Nothing points out an unprincipled position more than ignoring those principles when it behooves you. On a different tangent, you were in the military, did you hear the word behoove before your service? I know you heard it in service because everyone uses it
Yea I heard it. My mom used to get Reader’s Digest and there was a vocabulary lesson in each issue she made us go over as well as vocabulary tapes we would listen to in the car. She insisted we “don’t sound like fools” and speak the Queen’s English.
Yea. At the time I was annoyed and I remember when I had my dumber mindset thinking my mother wanted me to “act white”, but as I got older and understood things I realized my parents knew exactly what they were talking about.

I know the feeling of not listening to my parents until it's too late.
