@Doctrine_Man The old way has become new again. This approach is not novel. Stabilization is one piece, we need to look at all the conditions we have created, such as the divisional alignment and deployments to Europe and other commitments.
@Doctrine_Man I also remember a time when you could catch your flight without seeing a security barrier or checkpoint. And how about schools without police officers. Those days are long gone.
@Doctrine_Man If the article is factual, the Army set the conditions and requirements (contract) for the contractor to serve in an Army hospital/clinic and provide a service to its Soldiers. However, I'm not surprised that the Army provider would deny accountability. Pretty typical and sad.
@Doctrine_Man @TaskandPurpose I really feel for the crew of the Finn. This type of turbulence is not what they signed up for. The Navy should take stock of their decisions and what lead them to this point. Obviously, what has brought them to this point is what they want.
@Doctrine_Man I have one it's brothers hanging proudly in my office as well. Along with my Brigade coin that I carried in my pocket during the invasion.
@Doctrine_Man Unfortunately, the services are a reflection of our society and inspite screening, values training, and military regulations, we are never going to be able to screen out 100% of individuals who continue to maintain habits that are incongruent with the military or civil laws.
