yes straight and level is straight and level, but there is a whole lot more these guys will be missing out from.
on the flip side, perhaps the civilian way is more current in its thinking? probably more embracing of CRM concepts, I dont know, pure speculation on my side. But I was surprised and saddened by it non the less.
