Interesting... "as the youngest full colonel in our military, I got a look inside the inner circle of the Army -- and witnessed such dereliction of duty that it rocked my belief system to the core. I discovered most of the senior leadership was concerned mainly with themselves and most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. Most were there merely to get combat command assignments and the glory medals that would punch their career tickets and speed them up the promotion ladder. Few cared about either their men or the mission. All but the brain-dead among them knew the war couldn't be won; yet not one general stood tall, putting country before career, and spoke out. Instead, they ignored the consequences of their actions and continued to mindlessly dispatch young men to their deaths." ~ David Hackworth hackworth.com
