In all my early military training, there would inevitably be a Colonel who would appear and ask me how many people I had there. I would tell him 40, and sure enough, he would have sent one of my Soldiers off somewhere.
“Are you SURE you have 40 Soldiers out here Lieutenant?”
I learned to keep close watch on everyone and make sure my subordinates did the same. There’s nothing like having a formation out at some training site with a Colonel standing there counting your people and he turns to you and says,
“You told me you have 40 Soldiers out here. I only count 39. Are you a liar or can you not keep track of your Soldiers?”
That’s one of those questions that doesn’t have a right answer.
That’s the kind of leadership training these Democrats lack.

I bet your Colonel was probably Full Bird. I know your Colonel knew his way around. Each of learns the hard way. If and only if some things which should take place do take place will the democRATs learn. A toast to learning.
