Can we talk professionalism in the Army (Military)? Leadership failure?

I'm not sure if you've noticed but a lot has changed since you've left the service. It seems that politics has seeped down to affect even the enlisted leadership in the Chain of Command. E-7's and above are worried about one of/or two things: getting ahead or not losing their jobs. Never mind what is right, never mind the junior enlisted who are left floating in the wind without guidance. I felt that pretty strongly at my last command. I was only an E-4 when we worked together and I can't say I felt it then, or maybe you just did your job well and kept it from reaching our level. From my perspective it seems that Senior Enlisted Leadership has a lot of shaping up to do and they need to figure it out quick. I have a lot more to say on the subject, enough that I've started a blog to help vent! thisnavylifeblog.wordpress.com
