Has the Army become too hyper focused on SHARP, online training, suicide prevention, & social experiments that preparing for combat suffers?

Every commander, and every staff officer and NCO are familiar with the need to create a unit-specific METL, sequencing those essential tasks in order of importance, knowing that there is never enough time or resources to train everything. Once you have the task list in proper order, you can allocate training time and resources to those tasks that are most important and most need to be trained.

But before you draw that line, you have to first take your list and bump over a dozen mandatory training requirements up to the top of the list because while marksmanship or tactics might be important, they are obviously not as important as ensuring that every private can balance his or her checkbook and has memorized the latest updated list of words that someone somewhere might consider offensive.
