Something not right...
I agree, and I suggest that the 'Something not right...' is that too many employers have no experience of, or know no-one with experience of, Service life and values. On the contrary, too many perhaps have been weened on the Peaceniks' agenda of being 'against war' and those whose duty it is to conduct it.
Leaving the RAF after a mere 13+ years, the culture shock that I experienced was not helped by being accused of being a mercenary and a hired killer by a couple who were friends of friends. That they were both teachers was purely incidental I guess...anyway, that was way back in the 70's, so it's quite different today I guess, isn't it? Isn't it?
