Spoken like an officer indeed (inferring here, could be wrong). 1. Ignores the core subject of the post and the GP's response claiming it is indicative of continued failure of leadership. 2. Generically tries to seem like there is some level of agreement without being concrete in admitting problems in any way. 3. Tries to defend Wilsonionism foreign policy (a root cause evil) by ad-homineming GP as a "disgruntled junior enlisted", and in a later post using the old-faithful "civilian leadership" excuse. 4. Defends officers generally while attacking senior enlisted (who are subject to said officers). I think you just about made the GP's point. We have billions for Ukraine and Israel and the military industrial complex (or the better put MICIMATT, by Ray McGovern), but when it comes to taking care of our junior enlisted leadership can't be bothered. Despite your generic denials it is indeed indicative of a repeated failure of leadership pattern. There is a reason recruiting is suffering massively right now... the internet makes it much harder to cover up these sort of things that got swept under the rug in the past, and a completely disconnected from the constitution foreign policy that is plain for all to see exacerbates the problem. How about we remove the plank from our own eye before we move to take the splinter out of our brothers?
