The vast majority of dumbass “decision makers” who make these dumbass decisions NEVER HAVE TO SUFFER FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR DUMBASS DECISIONS! AFTER ALL, THEY DON’T “DO” COMBAT!
“Lesser” people are the ones that suffer!
Send Ashton Carter to Afghanistan in full combat gear and let him find out what it is REALLY like!
Fancy “briefings,” YouTube gun camera movies and “professional” slideshows are a very poor substituted for patrolling the Hindu Kush looking for the murderous bastards who are trying to kill you!
PS
The military’s mission is to break things and kill people!
EVERY DECISION made that does not enhance the mission is a BUMBASS DECISION!
AND, THE DUMBASS SHOULD BE FIRED OR IMPRISONED, OR BOTH!
