Sadly, it's true. One cannot miss the things one never had. The days of CPOs or SCPOs with red crows will never come again. We have all beomce like SAC. To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy.<br /><br />I joined for adventure. I had it in full measure and it wasn't periscope liberty of the northern Norwegian coast at 0200, it was the real deal.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-54327457746489177652015-12-18T08:24:10.277-05:002015-12-18T08:24:10.277-05:00Political correctness and careerism are destroying...Political correctness and careerism are destroying the armed forces of this country. I'm not sure what the answer is, I do know that there is a lot of deadwood in the ranks (especially in the GOFOs and senior NCO ranks) which needs to be stripped out.<br /><br />Then again, having strong leadership from an administration which knows what it's doing is a much needed first step. The fools who lead us now are weak and ineffective. Our young know this, our potential enemies know this, and our current foes know this.<br /><br />Who wants to fight for an uncaring populace with weak leaders? Who wants to die for "leaders" who don't understand nor care about reality? (How things really are, not what they wish they were.)<br /><br />Not I. Not my children. Not my grandchildren.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.com
