    It’s obviously sleazy but I’m glad the soldier didn’t get made an example of.

      See, the thing is, this happens a lot. Some E-nothing corrects a flag officer and will get an extra cookie or spot promoted, but then for the rest of their contract they get fucked out of preferred orders, put on extra duty, or some other bullshit. I’ve seen it too many times. This dude is gunna get his.

      The only positive is that the tomb guard is often a twilight tour, however, they’re constantly undermanned due to no one being able to or willing to go thru their hazing, I mean, training pipeline. So the dude already hates his life. This award means nothing to him.

      Source, me. I used to work in ANC doing funerals and knew a few of them. Even went into their quarters under the tomb a few times, shit is its own tomb down there.
