Is the Army as a whole really best served by depriving men of good commanders for these types of reasons?
Leadership making removal decisions should be limited to those who have been fired at by the enemy withing the last 365 days. Then, perhaps, I would have some respect for their authority.

Although I've often regretted that I did not serve, I've always had "authority issues." Ah then, that's what basic training is for, isn't it.
