Well folks, you're now observing the programmed, positive stupidity that makes it impossible for the modern military to achieve victory. The guys who won WWII are now dead and gone. I knew a guy who personally repaired shot up planes in the Pacific Theater by using concrete to close up the holes. As soon as the concrete dried, the planes went back into the air. I doubt if the Pentagon weenies even knew what was happening, but then if they had, the policy then was much more inclined to appreciate success than to ask for another report in triplicate. Our fighting men didn't have to wait to see if some general could decide if a procedure would advance his career or not ruffle the feathers of a general who might be on a board he needed approval from. Everyone needs to realize that the health, comfort and safety of our fighting men means absolutely nothing to the higher ups in our military structure. Billy Mitchell has been dead for many years, and no one will yet tell me why Capt Eddie Rickenbacher was never promoted beyond that rank. He was Air Force not Navy. So don't ever be concerned with the mission or the welfare of the men. Just be sure that the proper behinds receive the proper attention. That is the secret to rank and success.
