Corporate obsession with the military

Anyone else notice how obsessed with the military the corporate world in the US is? Especially when it comes to special operations forces? I feel like I constantly hear people comparing themselves or their team to Navy SEALs, executives go to “leadership” courses that are advertised as pseudo-military experiences, etc. It’s cringey as fuck, reminds me of the kids that would’ve served but they’d have punched a DI or whatever.

Anyways, I’ll have a McDouble and a coke while I wait for Excel to unfuck itself.
