This feels disingenuous to the max. I have a younger brother who went through USAF Basic, and these tech bros just get bestowed a high rank? It smells of stolen valor.

I mean nothing ill towards the 'mud hut', but seriously? All these listed names seem like people who've never had to roll in the mud with the rest of the grunts.

>stolen valor

... is a term with a specific definition, which a direct commission officer in no way matches. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_commission_officer>

>roll in the mud with the rest of the grunts

Neither have you, yet you presume to speak on their behalf.

It might not be stolen valor, but you just KNOW these guys are going to play up their veteran status, the Honor and Sacrifice of these Great Men, (the article is already an example of this) when really this is just a trojan horse to enrich themselves and their companies. They're not even full time positions.

I believe that I am equally qualified for the role as they are ;)
