You don't give a monkey's what a bunch of retired old farts on an internet website say.

You're proud to go into work each day because you feel the job you do is a million times more worthwhile than any of your civvy friends.

You're not bitter because you weren't promoted to whatever level your ego thought you had earned.

You know that the capability your sqn can deploy is at least ten times that than was possible a couple of decades ago.
You are very naive or you have only been in 5 minutes and not had your pension messed with, your pay frozen (pay cut when you include inflation), allowances removed, seen resources and manpower cut to a fraction it was when you joined.
