Given the leaks (including some by "senior Marine officials"), I'd say the lessons have yet to be learned.
The impression I got from Warlord is that everyone in the UCMJ system is out to win--at any cost. Destroying the enemy, even if it's a fellow Marine, is the goal, not something to be avoided.
If your impression turns out to be the reality of the case, then it sure seems like we got some real bozos in those ranks.
In any case. I gotta hit the rack. Had to work till 11PM last night, then had to go in early today. I am beat.
Have a great day what remains of it.
