David: I agree that there may be a good number of those out there. That's even worse! HBTHDT (haven't been there, haven't done that, but will fake it).
I still contend--in fact know--that some of those to whom I refer HAVE been there and done it, which is wonderful but doesn't justify being arrogant and/or obnoxious. I prefer the real deal "quiet professional" who doesn't have to blow their own horn all the time. I heard that Jim Cirillo, RIP, was one like that, or that's what I recall reading anyway.
Humility seems in short supply in the world at large, so if it's short in the small tactical orbit, I guess it's no surprise.
ps: I have enjoyed many of your posts in the past, fwiw
