>One must recall that in 1941, our whole military apparatus was hollowed out and largely filled with men who had little or no combat experience, except for some salty old sergeants and a number of captains and majors who had seen trench warfare, but were unready for massive air and sea assaults. Somehow, a sufficiently large number of men, between 1942 and 1945, learned all the essential and necessary skills.
The officer corps we had in place before World War 2 was the group we won the war with. We winnowed out the bad ones and promoted the good ones. Obama fired everyone decent officer we had and replaced them with Marxists or PC screw ups. We’d have to winnow them all and start over.
“We’d have to winnow them all and start over.”
What is wrong with starting tomorrow?
