k911sc--sometimes I feel like that guy in the picture. That was one hard-to-watch movie.
It was only my personal experience--but West Pointers, who I admire, have a tendancy to stick together and cover for each other. Sometimes this is admirable but sometimes when there are men making life and death decisions in the field who have reached their Peter Principle--own level of incompetence--they got poor farm boys killed.
I saw it first hand as they rotated "leaders" in and out on a short-term basis getting "their tickets punched" for their personnel file and career.
I've visited the wall on several occasions. I first thought that having the names listed chronologically instead of alphabetical was stupid until my first visit. I thought I had a good idea what pain was until I started seeing those names.
You would probably think talking about this would help. I just don't know.
