Gotta hit 'em with a stink bomb they won't be able to wash off for days

Smells like pig in here

OK, so let's prove it then.

Gather up the irrefutable concrete evidence and watch most of the people of this country either refute it or ignore it because, to them, the alternative is too difficult to face

These are also effective

This guy launders money

I'm not a fan of participating in money laundering schemes

Direct commissions happen all the time.

Civilians who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations, supporting troops, health and scientific study are able to receive a direct commission upon entering service. These officers usually occupy leadership positions in law, science, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nurse corps, intelligence, supply-logistics-transportation, engineering, public affairs, chaplain corps, oceanography, merchant marine affairs, and more.

The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps exclusively use a DCO program to commission their officers.

Technically they qualify for any benefit any other soldier with their rank would be eligible for. Though, I doubt they would ever claim anything considering their private benefits far exceed anything they would get from the government, even at the rank of Lt Colonel

They could issue orders to lower ranking soldiers under the general authority of their rank, but they would be issuing those orders to servicemembers under someone else's command...which wouldn't fly with that commander

The offices these kind of people work in is very casual, much like a civilian office where no one holds any particular rank

Yes they are. Those who don't take them help depopulate the planet

I've seen this before

They're never actually put in charge of anyone or really anything

They usually don't even walk around in uniform because they have no idea how to behave like an officer or even a member of the military at all

Really odd how her opinions always seem to line up with the Kremlin's

They certainly are
