No Dick, and you've got a tin-ear.
You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how little influence the military has unless the position is backed up with facts and is argued cogently.
The military gets 'no special consideration.' It must put its case to the regulator, just like everyone else.
Maybe the military is just better than you in crafting a legitimate argument that's free from emotion.
Dick; as a private individual, you have the luxury of having a spray that's sometimes devoid of fact and based more on emotion - that's your privilege. The military does not have recourse to 'opinion' to push any case.
Hard arguments and hard facts Dick. Sprays don't work in the big sand-pit.
