OK. Fine. You've convinced me that you think you know what you're talking about because you are experienced in something that I'm not experienced in, and that you're much smarter than I am, making my evaluations meaningless (in spite of my son's experience).

But.........if your experience makes you negative and pessimistic, then why is it that everyone who's had the experience you've had and is as smart as you are, isn't a hopeless pessimist like you are?

Never mind. Don't answer that. I'm just glad that I don't live in a dark tunnel like you do, and that there are plenty of people who don't share your pessimism.....

That is because I am not a pessimist. There are good decisions and there are bad decisions. If this decision is as described, it is a bad decision in my mind. It shows vacillation and will cause a loss of morale for those troops ready to kick some serious butt.
