2loud,
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I know I'm not a "ham-fisted loser" for having a career in the Navy before I started with the airlines. Maybe you saw the "writing on the wall" and left before being hammered by the promotion boards. Or maybe you just don't care about the health of our military long-term. In either case, don't disparage the conduct of those who made a career (or tried) by denigrating their flying skills.
