CPT Private RallyPoint Member 110322 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While the title could have been a bit more PC, I think it gets the point across. It seems that we have so many in the ranks these days that can no longer do their job as a result of decisions they have made on their own. We push the PT failure PT programs as opposed to letting Soldiers go. In a force that is trying to meet new manning criteria, which programs need to stay or go? I am all for providing assistance to those that need it most; to those that have made major sacrifices to the military and the country. Why do we continue to carry those that simply weren't meant for the military? Again, not intended to offend, but I recognize that it may. The goal is discussion. I realize that many may resort to the cliché, "it's the leader's fault" as they attempt to explain why Soldiers are failing, but lets take into account that Soldiers make decisions on their own. 2014-04-24T18:45:42-04:00 CPT Private RallyPoint Member 110322

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good question. I think that the big Army has to make some broad policies, while they power down to leaders at all level to know the individual and help make the best choices based on knowing the individual.
