Just to be clear, no disrespect intended. I was basing this on observations made by some friends and family members who served in Iraq. A cousin who served in 4th ID told me some pretty ridiculous tales that were examples of what I was saying. Tech as far as GPS, better radios, weapons optics, all good IMO. I was just referring to the personal item distractions. All units have some slackers including my own. Its just that the squeeky wheel gets the grease. We used to say that the squeeky wheel gets "greased".
As for the late eighties. Well, it just depended on what job you had and where you went.
