No arguement here - there was a leadership failure, and things will happen in due course. But not as a result of any Leftist muckraking.
From your screen name, I assume you have a greater knowledge and appreciation of the nature of leadership - and you know how things work when there’s a foul-up like this. Idiots in the press can’t begin to understand that the best of military officers, including NCOs, have the highest kind of love for those whom they lead.
