  Yes. From my time in army, i feel that becos warrant officer go thru more(eg sg->ssg etc) and really have alot of hands-on experience and really very "steady" when they do things. Offficers jus study, the more u study the faster u rise but when really called into action dunno wat to do liao...

  i dunno... regulars who are "life sentences", people think they don't fit anywhere else...
  
  most of them are the "lao cheks"...
  
  some are great people, some are just wastes of oxygen...
  
  rank.. the most respected are those who treat their men like humans... so officers or lau cheks, it depends.. did they earn their respect or they are just a-holes....
  
  heck! lau lee's son was very high ranking... i respect pond-scum and bottom feeding carrion eaters more...

  Haha.
  
  Interesting topic.
  
  For me, I think it will do good for them to treat people well. Only then will they get respect.
  
  In times of war, one will only help someone who deserves to be helped.

  Good point, I respect the one who deserves respect, not because of their rank.
  
  Some officers think greeting/saluting them is a sign of respect, like that prick of a QM in my former unit, well if thats how he thinks, hes a bigger idiot than he looks. Because like you, in my heart I'm spitting at him while my mouth greets him.
  
  Well not that I greet him that often, only when he raises a stink about it, most of the time I shoot him dirty looks or ignore him totally
  
  BTW shouldn't this topic be in Military Nuts?

  ha ha... i like that point of view... but come now... even pond-scums and bottom feeding carrion eaters have a very constructive ecological role to play.
  
  i would actually call pple who gain high rank through "questionable" avenues... leeches and parasites... living off the labour of others and providing no constructive role by themselves.

  I respect Old Encik more. But in todays' life, I shld say none. As everywhere u turn, there's 1 encik standing there. Why? B'cos they study lah! Nowadays rank are FREE! seems like buy 1 get 1 free kinda deal.
  
  I believe that Respect is to be earn and not given.
