I'm going to take a guess and say that:
1. This kid did not get ABN TDY enroute to 7th
2. He got to 7th as a young leg and pissed somebody off
3. His life as SOF support was miserable, by his own making/attitude
4. He resents the fact that he was corrected in any way by anybody
5. His written portion for a board was laughed at by those reading it and stamped "denied" before he even got to face the board
6. We are all overachieving assholes - with the attitude everybody should try as hard as we do to better ourselves - and this kid took exception to that.

And, to borrow Richard's line, stolen from Kurt Vonnegut Jr., "...and, so it goes."

(not bad, a multiply cited, plagaristic plagarism ...)
