The article sounds a lot like what my son (E-4) says the Army WANTS, and he returned from Afghanistan in Dec 2011. It isn’t what he DID, but he has lost confidence in his superiors. He said he will not re-enlist, period. His comment?
“I don’t want to die for something I don’t understand.”
Can you imagine Soldiers saying the same thing upon returning from Korea or Vietnam?
This is hardly a unique situation or mindset in our country’s or military’s history.
