When I was a private I would hear the old timers (Brown Shoes) talk about how the “new” Army was going straight to hell. When I made Sergeant I started saying it. A couple years after I retired I sat at my favorite watering hole and heard a young Staff Sergeant bitching about the “new” Army, and how it was going straight to hell.
The “new” Army might be heading straight to hell, and that has been said for many years. The Army is a constantly changing institution. It has always been “going straight to hell”, but it always answers the call and just keeps on stroking - and doing a very nasty job very well.

Very well said, R. Scott. That is the best post I've read all day.
