Do you find the term "butter bar" offensive or demeaning?

Only when used with an insulting tone of voice.

Nope,, 2lt's have been called that for as long as there has been 2lt's. I was once chastised by my Bn XO for calling a 1lt. El Tee. The Major and I had a short discussion about it and I agreed not to use that disparaging term again (taking it as an order)...at least not in his presence. The El Tee just rolled his eyes. Funny thing though, he had no issues calling me Chief...lol

Everyone say it with me "two tears in a bucket, f#$! It!", if your offended there is a new cry room installed at the university of Utah.

Just another attempt by the 'Politically Correct' to police one more area of our lives. IF you're THAT sensitive... You DO NOT belong in the military. And to those who were 'correcting' those who used those terms.... You make my point for me - thank you!

Each of the various ranks in the military have their own private 'put-down'; just as each of the branches of the service do. Plus, each branch pretends to believe that most members of each of the branches are there to support their own branch.
For people to be offended by such teasing is ridiculous as every member of any of the branches would stand up and fight alongside any and all the other members of our military. No matter what their rank.

I find it funny, when they are making my cry for their antics.

I fail to see what is derogatory about it at all. If you find this term offensive, then your skin is way to thin to be in the military. There are many worse terms in common use across the military that will continue to be used because it gets the point across. Get over it.

No,they earned thier commission and I would'nt demean that UNLESS they were beyond hope.

A term of endearment.

folks in the military face death and destruction routinely in their job. horrible nicknames and things of that nature act as a kind of fitness test. If Jody Butterbar has a fit he probably does not need to be in charge of men in combat. but if he can embrace the "insult", turn it to his advantage and own it, he has gone a long way towards gaining respect and also show, in small way, that he has a good chance of withstanding combat stress.
