Esprit de corps is a very fundamental morale factor in a fighting force. You’d think young troops when seeing their leaders are war veterans they’d look up to them, especially when it’s their turn to go to a war zone.
The left is doing everything possible to destr0y our armed forces. This leftist brigade commander should be cashiered out of the army.
If new officers do not feel superior by virtue of their rank, it’s their problem, not the army’s.
I remember when the 1st Ranger Battalion first got activated and started setting up shop at Ft. Stewart. The Commanding General of that sleepy little place wasn't a very particularly impressive fellow; didn't get much respect; Just a white haired gentleman who looked long past retirement age. .... Until we noticed that he war jump wings with three little gold stars on them, from WWII.
