Ones opinions are one's own intellectually. That has never been debated. What is being talked about is the presentation. It merits an improvement which is certainly achievable. If I know who you are and I think I may know(as Allah alone is the knower of all things) your resume and comments on it refers to your no nonsense approach. Your technical prowess and approach have been said to be commendable. However not everyone has clues to a puzzle and to them you are just another internet warrior. You do need to keep your appraoch objective but your hand and tone factual and perhaps a bit diplomatic. It would make everyone's task easier. Here no one knows what shit gets dealt with at the level of the job that you did and how problems were or weren't resolved. Here everyone raises their flags and sings the lullaby to ease their egos(national and others). However within those boundaries things can still be said. This is sensible advice from one white haired man to another. The rest is upto you. You obviously have a lot to teach us all. Dont deprive us of that opportunity and pass your experience on.
Note: Iam totally reliant on info available on the net. I have no military background but have latched onto glimpses of what you said to reach a conclusion. As such my impressions are mine alone. I may be totally wrong as I have relied on what you have said so this needs to be clear.

Dont lose heart you not so old man. I understand the perils of anonymity. However you and all else like you need to understand that you have A DUTY to your people to teach and train and change their mindset. You have done a stirling job so far. Why give up. So the padestal did not suit you. Come down and be amongst the commoners like me but dont give up on your duty. Like it or not this is what is your calling. You are respected and wanted. Be amongst your friends and satisfy their needs and ignore the ones that dont feel the need.
I dont know whether you know this or not. But to prove my point let me tell you a little tail.Abu Jahal and ?(I need to confirm this second name as my memory is failing me)Utbah ibn Rabi were both confirmed haters of the Prophet of Allah SAW. Yet they were both mesmerised by the recitation of the Holy Quran that the Prophet SAW used to do in the night prayers. One night one came across the other listenning to the Quran and asked "why are you here?" They both made excuses of wanting to know what He SAW was saying but were not wavering in their opposition. They promised to not come there again and yet for three consecutive nights they were both there and came across each other while promising the other party not to come back. The point is whether they denied it or not and they both died as non believers they could not help listening. For people of knowledge the task is to put their knowledge and try and teach . For the listeners it is their responsibility to learn from it or debunk it or plainly and simply choose to live in their ignorance. The degradation of this board is entirely because of people like you and a few others who knew things and could articulate well losing hope, having arguments and leaving. What did their exit gain other than depriving others of the knowledge that they had. It was them that lost out. Not the ignorance but their effort in obliterating it.
One can never be totally rid of ignorance but a fight against it is a must. To not fight is to accept defeat and to take your knowledge in your chest to your grave is an even worst fate.
I think you know where I am coming from and what sentiments I have in saying what I have said. Iam sure you will give me enough credence to read what I have said and have a thought. The rest is upto you.
Kindest regards
