I think what they are suggesting is that the high standards of the military have remained constant whilst the average standards elsewhere in society have dropped.
I do think nostalgia has a way of tinting ones views on things though.
People always seem to notice the decline in standards since "their" day.

That came out of the mouth of Hesoid in 700 B.C.

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
