If you believe all the numbers, you have to wonder...
...why were so many people at Fort hood fired for leadership failures while so many people at Fort Bragg keep getting promoted?

I mean, I don't really wonder.
I have my own thoughts on the "why"...
...they just wouldn't be suitable for posting on an internet bulletin board.

Are they leadership failures if you get your subordinates to bury or obfuscate the results to reflect unknown causes?

I'm betting most leadership would give a good eye to go back to a wartime footing, where you were actually being rated on data that was at least somehow reflective of mission/deployment data no matter how granular.

Glad I'm retired....

Holy Shiite!!! I felt guilty because so many of us were borderline alcoholics in the 80’s. These numbers are crazy. What the hell has happened to the Army?
