EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE -- BY RANK
Written (from memory) by Cpl (ret) "Durty" Dan Leger
The military has many unique ways of looking at problems. Many times, even though the personalities traits may be identical, they are always relative, by rank. The system seems to handle each one differently. However, the lower in rank you are, the clearer the problem becomes.
| . | THE COLONEL | THE CAPTAIN | THE SERGEANT | THE CORPORAL |
| BAD ATTITUDE | Has his own way of doing things | Has initiative | Often follows his own course | Is a discipline problem and never follows orders |
| UNKEPT APPEARANCE | Sets a different standard | Requires improvement in dress and deportment | Is untidy | Is a scruffy bastard |
| STRANGE DEMEANOR | Has a unique perspective | Is known to be eccentric | Tends to be slightly off track | Is a bloody flake |
| LOW INTELLIGENCE | Possess a different way of thinking | Has problems with some concepts | Is a slow learner | Has the I.Q. of a garden slug |
| DOMESTIC SITUATION | Interacts well socially with the fairer gender | Has many female friends | Has been seen in the company of other women | Screws around on his wife |
| SEXUAL ORIENTATION | Loves his men | Has an alternative lifestyle | Has feminine qualities | Is a screaming, prancing fag |
| SUITABLE PUNISHMENT | A slight reprimand may be necessary if this happens again | Requires disciplinary action | Should be punished | Should be thrown in a hole and buried alive |
| AWOL | Has taken an extended leave period | Is on personal administration | Is not at work today | AWOL |
| RANK IS FILLED BY A WOMAN | Has worked hard and made her "sisters" proud | Can do the same work as any man at her rank | Does well against the challenges her gender must face | Is probably a dyke |
