This thread is a great read ! I came across so many pompous buffoons (despite being somewhat outdated it's still the best term for them), I think I had a form of PTSD for about 18 months after discharge and instantly pigeon holed any well spoken bod as a d**khead. It wasn't until I left for Nigeria that I realised some of them knew their onions.
Old school tie, rich parents trying to occupy their intellectually disappointing son, offspring of VSOs relying on Daddy's rep etc. Encountered many in my time.
