Marine veteran Ivan Snook said he was surprised by the hateful responses he received after posting his argument on X.

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.

    Seeing this unfold in real time on Twitter was glorious. Highly recommend delving into how bad this dude was dragged for his comments.

      Agreed, former enlisted officers were my personal favorite because they know how it is and the enlisted can’t get away with anything.
