SSSEOWTF,
Good arguments and whilst I don't disagree with your thought process my choice is still the C.
I do completely agree that we need strong leadership (not rules - but you can't stop the crabs making more rules given half the opportunity) to stop 'Top Hook' and 'Top Ten' patches appearing in Joint Force Lightning II. I have always found it funny how you never see a 'Top of the combat ladder' patch with the USN or 'Quite good BVR, not bad CEP' patch. (I dared to suggest once that 'the patch' (Topgun) was no more than our AWIs wearing a patch...and got looked at like I was from Mars.)
The again we are talking about the bunch who go to 'attention to award' and give people medals for going about their day to day business.
May be there is a direct parallel and the USMC award a 'top VL' for a cruise...not something we ever felt the need for!
Hope all well, Orca.
