Uh boy...
It’s B57/Nha Trang in 1969 all over again. I guess the Left wants to follow the Vietnam playbook to the letter.
Yep. Pretty weak leadership-—hiding behind the ol desk—like good generals do. Pansy bottom.
I had a CO once that directed me to violate orders to enhance morale. Did my homework—determined the existing instruction was canx without a current replacement. I did as requested, nearly got tagged for it by a very curious JAG investigation. Visions of the ol Kansas fort vacation. Once the Navy (3star) promised the AF it would never happen again, this CO asked me if I would do it again. Told the ol Skipper I was not his man. About face and out the door.
Admired the guy—thumbed his nose at the biggies, marched to his own drum, had a get er done attitude. I imagine he probably got drummed out once his tour was over.
Not many real leaders in the military. Best CO I had was an alcoholic that could tie it on all night and be in complete control at 7am. Troops loved em because he had that get er done and we aint cheating the system with any pencilwhippin maneuvers.
Generally, not much real leadership. Now, in this pc police climate, probably even fewer willing to risk a career.
