Man, what a great read. No amount of gratitude could come close to how I feel towards his & everyone of those guys & gals that go into harms way.
Thank you.
That said.
With all that's said & done about the logistics involved in the day to day operations of all our military, I think we waste so much of our military resources on BS. The cost of doing business is just utter waste. I'm of course not talking about the souls who do the labor, but the ones running the show. I feel for everyone who puts on the uniform that has to follow orders. I was just a 55B back in 91 & seen, firsthand the BS. But when I got to my duty station, I was appalled by the utter lack of weapons training. It makes absolutely no sense for any foot soldier to not have the best training available & that means, anybody that carries a rifle, not just the infantry. If as a 55B, {or a 92G, for that matter} I'm just 20 clicks from the front lines, I want every Joe & Jane to be able to put lead down range to defend positions. The only thing I respectfully disagree with is the sidearm. If the waste was reeled in & all of our beloved government employees would take a pay cut, we would have the funds necessary to train & arm everyone on the ground with a pistol. I'm pretty sure he had to bite his tongue on a lot of issues. Our military still has the best personnel in the world, but we aren't giving them the best in terms of equipment & training. Kudos to them, for making the best of their situation.
