Ha. No pants? I laugh at no pants. You want to hear what I have to put up with?
I manage several retail clothing stores in the Atlanta area. We have arrested more than a dozen people this year for actually urinating or defacating on piles of clothing in the fitting room.
It's funny you saying that. I started to read a massive thread on the World of ******** forums about Roleplayers' biggest pet peeves, and one of the things that kept cropping up was people who run guilds like military squads.
I don't see what the big deal is. Most MMO games focus around killing - be it of NPCs in PvE or of living, breathing, thinking people in PvP, and if you've ever read The Art of War by Sun Tzu, you know that no matter how sad it is that such people have to exist, the best people to entrust with the running of a war are those people who understand it and will carry it out effectively.
That requires leadership and discipline. But they're other chapters.
What you said reminded me that I once studied military historical re-enactors for a paper, and what happens in some of those groups is you have volunteers who make their costumes who can't bear to make themselves low-ranking, so they make their uniform that of a captain, a colonel, a general - something higher ranking. Groups like that are comical - a whole brigade too top-heavy with brass to legitimately be in any battlefield together. In STO RP I have observed the same thing. I can just imagine RP fleets filled with captains and admirals, each trying to assert that he is in command, and a farce of Stooge proportions ensues.

Savages.
My wife used to work for a major menswear retailer (she worked in corporate HR, not in a store) and she's told me that from the horror stories she's heard, this is MUCH more common than most people would think.
FWIW, I do not doubt you at all. What you're saying tracks with what my wife has told me.
