Like many on here I’ve served my country too, but I was lucky enough to do most of it in a time where there was no political correctness.

Nobody tells you that six hours on and six hours off for months is damaging to your health. Nobody tells you about not being able to even wash for weeks on end as was the norm in diesel boats. You are separated from all that you know and love and you do it because, well, someone has to. Service to one’s country is not a job, it’s a vocation. It defines who and what you are.
Hardly surprising then that a cowboy outfit like Crapita couldn’t get all their $h*t in one sock.
