I agree - prior enlisted service does not make an excellent officer nor does lack of such service make a bad officer. However, it is my opinion (and opinion only) that the same person will make a better officer if they have the benefit of having served on the enlisted side.
In my opinion (again) those officers that look down at enlisted soldiers based on their exalted rank have no business being officers.
