I mean NO DISRESPECT but DANG!!!

Ok so while up north, I saw a sign that said something to the effect of "Officer's Country no trespassing unless authorized or an official visitor, no pedestrians, or motorists allowed." All I could think of was, "hmm now if we aren't allowed to even drive through (as it's a short cut!!) I wonder what "illegal" or "not allowed" things are going on inside the "officer's country." I'm sure nothing, but still. Ok so they worked hard in school and got a degree. I'm proud! But they are HUMANS and in my opinion, NO BETTER THAN A PFC STRAIGHT OUTTA BOOT CAMP. They ALL put their lives on the line, they ALL signed that SAME contract. Why should they get "off limits" areas but yet any Tom Dick n Harry can drive through the enlisted members housing sections? Why are the enlisted member's families any less important that they don't deserve the same protection and privacy? This sign REALLY bothers me. Makes me want to become an officer and REFUSE to live in "Officer's Country" and DEMAND to live amongst the enlisted to prove a point... Degree or no degree, military members are all the same at the end of the day! An individual who made a choice to serve their country, to die for their country. God created us all equal, so who do these people think they are and what right do they think their degrees have given them to be able to "ban" people from "their" area??????" I respect officers for their hard work and dedication all through their school years and military careers. I think they deserve respect just as all military members do. But I don't agree with the "OFFICER'S COUNTRY, DO NOT ENTER" crap. Sorry, but I don't.
