Trouble with old guys (60+) is that they really don’t like to be told what to do, and they are no longer impressed by empty heads with fancy titles and gold braid.

So your idea might be detrimental to the current command structure!

Exactly. When it comes to infantry, they like them young and dumb.

This is exactly the same reason why the high tech (and other industries) don’t like engineers over 45 to 50.

At this age, I’m really short of patience with incompetence and arrogance.

And having talked at length with young men who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, our military higher ranks have an abundance of both. The field grade officers get good marks, but the clowns from LTC on up? Pure, distilled stupidity.

That might be a good thing. I can’t tell which side our government is on and the problem seems to be spilling over into the military as well.

So true, I'm 62 and I don't crap from anyone anymore.
