(48,971 posts)who don't have Mattis's conscience and integrity, and who will see this time as an opportunity to further their careers if other officers aren't willing to go along with Trump's insane whims, authoritarian tendencies, and treasonous statements and actions.

(9,291 posts)the officer ranks are always padding their resume for their civilian follow up position.
Maybe, the lower officer ranks might care about those young people but I'm happy my kids got out of the service in time.

(12,858 posts)I heard this as an undergrad and as a grad student (2 different universities).
In fact, this was a reason they were studying engineering.
When I was in jr high and high school in the 50s, we were constantly being told that there was a major shortage of engineers in the US. So everyone (no girls need apply, of course!) should consider engineering as a possibility.
