Looks like a good move to make Army life more appealing for families, while building up the esprit typically found in the Marines and elite forces. Wonder why it took so long to move to this approach.

This sure would have made a difference to my family 20-30 years ago. Sounds like a good idea. I hope it works.

"Preston emphasized what Army leaders call the “Warrior Ethos” and the mantra, “Every Soldier is a rifleman,” as the keys to “Individual Transformation.” "

So the Army wants to become the Marine Corps. "Every Marine is a Rifleman" is one of the Marine's mottos.

I knew the Army of One -and black berets made in China were
just a steppingstone. I hear the UN will design the new
uniforms,and revamp the UCMJ to comport with our Eurofag
oligarchy of Despots that now runs everyhting including the Congress-and the Executive.

I agree-but I wish the Army would execute that murderer
Hasan Akbar--and dismiss all charges against the Army Medic they claim murdered a severely wounded Iraqi.IF A Judge in
Florida can order a disabled woman to die as that State will not allow a dog or a convicted murderer be put to death--then an Army Medic in a hotzone ought be accorded the same power over life and death. And that Akbar-if demented(an I agree anyone who submits to Islam is demented)
ought have some heroe slip some liv egrenades into his sleeping quarters so justice could be served.Thou shall not
suffer a murderer to live.
