Sounds like I offended a paper pusher - whether I did or not no apology will be forthcoming.
#1 - You don’t pull warriors off the front line to perform logistics. If the training and promotion process were more properly warrior oriented there would be more warriors available. Non-combat rated personnel should be limited and employ very specific expertise - doctors, lawyers, nurses etc. Inside training and expertise, such as combat support, should be done with a military warrior mindset.
#2 - You don’t authorize 3 or 4 star status to a billet if it is not warrior-centric.
#3 - As for logistics - who knows better what is needed at the front than a front-liner?
#4 - See #1 and start again.
Whoever is in charge of logistics for the entire Army needs to have a rank that allows him or her to stand their ground against anyone pretty much anyone else in the military. It seems like a requirement for that person to be able to do their job.

Modern military logistics is probably a lot like running Wal-Mart. It is, I think, a skill-set that is more like having an MBA than being a skilled rifleman.
