"grunt"
pejorative and very negative
Garry, I can't see the use of that term in this context as negative at all. Glenn merely saying that by virtue of his rank and position, Boylan's statements carry different weight than that of a line soldier or Marine. And that's all.
Is "grunt" is like the "N-word," in that it's insulting when used by outsiders? If so, I didn't know that, I don't think Glenn does, either, though I don't know what his service record is.
