Get rid of dumbing down, decrease civilian influence, decrease media access, remove politics.

Uniform changes might need its own category. Take the flight cap for example. It's basically an envelope to absorb sweat. Never has there been a less functional thing to cover your noggin... until the beret came along.

Too much complaining, and allowing it. Nowadays The complainer gets their way, even though it's THEM slowing the mission, failing the mission, failing the team. BUT I guess people's feelings getting hurt over every little thing and "making them feel better" or "giving them a break" takes presidence over the mission itself..that's what today's era portrays. And it's sad.

The leadership. Every leader I have met needs something adjusted. It could be attitude, knowledge, self worth. I have met some that could not understand how a soldier could have any mental problems at all. If the soldier asked for help, they would find any way possible to punish the soldier. And no one else up the chain stopped it. He did this to two different soldiers. A different NCO would call in due to an illness in the family and a lower enlisted soldier would have to cover the shift. He did this multiple times. Then there was one NCO that made one soldier work 6 days a week, every week for a month. This NCO only worked maybe three days a week. There should be leadership to help guide a soldier. Or leadership that a soldier could turn to for help, knowledge, or even opinion. Leadership should know their soldier enough to know if the soldier needs help. So many soldiers are suffering and they have no where to turn. What line can these soldiers turn to? Who is suppose to help them, if not leadership?

The current retirement system. Luckily I was Grandfathered. 20 plus years equals a pension.
