Marine veteran Ivan Snook set social media aflame on Sunday after posting that the U.S. military should stop allowing enlisted service members to become officers.

“Mustangs erode the esteem, legitimacy and distinct culture of the officer corps like merchants marrying into the aristocracy,” Snook posted on X. “Nevertheless, we are intent on lowering the standards and reducing military service to being ‘just a job’ asap.”

What an asshole.

    Isn’t the whole principle that it should be a meritocracy. If they have potential the army schools them with the additional requirements and they promote. It’s not as of there are no requirements. Back to school, training programs etc. This guy is a tool.
