We'd better look at the outcome of the work that our military is trained to do - who cares if they can score 5 3point baskets from midcourt.

Please elaborate.

And our military seems to be doing one Hell of good job. General Mattis, for one has made the greatest advancement of any Marine unit in the history of the Marine Corps, similar to Patton's greatest push in the history of US Army, and I don't condone critical view of the highly trained military officers who risk their lives so SF Chronicle can ridicule them. His accomplishments speak more than any article, any one of us, can write. The man is a soldier and he did well - end of story.
