[ "Inferiority complex" ]
1: People who have an inferiority complex assume other people have a superiority complex, especially tall people. The reality is no one is inferior or superior to the next person, and that every person is also as different as a fingerprint. As long as that's true, equality doesn't exist since equality means exactly the same. Even identical twins are not exactly the same. The trouble is when people take the statement that no two people are the same and turn it into a statement that involves better than or less than.
* e.g., ... Guy 1- There's no such thing as true equality, since true equality would mean everyone was exactly the same, and the world would be boring if it were like that.

Some who join the military do act this way, and expect something from everyone because they are in the service. However, the majority of service members are proud to defend their country and do not suffer from MIC. In all actuality, many civilians suffer from MIC, harboring feelings of jealousy and anger towards those who are in the military. These feelings commonly stem from the fact that they themselves are not happy with their own life and feel it necessary to bash those who protect them. Those civilians with MIC become more vocal during times of war, which shows how unappreciative and silly many people can be.
* e.g., ... Disgruntled worker at establishment that gives military discount: "Why do people in the military get a discount? They expect a discount on everything. They all have Military Inferiority Complex (MIC)!"
