playing Army

my mood

Today as I was leaving the BX, a Second Lieutenant gave me the "Soldier! Why didn't you give me the proper greeting!" look.

And all I could think was:

Dude, your superior -- who outranks both of us, by the way -- totally ignored me. He's busy. I don't want to interrupt. Also, one doesn't give the greeting of the day in the BX, since we all want to go about our business uninterupted. Now, is that acceptable, sir?

And then I swallowed my pill, put my beret on, and walked out the door.

I don't know about him, but I just play Army.
