You make a good point, but it isn't the enlisted's fault. It's the command's fault. From the division command up through the Joint Chiefs, it's all political. Wars sometimes change that to a degree, but this last one has lasted so long, it's practically on auto-pilot. So, they're constantly jockeying for positions of power. In the days of yore, officers were fighters not politicians.

The late, great Col. Dave Hackworth called them the “perfumed princes” and yes, as oath breakers, they are traitors to themselves, their families, their commands and the nation.

The soundtrack of collapse is the multitude arguing over whom is at fault.

Yeah dude! Triumph, Rush, and Bahamas, the Canadian Whalers; dam we gave up our guns. Collapse is around you, don't get confused. I lost mine in a lake.
