It does make you wonder what conversations the senior NCO corps inside of DC have been having.

The Army's new initiative "This is My Squad," seems to make huge efforts to allow males to wear nail polish, rules that no longer refer to "mohawk" hair cuts and fu man chu mustaches in favor of just calling them "extreme" hairstyles it's just failing at things like actually TAKING CARE OF SOLDIERS
Its why Fort Hood is so thoroughly fucked
Its why troops deployed to the Peoples Democratic Republican District of Columbia have no exit strategy
Its why those same troops spent so much time living in a parking garage
Its why those same troops are being fed trash that would never make its way into a prison cafeteria without causing a lawsuit
But hey, "this is my squad"

-Do you sit down with your squads?
-Do you spend time with them?
Do you care that they are sleeping in a parking garage and eating raw chicken as a component of political optics?

-When you think of 'my squad,' you think of something positive you do every day to take care of each other...
-We want to build a committed organization that's founded in a cohesive team built-in trust...
-That's the goal: to understand the people around you, you're going to find something about the person sitting next to you that you never knew...
Hey big sarge, I'll bet you never knew I hate eating raw chicken while being exploited for political gain!!

-The job of a squad leader is a constant cycle of training and mentorship
Here, let me show you how to complain to your hometown news station about your shoddy leadership private

-Repetition and discipline over time builds cohesive teams that can be adaptive
Getting fucked by your leaders often enough and you'll get used to being exploited for political gain
