      And all that NCO wants to do is hand out the necessary ass-kickings so that he can go home and gamble with some of the dipshits from Logistics But he's gotta stand there and get whipped by Ross who is probably at that point five to eight years younger than him

      Yep It's a very "eye of the storm" kind of thing I had my commander—an older, barrel-chested, kinda frat looking guy—casually ask me what my plans for the weekend were I replied "uh, probably Pokémon" And that guy's reaction was very Agent Rosshttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1302737208563191808 …

      From the way you've described it the calm, mildly condescending tone Ross takes at all times is very true to an Air Force officer

      Because you're the leader, right, and you're also approaching or in your forties You can't just show CONTEMPT for your airman, right, this is, to some extent, a child you've adopted, a foundling you've taken in But also this creature is a wretched and pathetic disgrace

      So he masked his feelings and kind of just said "well, uh, have fun with that", with this sort of consternated friendliness, and briskly walked off I suppose I should have said I was going to climb Big Sur or something

      Right like the larger-than-life framing of the Avengers kind of obfuscates this, but if you're a guy like Agent Ross, you for sure don't want to have to put up with the bullshit of a kid like Scarlet Witch (cf. Coulson, whose manchildness BENEFITS this)https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1302739772213833728 …

      Worth noting that when we're first introduced to Agent Ross in Civil War his job appears to be the government liaison overseeing Sokovia Accords enforcement and riding herd on the Avengers Who are this exaggerated archetype of fucked up broken people with very important jobs

      I read a thing once about an Army Air Force general from WWII talking about how back then they tried to do a study to see if there was a certain personality type that "bred aces", a way to identify where they should try to recruit talented fighter pilots

      And there just wasn't a pattern, much as they wished there were Being good at flying a plane in combat is a very very rare skill and one that past a certain point you just have or don't, there's no way to teach it Which is very frustrating for the brass who care about PR

      Some of the top aces in WWII were very mild, normie, clean cut guys, devout Christians who went to church every Sunday and never swore and were fully loyal to their wives and kids Some were total basket cases, drug abusers and alcoholics, womanizers and harassers

      On the Axis side, no one who fought in the Luftwaffe could be said to be a "good guy" but they were just as likely to speak freely among themselves about how Hitler was a clown as they were to be frothing hardcore Nazis

      And in both cases it didn't *matter*, there were plenty of pilots the more politically minded brass would've preferred to cut loose but actually good fighter pilots were such a precious resource in the war they needed all of them

      This came up a while back in that scandal where the astronaut lady was stalking her ex and drove across the country in a stimulant-fueled manic episode wearing astronaut diapers to confront him People very carefully saying that being "weird" is normal for astronauts

          It's a very high stress job picked from a very small talent pool and the old school test pilots who became astronauts had plenty of less than savory means of "blowing off steam" that the media just graciously didn't report

          Nowadays being an astronaut also means having to be a role model for the kids And that's kind of a tall order, especially for people coming into NASA by the military route rather than the PhD academic route (although academia also has... its problems)
