Wow, your understanding of the military is incredible. Did you learn all of this on a cereal box?
I fail to see how the military command seeing a techie as an interchangeable cog is any different from a corporation's upper management seeing a techie as an interchangeable cog. I will say, however, the corporate techie is not (usually) in a position where they may be shot at. If I die, the next "interchangeable cog" needs to step in IMMEDIATELY to work radios, keep the network up, etc. Lives depend on the next guy being an "interchangeable cog".

If a general says there is a flag there, then BY GOD, there is a flag there.
