Well it wasn't me that asked for him to be banned! I argue with him a fair bit but I wouldn't suggest we try to stifle debate.
Seeing as it's been raised again though, this 'military mentality' thing comes across as really quite insulting to those of us who've spent a considerable portion of our working lives there, and despite all disclaimers, it serves to tar us all with the same brush. It's also a bit of a smokescreen, because the argument about what's wrong with CASA then stops at 'it's run by ex-RAAFies and therefore we're all stuffed.'
If you throw enough crap it sticks, and to see every second post about what's wrong with aviation in Australia being linked to the military keeps reinforcing the stereotype. As has been said, and as I hope everyone sees, pig-headedness is not limited to the services.
