Right, how does it make sense to blame the private sector for rapid inflation when it's the government and central banks that control the minting of currency?

I get that corporations are evil and greedy, but inflation is not something corporations have influence over. If anything, we should be looking at banks, yet even banks count on the central bank to print them fresh bills.

The average civilian is more disposable than a service member. It is well known that a service member has more responsibilities and higher standards than their civilian counterparts. Hence the reason military experience is looked at with higher regard than a bachelors degree.

This is not as bad as it reads. Understand that the top brass in the DoD are extremely loyal to the country, loyalty and trust is crucial in the officer corps (in the US at least).

Once you get that star (or whatever the equivalent is for the navy) you are basically a US officer for life. Retired Generals and Admirals can and do get called upon by the government when they are needed. They are considered highly experienced professionals that the government can trust. They are not "in" the system, they are the system.

I would expect that the DoD keeps tabs on these officers. While the oil money may be nice, make no mistake, the US government is the wealthiest organization on the planet. These officers understand who the real provider is.
