I thought Rob's explanation of some of the military culture was great.

There is a some of that in some units in the Us Military, but I have not heard of them going quite so far.

Some of it is because it violates our precepts of a an egalitarian society, and also because our military tradition really isn't as old nor as firmly based on someone else's already established military.

BuT Rob, often tight cultures like that are evn more likely to try and gloss over the mistakes of one of their own if possible. Especially if the mistake was not deliberately malicious.
