The tragedy is that we tell young leaders this is not how it is supposed to be, but our reality speaks otherwise. MAJ Vandergriff's focus upon the symbiotic relationship between strong small units and a professional officer corps illuminates the path the Army must take to continue to evolve in a changing world. However, that path is mined by the national zeitgeist of centralization. I look forward to reading his new book to see what insights he might share to bypass this friendly minefield. Comments Aw c'mon, people.
Military officers are fantastic at the art of obfuscation.
Some of these parasites are making three and four federal paychecks. The bulk of young troops are leaving in lieu of having to put up with such people. At least THEY are earnest in their decisions. Comments Congratulation to Chuck Spinney for his outstanding work. Chuck and I first met at Wright-Pat AFB in 1969 and became good friends during our active duty tour there.
