That is why, when I am evaluating people for a job, it is a plus to me if they have had military service.

In our military, at least, they usually know how to get a job done using their own initiative.

Good post!

“...how to get a job done using their own initiative.”

I forget which war it was. I almost want to say something involving Russian troops, but not sure what that would have been. (Perhaps it was just acting out war games?) But, the military guy was saying that our troops can take the initiative on making decisions on a much smaller level and close to the action. Down to the individual soldier. So we can react to the changing situation right then.

The Russians(?) would need to call back to the VERY higher ups to make any changes.
