This utter rubbish about 'ex-military' has really, really run its course. There are
peace time, ex-military
professionals in all walks of life having wrested themselves from the wretched world of status quo, and gone on to make a very good career for themselves, IN NON-GOVERNMENTAL careers. But lets not toss up them as examples.
This constant whinging about ex-military spectres ruining CASA or Airservices is just that, whinging. Constant carping about individuals who happen to be ex-military is feckless and disrespectful, unless you can provide specific examples that illustrate you know that person, and are in a position to provide an objective opinion about their suitability for post.
And, strangely, peacetime ex-military officers are some of the most change resistant of all
Why is this strange? Aren't there libraries dedicated to describing this phenomenom, cataclysmic events precipitated on one individual's refusal to move at other than a glacial pace?
Fatuous generalisations aren't worth the data packet they're sent by.
What is ironic is the way the Australian quote has immediately been applied to dreaded '
ex-military' by the usual suspects rather than acknowledging that resistance to change exists in society at large.
