Learning to distinguish between traditions with value and those without it will help preserve the service from overzealous civilians.
The military is a strange institution. It must be on the cutting edge of innovation and change in order to win the nation’s wars. If it falls behind, even for a moment, the costs can be immense. In some cases, it even leads social change when it serves military goals — the military was at the forefront of civil rights when it integrated blacks in 1948.

I came from the good ole days when you got your new rank punched in.Then they started to call it hazing.I believe that opened pandora's box soldiers started to feel like they could whine and cry about extra duty and being treated unfairly. SAD

Military culture and traditions are ours to honor and remember, at a benefit Sunday night a group of us sat down,talked,laughed and toasted our family who served as well as are serving plus called each other our nicknames for our branches. I can honestly say that if you never wore the uniform, stop trying to change OUR time honored traditions
