Should active duty leaders be evaluated by how well their troops succeed in getting a civilian job the first year post-ETS?

Should active duty leaders be held responsible by their raters if they don't ensure their troops are prepared for success as civilians? I'm sure some military leaders limit civilian job search activities because they want their troops to focus on their current mission. However, many military leaders aren't qualified to help their troops get a job they haven't held themselves. What do you think?

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
No, a leader shouldn't be held accountable for how ex-service members do on the outside. Going civilian is a different mind set where many of the attitudes and military ways don't work as well with some civilian employers. The "leadership" can put the information forward to service members leaving, make it available to them, but it doesn't mean they will be successful.

Second that statement. Thats just one more item of the many many items in the Army that command teams are blamed for and accountability is relieved from the individual.

Active duty leaders should be evaluated on how prepared their units are to engage and destroy our adversaries or support others who are engaging and destroying our adversaries, while taking minimal casualties.
That said, there are other activities which should be helping troops prepare for the civilian world. The education center, career counselors, ACAP, and others should be helping soldiers prepare for civilian life.
