“But Neller said he’s making changes that will ensure those roles are filled by other members of a rifle company.”
Yeah, cause they really don’t have anything else to do.
They need to open up more roles for women, so they are cutting back on grunts. Today BS what Obama has done to the USMC. Cyber and electronic men don’t take Iwo Jima, Hue, or Fallujah.
The current crop of Obama Generals are worthless...yes Including Mattis.
I’ve been carrying a DD-214 for a looooong time. Talking to my younger friends who are active duty Army Infantry Officers, this seems to be the trend in all Branches. Basically, they are being taught in IOBLC to hunker down and let the zoomies and the King of Battle do their thing and then go forward and mop up the remainder...When I asked them about urban combat and “collateral damage”..crickets..
Hard to call Mattis an Obama general when he fired him without even the common courtesy of a reach around (erm... phone call.)
