Retired E8-E9, should your status be used as a bully platform?

Do you feel that your service and retired status should give you influence and/or favor in how your child is treated within his unit? Should he be treated special in any different manner as long as he is properly cared for and the orders he is given is lawful, moral and ethical. Is you child so super more important to you that I should not enforce the standard to him?

Should your child get a pass from being forward deployed into the fight zone as an infantry soldier because of your past service? And that service you did never placed you into harms way?

Oh and then when you are pushing this type of narrative, you deem your child should not only be released from deployment, but that he receive a letter of recommendation for that same child to be on Officer candidate.
