I served on the Army Science Board while in uniform and thereafter and I participated in several other advisory entities. They have provided important contributions over the years, but like anything else, they can become stale or highjacked by someone who is pursuing somone’s agenda. It’s good to shake them up from time to time and some certainly ought to be brought to an end.
Unfortunately we have a self perpetuating coterie of leftists in the mode of John Dalton and Dick Danzig that now infest the Pentagon. Things that were once joked about (Gay Pride Day at Fort Bragg) are now realities and standards are regularly dropped so gals can be sent into ‘combat’. This board most likely reflected the current ethos.
