The average blue collar american doesn't know the difference between a Lieutenant or a Captain!

Normal people don't care about this shit. Military families do, but that's a shrinking demographic.

You're out of touch. The average person i know laughs when they see a virgin O3 walking around like they weren't just the equivalent of a grocery store manager when they were getting shot at in their dinky swift boats like little bitches.

But when a fucking chad O7 walks around everyone loses their minds! Its just like if they saw a Fortune 500 CEO!!!! so-true

Anyone who has seen Top Gun understands the difference between a lieutenant and a captain.
