Don, I see that you still can't think for yourself.


Maybe I'd be a good candidate for your army. Would you vouch for me?


No, the US model is to encourage and develop leadership at all levels of
the military. It is one of the principles that makes the US military
second to none in the world.


Really? The U.S. military has not "won" a shooting war against a signifant
enemy since WW II.

Thanks to the pussification of our military. I suspect that the "rules of
engagement" were quite a bit different when Patton was sweeping through
Germany than when our troops were operating in Vietnam (even *if* a certain
US Senator/Former patrol boat captain *did* shoot wounded unarmed
Vietnamese).
