The point of the thread was to ask a valid question....... And to see how much tension there really is between civvy an mil pilots. Think both questions have been answered quite well.
It's a shame civvy and mil pilots don't get on better. Perhaps there is a strong tendancy for pilots to respect other pilots more when they have a similar background to themselves. To the extent that they degenerate into a pompous yuppie bitchslapping green-eyed monster when sniffing even the slightest comment that could indirectly degrade their ego.
