You're making my point for me. This is an old story from a year ago at Ft. Stewart, GA and Ft. Knox, KY, and other places -- and a year later the problems aren't fixed. I'm a Bush supporter and I hope this story doesn't hurt him. But this is a story of major incompetence in mid-level officer ranks, and it can't keep happening. It's an abuse of soldiers and an abuse of taxpayers.
If I had anything to do with this chain of command I'd be pissed -- I'd be cracking some heads and replacing subordinate leaders, or whatever I had to do to get this fixed. I suspect the chain of command feels the same way I do now, and they'll make big changes quickly, now that this has hit the light of day.
If these men are well enough to whine then they are well enough to understand that their fellow soldiers are risking their lives in a war zone every day.
Do you think whining is appropriate right now?
