SIGH...
It was not that long ago a Man's word was his bond...
I think that is the largest rub for me. My Honor and Integrity being treated like it is non-existent. Respect is a 2 way street. When I am treated like an Adult, I tend to treat the others I am engaged with in a similar fashion.
I find it amazing that people, expect so much from Service Members in the way we treat everyone to include Non-Uniformed Combatants. But, yet LEOs tend to have a lot more leeway in how they are allowed to interact with the very Citizens they are paid to oversee (SCOTUS, says it is no longer Serve and Protect so I feel oversee is appropriate).
Absolutely. The question really, is whether we can trust our fellow man with liberty or not.
