An observation from my perspective; GO's are surrounded by retards. Here is how I've seen it, take a Division like 1st CAV, have numerous Brigades from all over the Army supporting that Division with each Brigade sending their top mouth breather (O-3 to O-5) up the DIVHQ at BAF to work as the LNO for their Brigade. Simple, top commanders are surrounded by the worst officers (and often times NCO's) from a huge mixed bag of units most of which do not fall under that command stateside. I've been doing the advisor thing now for 10 years in both Iraq and Afghanistan (where I am right now), from Division down to squad, and it has been hard to watch or to understand the breaks between the different levels of command. I've watched time and time again LTC's and COL's outright LIE to their commanders with absolutely no repercussions. I don't know Bolger or whatever the hell his name is but it's unimportant, they come, make big plans, rarely to never make good on those plans, leave and the next guy does the same. I was just a team guy, maybe I'm just not capable of fully appreciating the awesomeness that is command level occurrences but I do look forward to never seeing it again.
