First, let me say that throwing the Marine in the brig for giving up his commission over something he passionately believes is flat-a$$ wrong.  He isn't a physical threat to anyone and they coud easily begin whatever proceedings they think appropriate without his being a flight risk.  Even if appropriate under the UCMJ the optics are horrid.

Next, read my post again and understand that I never said you are not entitled to your opinion, just that you might not have informatiom available to you that might temper that opinion.  I still believe that if you were to have spent time in the environment you wouldn't be quite so quick to assess guilt and/or blame.  You tend to look at things as either black or white and I am here to tell you there in an unlimited number of shades of gray between the two.

Next, you seem to think I am biased against enlisted military members.  Far from the truth.  I often joke that when a Lieutenant assigned as a Squadron Communications Operations Officer I "worked for" an E-9 who was assigned as my Ops Superintendent.  Especially in the Air Force, officers and enlisted work as a team for mission accomplishment, with both valued for their contributions.  You have never met me and don't know me so you are completely off base with your insinuation that I consider those not commissioned as "enlisted pukes".  

You make some pretty damning accusations, and while they may or may not reflect reality rather than your perceptions, in your mind perception is reality.  But remember, unlike the Pope, you are not infallible and on occasion you might just consider the thought that others' ideas and perspectives have merit.
