Did Carl know?

I was in the Army many moons ago, and I am 100% sure that there are many retired officers who are certified *** holes. They sure were when they were active duty. I'm fairly certain that black belts are not immune from that distinction either.

Oh, I'm not saying officers are immune from being *** holes. Not at all. And there are black belts that are *** holes I am sure, I just don't know any personally (yes, I do know more than my fair share). But I am willing to give Carl's friend the benefit of the doubt and assume he's not a lapdog who attacks on Carl's command. Contrary to what Carl very strongly implied. That's all I'm saying.
