You just plain do not get it. What ever their reasons,right or wrong... no matter if the officer issuing the order was naked with a flower in each year. They should have been dealt with by Court Martial.
The decision has already effected the Army.Discipline is the sole difference between our troops and the terrorists.
When the Army concedes on discipline, every soldier suffers.My son e-mailed me from Camp Victory and already the troops are asking if we tell the Lt. to F*** off wiil it be guard duty or painting a few bricks.
Some smart enlightened officer promoted Karpinski to General
and put her in charge of Abu Grahib.There are still a lot of COO children in the officer corps.
Discipline is one thing,and stupidty is another. You fail to see the difference in your arguments of your "by the book and no brains at all costs".
Painting bricks has little do with suicide missions carrying contaminated fuel using deadlined equipment, get real.
