Bus Fumes

Quote of the day:

His men are still going to Iraq. Only, now they'll be deployed with an officer who has neither trained them, nor trained with them, nor knows their strengths and weaknesses.

There is no 'bravery' in exposing what would have been his command to additional unnecessary dangers.

Every combat leader worth his salt that I've known, or served under, thought of the men as his lads. They were his responsibility, and By God no one else was good enough to lead them.

Just so.
