In my Army, the sergeants were gravel-road rough, and the mission was about knocking off the enemy and winning. Back then, the brass didn't care about COO stuff. They were into training soldiers to kill our enemies and win battles. The more sweat in training, the less blood in battle. They court-martialed the slackers.

Oh, and on behalf of our president, here are six medals for all that discomfort those mean old Serbs put you through. However, I can't help wondering what kind of message this sends to our soldiers. To me, this is just another sign of the continued feminization of the armed forces and further evidence that our senior leadership has lost sight of what's important. This trend has converted me into one more member of the growing number of soldiers who've become frustrated with the current state of the Army. At Fort Gordon, also in Georgia, four students were recently caught red-handed with marijuana.
