I have to agree with Eagle5US on this one...with one exception. But IMHO the biggest issue that some (not all) of these troops can be turned around through "Strong NCO" leadership ie:'a good kick in the ass' never hurt anybody.

There are many weak NCOs in many of the units that the problem children tend to go to. Without discipline even good units go to hell, now imagain a CS or CSS with weak NCO CoC and a whole bunch of these kids......you have a unit of shitbags!

The discipline has to start at BCT with hard charging DS who are allowed to do their job with the support of their Cmdrs. All that BS "touchyfeely TRADOC" crap need to go out the window. All soldiers need discipline and role models. The NCOs who train and lead the kids must have a low BS tolerance and maybe a copy of "Wall to wall Consuling for Beginers".

I wonder if we could get "The Purd" to come back on active duty????

Back to lurking.
