It's your fault

1SG Cj Grisham, I’ve always liked President Truman’s thoughts on acceptance of responsibility. His philosophy was simple and clear. As an Army artillery officer in WWI, I like to think the Army helped imbue him with and develop this ethos. However, I’m fairly certain that in all likelihood that’s the type of man he was when he entered the Army (National Guard).
“On more than one occasion President Truman referred to the desk sign in public statements. For example, in an address at the National War College on December 19, 1952, President Truman said, ‘You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you -- and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here -- the decision has to be made.’ In his farewell address to the American people given in January 1953, President Truman referred to this concept very specifically in asserting that, ‘The President--whoever he is--has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job.’”

Taking responsibility for ones choices is the hallmark of maturity. It's also the most fundamental requirement of leadership. Lastly, those who do not take responsibility for the consequences of their actions are not fit to practice liberty. Rights and responsibilities are the obverse sides of the same coin and cannot be separated.

I really like the philosophy of the Navy Seals.
