Sorry, you're right. I don't know shit from shit but from what I've seen/heard there is no rivalry over stuff like that.
The unfortunate thing is that soldiers don't get to make decisions like this. Like I said before, there is a lot of bullshit that goes on in the military, and there's really nothing GI Joe Smith can do about it.
