Great post, my son and nephew, both on active duty thank you for this post. There is much wrong with our military structure and procurement policies, but 99.5% of the people are excellent. About one half of one percent {or less} of those in the military are scum bags, much lower than in civilian life. Rummy and others are trying to fix the structure and policies but those congress critters are also a hugh part of the problem.
Please tell your son and nephew that I said
Thank You for your service to our country.
