongst us.
That older Cpl was the duty guy for the weekend.
