You pull every lie, every canard, and every red herring from a bag tricks carried by shysters.

Typically, E7s have college degrees. You also make E5 in 3 to 5 years. With the training you can make good money on the outside.

There was this liar. So he is sounds a lot like you. I am talking about a real scumbag. He is the type of person, who is for high taxes and then parks his super yacht in another state so as to avoid taxes.
