Not during my 11 1/2 years ending in 98 they didn't. I pray that the services bench all their politically correct MANAGERS and bring in the fellows we classify as WARRIORS to lead our troops into battle. The fellows who are labled as "Break glass,..........in case of Emergengy".

That's the problem. They did when I served 1968-70.

I served mostly infantry '69-'79. Got out before the big changes. I have difficulty imagining an effective civil infantry. Some jobs take brute animals to perform. There were clubs in Vietnam that had "no infantry allowed" signs on their doors. After a little griping about it, the signs actually increased morale of the infantry.

Yeah, but we'll have to find them first. Most of our warriors who know what a real war is about are retired, or are very senior NCOs and officers. Maybe we could get Congress to pass an H1-B visa extension so we can import some Israeli, South African, or former Rhodesian NCOs? Just an idea.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
