He also paints the "military" with one brush. When the focus of Officer training and duties is hugely different depending on what branch of the service you're talking about. Concur. And it also varies based on the duties and responsibilities one has in the service he is in. B thinks everyone in the military bleeds green and is dumb, or at least dumber than hishighself. There is a guy who had a mediocre idea but due to confusion was able to milk it to a fortune. He has some company like Kilcullen, but they are all falling fast. You should tell him you bleed blue. The US military has unlimited resilience. It started in Valley Forge and today's daily suffering is a fraction of that. I just hate we have had to to lose so many of our own before we became solutions oriented. Lack of Congressional oversight coupled with military and congressional ignorance has been much of the problem. Now that congress is involved in studying the issues (and has requested junior officer and enlisted input), I feel confident we can work this out. I hope you are talking. PSYWAR is huge right now with the bombings and the fingers. I am really concerned this is battlefield prep for something "bigger". I hope I'm wrong or at least "bigger" can be identified and neutralized. Michael, good to see ya and thanks for your service. uw
