Very true. My organization gets a new commander every four years. Their first step is always a top down review of existing policy and procedures. Before too long the new commander has placed their stamp on the organization. Quite often it doesn't look exactly like the previous command.
She is a disgrace to the uniform and should never have gone as far as she did. We need to take back our Armed Forces!
When you have an incompetent person who is supposed to be in charge...that creates a situation with no discipline and low morale.
Its not just in the military either. If in XYZ corporation they put in some ninny who is an ass and can't perform, how is that going to effect everyone else? At least if they are likeable (not an ass) people will be more prone to listen even if they are not the strongest of leader. Then though you end up with a power struggle...
If the ninny is a co-worker thats one thing. If they are the boss, its nothing but trouble.
She is a disgrace to the uniform!
"The American general who was in charge of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison claimed she was being made a scapegoat for the abuse of detainees, and said her successor once told her that prisoners should be treated "like dogs." "
The implication of 'scapegoat' is that she did nothing wrong. She supposed to be able to think for herself to some degree. She was wrong and has to accept the responsibility. I would not be surprised if there were others that should be court-marshaled who just happened to be better at covering their own backsides. The 'like dogs' remark could very easily be taken out of context and who cares what he said anyway? He wasn't the one on duty.
She's the weakest link! What an utter disgrace.
She sure wasn't one.
Please read Maj. General investigation of the 800th Brigade.

Her higher ups asked if she needed any assistance in training her MP's. She refused the offer.
Scroll down to the bottom. "Regarding Part three of investigation, I make the following specific findings of fact." #4. The Brig. General was aware of the problems but decided not to use resources available for her to train her troops properly or something like that.
She screwed up. She is trying to find a scapegoat to blame it on.
"She sure put the knife in her successor. She should show up in the enemy forces sub paragraph of one of our Opords."
Her United States military career may be over, however, she does fit the requirements for a position on Hillry's Armed Services Committee staff.
Karpinski is unqualified to run a lemonade stand.
Yeah, but these personnel know that they're going to be found guilty -- it's a lot tougher to fool the people involved in a court martial as opposed to a jury. Anyhow, they figure they'll try to take down Bush with them.
