Personal Accountability. Has the military lost sight of it?

I started serving in an era when a person took responsibility for their actions. As time went on, the emphasis seemed to shift from personal accountability to a misplaced leadership responsibility role.

Don't you already know you shouldn't drink and drive? Isn't it already against the law? Why should I have to do anything for you to not get a DUI?

Anytime I see a person fail to accept responsibility for their actions I see it as a sign of weakness on their part.

Honestly, I think that some of the "blame" could also be legitimately shielded from supervisors if we could fix the evaluation system. The practice of evaluating personnel with exaggerated scores. Everyone has to be doing great... Instead of honest evaluation of where the troop stands. It does nothing to show them the value of responsible actions and thinking, encourages negative decision making, and leaves no obvious trail of attempted guidance. The "everyone's-a-winner" atmosphere makes it difficult to truely provide supervision and leadership. You can't make people paint rocks and cut grass. When eval time comes around bullets about making kids smile at the Toys for Tots and effective monitoring of the Golden Flow exam are somehow turned into positive bullets.
That being said, sometimes even great troops make horrible choices and end up in trouble... Then again, those are the troops who usually own it.
Evaluations of our men and women should be accurate and timely. They shouldn't be inflated and "touchy-feely" so that the recipient has a better chance at promotion down the road. If someone needs extra counseling and guidance, show that. If they have a reflection of improvement over each evaluation, that demonstrates growth, effective followership, and improved responsibility. If the evaluations show a repetition of poor behavior, inability to function with military bearing or within the structure required of their branch and MOS, then the trail should be reflected to reduce finger pointing and blaming of supervisors that clearly have tried to help someone that clearly is not cut out to serve.

What happened to individual responsibility and personal accountability for one's actions? People are old enough to know better. It's not the command's fault when their people get DUI's out in town. The command is right to have safety lectures before 96's etc. but human nature being what it is, you aren't going to get through to everyone. I don't in any way see that as a failure of leadership, but as individuals acting irresponsibly.
