There have been many excellent career soldiers.

However, guys, when you were in the service, how many overweight, lazy, and worthless lifer E-6's and E-7's did you come across? I can remember SFC McMahon, SSG Mosher, and SSG Digby among others. Those slobs should have been booted out of the Army instead of taking up space and monetary resources that could have been used on assets instead of liabilities.

I remember my brother-in-law, a career Air Force man, telling me that the AF would not retain all who wanted to re-enlist. This was 20 years ago or more.
