I agree with you that everybody getting in the way of stopping the terrorists needs to get out of the way and let the people who know what to do, do their jobs. But how do we keep the media traitors and the political traitors (those who would LIKE TO SEE WWIII if it means their power grab succeeds)? If you have a solution or suggestions to improve the situation, I would like to hear it.
I mean specifically the military and the LEO agencies.I have come to the conclusion, based on extensive and colorfull experience, that any large organisation is going to consist of the same types of people. The quality of their work products will fluctuate based on the groups perception, real or not, of managements respect for the end product.If multiple layers of segmented management, both mid level and higher, is openly engaged in power positioning as opposed to results, the end product will always suffer. The nature of the "product" does not matter
Look around your company or workplace, or just to use a universal US example, look at your grocery store.Unless you are disabled, you require little direct contact with the majority of the employees there, except the check out counter.But you can always tell if the management is good or not based on the attitudes of the employees, the cleanliness of the store, and the number, large or small, of outdated foods on the shelves or "mistakes" in pricing.
While the long playing show by media and politicians of attacking LEOs failures is entertaining,,no attempt to report their successes will be shown to the public at large.It is the nature of the job. Having endured many years of that , I will tell you that making the LEOs the pariah is an idiotic reaction to the current situation.
I believe cumulative lethal errors were made by numerous individuals, and I also believe a thorough housecleaning is in order.I do not believe much will be accomplished by the CYA mode our government is displaying according to the "media".While it makes for lurid headlines, it does little to solve the problems we, as a nation face. While I may not personally know an individual in one of the LEOs,I do know the environment they are forced to work in is the same as a badly run corporation. I also believe the majority of them do the best they can, under the circumstances.They are us.We did not import LEO members from another planet.As a military veteran of an ostriscized specialty, I wish the civilian LEOs had the opportunity to shed their dead weight in the manner I was prepared to implement, if necessary.
