(I also don't get why people who join the military in some random capacity get the social status they do. The US incentivises joining with gimmedats and doesn't have a very high standard for general admission. A vast swathe of these people are just warm bodies, filler.
Most of these warm bodies are PLA grunt levels of "useful". Hence the high levels of trannies, Onisions and dumbasses like this guy.)
That is why the term POG exists. It stands for Person Other than a Grunt, basically someone in the military that was not infantry / did not have a high risk of combat.
Treating someone that is a POG the same as an infantryman or person that could very likely see combat is B.S. Just look at the available jobs in that army. Close to 85% - 90% of them are jobs that you find in mundane civilian life. Sure, the pay sucks, privacy is limited, and your ass is owned by the government but you don't pay rent or need to pay for food.
As, to the man in the photo. So what? He was in the Navy? I have friends that went into the Navy who were electricians and bookkeepers. The only danger they faced was being electrocuted by incompetence or a paper cut. Another friend did electronics warfare (intelligence) on a plane (Rivet Joint). His greatest danger... airsickness.
Fuck, I was on my was to being a POG, killing terrorists by my Power Point presentation, until a convey I was in was ambushed. Even still, I don't compare what I did to what infantry went through. Heck, when I was back stateside I could kill someone with a Power Point presentation in the morning and get a damned Whopper for lunch.
