The Truth Hurts: Your Military Experience Means Nothing

I remember over 20 years ago sitting in a military club on reserve training watching soldiers partying and thinking the military should not be the subculture it is becoming.

Civilians are so far removed from what the military does and it’s so far away, they lack understanding and interest. Unlike the World War II generation who knew what they were fighting for, it’s become murkier even for those involved in the mission MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.

I later found out two of the people who were hired as managers were recent college grads. Yeah, the had leadership experience all right.
