All those Colonel’s, and Generals going around saying “you know, I just love soldiers, it’s important for leaders to love soldiers”, are full of crap. They love soldiers who help them get promoted by getting blown away in a highly efficient manner that makes the General look good. Other than that, not so much.
‘You’ read this, today, in the era of the “since-Vietnam-fixed-V.A.MedicalSystem”.
If this is ‘fixed’, now do you understand how bad things were for those of us who served in SouthEast Asia, during the Vietnam War, where ‘everybody’ hated us at home?
