Let's be fair here. It would be foolish to think every individual in the armed services are lock step in opinion. However, CRH911S is too quick to show his bias and read what he wants into Cpl. Bradley Warren's comments.
- The Cpl's is simply stating that he works on carrying out specific short-term tasks, and not in planning and implementing long term strategies. He's interested in hearing Cheny's perspective on how the larger picture is progressing. This is no different than a staff worker in the private sector asking the CEO how things are progressing.
- I'm sure those attending the round table were picked by their superiors. It’s only natural they’d pick those who would make a good impression of, themselves, their immediate superiors, and the Marines in general. After all would you pick a malcontent on your staff to eat lunch with your CEO?
- It's interesting how the poster got from one "troop", to "troops"....
