[Night Hides Not]

I never went to Ranger School, though I made it through Jump School. I knew my limitations, was never a runner.

I did ok without it, my platoons passed their tac evals, while others with Platoon Leaders with tabs and/or rings from West Point did not.

We need more Sam Damon's...unlikely under the current chain of command.

I certainly would never have made the five mile runs at a five to six minute pace that were standard fare at the Regiment. The bottom line is though I have never seen leadership with as few tabs as we have now. It is symptomatic of the number of good guys (Mixon, Boykin, etc.) who’ve taken a hike or been told to get lost. Get in line with the Gaystapo or screw; it’s as simple as that. Peter Pace is gone and the rainbow flag tone of Mike Mullen is now that standard.
