The sad thing Melchett is that you are talking about YOU. Not you personally but YOU the RAF. You (and me when I was in) are what create the abortion of which we complain.

Some COs have the touch, many don't. I think one reason for the poor recognition is simply overstretch. People just don't have the capacity and time for empathy. Now, when someone does show some glimmer of humanity you doubt their sincerity.

That said, there are also many outstanding senior officers but there are also others.
