Grunts and fishead is a bit out of date now, there is no actual proof that any 3 of the services has the jump on intellect over another. If need be any serviceman could command the correct decision with training and ability - the colour of the headdress is wholly irrelevant. There seems to be a knee jerk reaction trying to 'dis' or justify the probable; JHC a point in case.
If we are of the same level, our wage packets look very similar. Ethos is great but not if it impinges on efficiency.
