This comes from Task & Purpose, where a Marine Veteran talks about getting rid of the divide between Officers and Enlisted.
In the article he brings up some good points and makes a good argument for moving in the direction of getting rid of divide. Personally, I don't see it exactly as he does but that is the great thing about forums.
So I bring it here to RallyPoint, where we have gotten rid of the divide to a point to see what you all think. So should we get rid of the divide? Does it still serve a purpose to maintain it?

No. How can an officer send men in harm's way if he is too invested in them as persons. Officers need to "love" them as soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen, not as individual personalities. Likewise, enlisted members need to know that an officers decisions are based on what is best for the mission and them, that favoritism is not a factor.

Good question! My opinion is no. Without the division there would be less than desirable as far as order and discipline.

Officers and enlisted personnel serve different functions; both are necessary to mission success.

Every Corps and Cohort has its own place and function. There is a right of passage to transition between corps. The WO Cohort is an extremely tight-knit group and to earn the right to wear the dot is something Warrants take very seriously. The delineation should remain, not only for function and discipline but for camaraderie as well.

Yes we should! Officers need to stay out of NCO Business! Keep it Old School!
