A retired Marine 3-star general explains 'critical military theory'

Thank you for posting -- It reads in parts like a mission statement for the military. A good reminder of the fundamentals for our defense.

One statement that stood out for me was regarding "warfare dementia" --
"The condition is exacerbated and enabled when the most senior military leaders — those who ought to know better — defer to the idealistic judgments of those whose credentials are either nonexistent or formed entirely by ideology."

The other is: "Those who occupy the most senior ranks of the military must repay this selflessness with courage that is even rarer — moral courage"

great article

I was nowhere near the senior ranks being discussed here, but I wholeheartedly agree with everything being said here.

I have said it in other locations on this forum, I don't care whether the Soldier is black, white, red, yellow, or purple with pink polka dots. I don't care if they loud, quiet, short, tall, smart, dumb, or how much education they have.

Can they do they job? Can they do it well, and can they do it RIGHT? Those are the ONLY things that matter.
