Reply #91: Oh, it's a stereotype alright [View All]

Any time you assume someone has any sort of "mindset" based on their profession, you are applying a stereotype. And a rather bigotted one at that.

Do you honestly think those of us with military careers only know how to accomplish things with combat? Think we duke it out for command billets? Maybe we swagger in to civilian offices and threaten to beat up anyone who doesn't give us what we want for our units or our operations? Or that we make our kids and spouses low-crawl with a bayonet between their teeth to the base schools and hospitals?

Military officers are just as varied in the way we function and view the world and in our hopes and aspirations and beliefs as any other group of individuals. There is no such thing as a military mindset.
