Tibbsey......you seem a bit on edge. The guys knew what they were doing and Im sure accepted the wrath to follow while doing it.
The military today is not where one wants to be anyway. As S76Heavy says its not good for recruitment of good folks when they Brass can spend so much time on unimportant drivel. If I were the enemy all I would have to do to stop any military action is place a few of these signs in the right spot and things would come to a halt.
Im sure Pappy Boyington would have chewed their A
real good............as he passed them a Beer in toast. We have no more leaders, just paper pushers. The one with the highest stack gets promoted.
I certainly dont want a Military of nice guys. I want a bunch of hard trained folks who will kick your A
in a heartbeat when ordered to do so.
Wish I could see Col Hackworths response to this one. As one who served in both the Marine Corps and the Army, I am a bit biased.
