I really get a kick out of the people that respond to such stories in Military Newspapers. The latest article that I took a look at was how the Military was going to filter approximately 47,000 people out of the ranks due to a draw down of personnel coming out of the War in Iraq, and the lessening of troops in Afghanistan. The article, while meticulous in form, is written by an individual that has spent maybe three years in the Army, and has seen the same 100 soldiers since the day of his time as a leader. With this satchel of knowledge strung on his back, he has convinced himself that he now has the knowledge and skills to tell the Army his opinion of who should stay and who should go. While Freedom of Speech is a right that has been inherited by all Americans, the right to keep your thoughts to yourself is covered under Free Will, and should be exercised freely and often. It is my opinion, in contrast to the writer of this story, that O1, and O2 officers should not automatically be promoted to O3, a rank that carry's a tremendous load of responsibility, and that the O1 and O2 officers that are not recommended for O3, be voluntold to resign their commissions at the end of the fiscal year, freeing the enlisted ranks of having to put up with leadership that has not grasped the concept of being a leader.
I do agree with the young leader that P3 profile having soldiers and leaders should be medically retired, not chaptered, and not kicked out. Doing this would assist those combat veterans in getting the long term care that they need, and provide them with a retirement check while they go through the process. After all, it was not their decision to go to war, get an injury, either mental,physical, or a combination of both, and it was not their decision to pull out the soldiers from the zones of combat. Another option for utilizing these personnel is to have the WTU's become the instructor procurement agencies for the Army.
