He said the organization is pussified and the officer corps he dealt with was unexceptional with the vast majority being a bunch of politically minded hacks.
He's glad he had the experiecnce, but he can't wait to get out.
BTW, I have a friend in the 3rd ID, he was there for the initial fighting and is there again...have to ask his opinion next time I speak to him.
In 1984, at the Basic Training Center at Ft. Bliss, TX, I was standing beside my Brigade Commander one day watch a company of trainees running by in formation and singing cadence. He says, "look at them Top, we are turning out good soldiers, those younger soldiers are physically tough and ready to go to war." I looked over at him said "Yes sir, but are they mentally tough enough to go to war?"
I explained to him that the Army was so scared of letting the drill sergeants yell at the troops, and giving them time out cards, that we were making cry babies out of them. He suggested I should put my retirement papers in.
