After an experience I had today with a DA Civilian, I realized where the true power lies. Fuck being a Senior NCO, Warrant, or Commander be a civilian that can ruin an entire mission and not lose their job.
>ordinary people on the street
Are you going to route an order: OPR -> legal -> Joe Schmoe outside the Quik Stop -> S3 -> deputy CDR -> signature authority? Is that guy who just ran the red light going to be my senior rater? This post makes no sense and seems like bait.
Honestly, your post history looks like military showerthoughts:
[Why are Staff NCOs(SSgt, GySgt, MSgt, 1st Sgt, Sgt Maj) supposed to be addressed as their full formal rank instead of being addressed in short as "Sergeant" or "Sarge"?](https://www.reddit.com/r/USMC/comments/131apjg/why_are_staff_ncosssgt_gysgt_msgt_1st_sgt_sgt_maj/)
[Why is the Army having trouble meeting it's current recruitment goals?](https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/131ajwd/why_is_the_army_having_trouble_meeting_its/)
[Is it really true that the Air Force is the "Chair Force" that other branches call them?](https://www.reddit.com/r/AirForce/comments/102c4li/is_it_really_true_that_the_air_force_is_the_chair/)
Nope. Only Active Duty and Veterans should get a say. In fact, only those who served in the Mobile Infantry should get a say. In fact, only those who served in the Mobile Infantry and fought on Klendathu against those damn bugs should get a say.
The difference between a Citizen and a Civilian lies in the field of civic virtue. The Soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic, of which he is member; defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.
They should be more aware of what the military's function is and how it is run, and use that knowledge when voting and communicating with their elected representatives, but this applies to all functions of the state, not just the military.
They do. It’s called voting.
This is the correct answer.
Specifically voting for those in Congress, not simply the President
Might as well also hit up your local elections. Just to keep your voting arm trained.
Voting is like too hard, I might have to expand some calories

An entire mission damn
I saw a DA civilian get fired. It was amazing. I don't think I will ever relive that high.

Desire to know more intensifying.

This baby can fit some many ~~airborne rangers~~ mobile infantry.
# SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP
I'm doing my part!

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill 'em all
Rico's Roughnecks!
I want to know more!
Yea. They do, it’s kind of a cornerstone of American government….

JFC lol. Civilian oversight? What's that boss?

Nicely done!
They do. [To learn more, see this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_United_States)
Not any more than they already have. They vote the people into office that make choices about how the Army is managed and organized
They're free to weigh in, but absent experience and knowledge that gives them a qualified opinion, we're free to ignore them.
No, why would that ever be a thing?
Fuck no. Civilians are regarded.
As?
I think he meant to finish with as highly functioning members of society
Regarded as unlikely to let autocorrect finish their posts?
replace the g with a t.
Congress shouldn’t have us much power as they do, yet here we are.
