To: Tell It Right

“Frankly, it’s time for a new generation of leaders...”

LEADERS? You’re telling ‘We The People’ that what we have had post-President Reagan were LEADERS?

Our definitions differ greatly, Mittens.

Good riddance!

Great post, Diana! All of them, including Trump, fail to meet my definition of leader, taken from the Leader’s Handbook: a leader is responsible for everything his unit does, or FAILS to do.

That lesson was hammered home by my CO and Battalion Commander after I failed my first ARTEP 46 years ago. Nobody’s perfect, but it has served me well over the years. It was a great learning experience, flunking that evaluation. I learned what I could do, and what I couldn’t do.

I think that’s a big problem in today’s military: you’ve got to give the butterbars the freedom to learn their jobs. That doesn’t happen overnight.
