I say we show even more respect and capitalize all of the letters. SOLDIER. Even better, it should be a requirement that SOLDIER is written in a larger font than other words. With today's advanced PowerPoint Technology Partnership (tm), that is not an impossible task. I think the capitalization of Soldier is a typical half-job by military leadership.

SOLDIER.

Even better, it should be a requirement that SOLDIER is written in a larger font than other words.

What really ticks me off, however, is the power some people in the military think they have, based on their rank. Granted, there are times I cop that attitude, but I'd like to think it's only in the context of my military authority INSIDE the military community. Assuming I ever become a GO (which basically assumes the end of civilization as we know it), I will issue a ball-pean hammer to my driver. If I say something he doesn't understand or thinks is really stupid, I am going to order him to hit me in the forehead with the hammer. That way I will have a common sense check on my ego. Napoleon (another short, nasty artillery officer) would have a corporal follow him around. If he issued an order that the corporal didn't understand, he would re-write the order until the corporal understood it. The capitalization of "Families" and "Soldiers" is the triumph of form over substance. But in an Amerika that elects a vacuous demagogue for President, what else would you expect?

What the hell is that? The banners would be unnecessary if the Army were actually taking care of families. Everyone would know it. Once again, I refer to the Camp Casey housing office fiasco. Why do I have Soldiers Wives asking my wife for help with landlords. Because the housing office here cannot and will not help the soldier. They are on the landlords side. Go there and ask to see the "off-limits" list... Somehow I bet there are some tee times involved here, if not outright white envelope transfers. Want to make a covenant? Want to show respect for the Soldiers? Clean crap like THAT up. :twisted: I keep seeing banners advertising "The Army Family covenant". What the hell is that?

Just off the top of my head, there are Soldiers in Area I who are getting screwed by their crooked landlords - left and right. They turn to the housing office staffed by Koreans and guess what happens? Nothing. No help there. How freaking sad. :twisted: One synapse wasted for 1 second is too much on a silly issue like that.
