Then you get into the actual military. It's a bunch of high school kids with responsibility. Good leaders? Rare. Those higher end crazy weird assignments, like SG would have been? Those breed the worst because they usually attract the worst.
"Here, Lippyballscacker will train you on this."
Wait, Lippyballsacker? Wtf?
"Yeah, his supervisor was hanging in the building and remembered he had to pick him up at the last minute from the airport. One guy asked him what the new guy's name was. "I don't know, Lippyballsacker or something." That name stuck." - actual story from my time in aircraft maintenance
When they guy left, he was gloating the name wouldn't follow him. One of the maintenance supervisors had contacts at the new base. The name followed him.
We also had a fuck up who was good at taking tests, so he made rank fast, but was an absolute moron. Didn't realize he had to put his manual truck in gear or set the brake. Always had to repeat lefty loosey every time...out loud. Walked right through an antenna on the bottom of the plane. Didn't skip a step.
They show the military way too organized and disciplined. No. Bunch of blind leading the blind.
