That is a flawed conclusion for a number of reasons, which is why I didn't suggest it. I guess this makes you
that guy. My issue isn't speed, it's excessive speed for conditions and vehicle specifications.

It is not in poor taste to say something that is objectively true. Privates on leave are precisely "highschool kids out on prom night." They need to be supervised by NCOs. But ask yourself why so many Army recruits are gung-ho yet they drive jacked up, fullsize trucks and SUVs at fast and furious speeds.
You can't explain that.
