A letter to the next US president: Here’s how you can fix our military
By Stuart Scheller
Jan 30, 04:00 PM
The criticality of organizational screening, training and selection of senior leadership is of the upmost importance, writes Stuart Scheller. (Cpl. Tyler W. Abbott/Marine Corps)
Sport teams ironically illustrate what the military has forgotten: The best players always should be selected from a diverse population after a performance-based selection process.
The NFL’s combine is a great example. While it doesn’t always predict the best performers, it’s hard to imagine the NFL only picking players based on subjective recommendations from college coaches or external needs for inclusion.

Maybe looking 8 years down the road, secession will be the game plan for many states. Texas has nominated its own Border Czar. A " minor Break " from Federal Czar of immigration.

I pretty well disagree with most of the complaints, particularly, "the military’s inability to achieve political objectives in Vietnam, Beirut, Somalia, Kosovo, Libya, Iraq or Syria should clearly indicate a team needing new leadership."
To continue the person's sprots metaphor, we shouldn't blame our NFL team for being sent to win the World Series and not doing so. Militarily we did well and even exceptional in those conflicts. But nation building is where things started to fall apart in almost all of those examples. The military isn't the right tool for that and that isn't the fault of the military leadership. Instead it is the fault of the political leadership by trying to use the wrong tool for the job and setting up the military to fail.
