barracks lawyers
Regulation-citing complainers
A barracks lawyer is a soldier who offers unsolicited legal opinions or advice to fellow service members, typically without formal legal training.
The term is usually disparaging, suggesting someone who argues technicalities, questions orders, or stirs up grievances: Every unit has a barracks lawyer who thinks he knows the regulations better than the officers.
