I am also pleased to see commanders are taking care of their men. That was my number gripe when I heard damn good one zeroes at CCS went before the promotion board and got laughed at. Officers- "Take care of your troops." They, the NCO's, face promotion boards. Write those words you reserve for officer's OER's on EERs. Don't think you as an officer were the lone hero. |

Ultimately, when the troops won't move, it is the officer's responsibility to get up and lead from the front and say, "folllow me". At that time the officer earns all the pay and extra perks that he has gotten. The enlisted soldier can do nothing and not be thought ill of, but the officer is held to a higher standard. As it should be. |
"It's an honor to be a Silver Star recipient, but the events that had to happen for me to get that, I’d rather not have happened,”
SGT Wilder's statement here IMO is a philosophically deep reflection and observatoon of the nature of warfare. Congradulations to all of these battle tested warriors. Glad you are all on this side! |
