It wasn&#39;t because they were smarter or worked harder but they simply whipped their horses the hardest. This was horrible for retention and few who did stay in were the same after the experience but I think the biggest issue was that they made more toxic leaders.<br /><br />Why keep a toxic leader? How do you think you could change them if they are staying in? Do they bring any benefits past the short term successes? 2014-07-17T15:22:26-04:00 CPT Private RallyPoint Member 180346

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In the book &quot;three meter zone&quot;, the SGM talks about this type of leader. he refers to that type as a self preservationist, the most dangerous type of leader in the Military. I have to agree, you can spot one of these a mile away.
