Making your superiors look bad is offensive.
Incompetence at the top, competence and bravery at the lower ranks.
The ones who get to the top often seem to be far more interested in how they look than how they do.
But Australia seems rather more "good old boy" networks as the most important, than in the United States.
The USA has had plenty of incompetents at war.
What a story. I had never heard of this incident before. I didn’t know that the Japanese had used mini subs anywhere else besides Pearl Harbor.
