I'm sorry there is so much here that is just such crap. Just in passing outside of the marines how a=many 'warrior' types have risen to high command in the armed forces. The model, which we can thank McNamara for midwifing among a host of bad things he did for the armed forces, is the managerial-technocrat officer. These people love powerpoint presentations, complex wiring diagrams, assimilating a host of stupid and pointless new acronyms every couple years that are half assed biz school babel so they can demonstrate their mastery of the complexities of the management pet rock de jour. More warriors at the top would be a plus.
