If those UAV-assigned guys were that averse, they could have SIE'd and taken their chances. Apparently they decided not to do that.

Sure, it sucked. Leadership generally sucked, especially on the O-5/6 and above level. Deployments sucked, my airframe sucked, pretty much everything other than my buds sucked.

But I signed on the dotted line, and I was not entitled to anything more from the AF than my paycheck and associated benefits.

This ridiculous sense of entitlement must be a generational thing. Enough already.
Ditto... well said.
