You can make that claim all day and night but it doesn't mean it's true. I would add that even military ops change over time and where you are in the food chain matters.old salt wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:46 pmIf you never served, you can't be expected to understand the importance of the chain of command. The military is different.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:33 pm The sheer intransigence of this debate at this point is making it a little dumb. I was engaged a little but mainly to understand if the (retired and former) military crew would even acknowledge Modly's actions and behavior which had mixed results. They all still work tirelessly to lay all blame at Crozier's feet and support a guy who clearly isn't fit to be at the top of the command structure which is stunning to me. The rest is just noise.
Stupid parts:
MD would choose Crozier over Modly as a leader. First off he hasn't even explicitly said that was in the realm of military service, he may have meant that, but I took it to mean in the world writ large where this notion of never breaking the chain of command does not exist. Why the other side insists his comments only refer to in this microcosm of the country is unclear to me.
Retired and former military service folks are acting like jerks, repetitive and trying to shout over folks, with the same refrain that the only thing that matters is the chain of command. I highly doubt folks in suits or with a lot of stars and in boardroom type meetings strategizing and planning spend on 1/1100th the time spent here discussing this aspect of it all and there are many other considerations well above their collective pay grade which means they're still speculating as much as anyone else.
No one is moving one inch. Continue to build that carpal tunnel here, but man the conversation looks like a metaphor for the Rock of Gibraltar.
Carry on.
MD said he'd prefer to follow Crozier over Modly into battle, not the board room. Hair style matters.
Also, that applies to our homeboy at 1600 Pennsy
Classic mistake of conflating domain knowledge with comprehensive expertise. And before someone surely bugs out about this post, also understand, if capable of doing so, that respect for acts/actions/service is not the same as evaluation of a persons overall ability to be trusted or believed. I have a cousin who talks all sorts of crap about military, good guy, all over FB lecturing others on this realm and yet I know for a fact he was discharged not dishonorably or honorably, something else, but it was because he was shot in the leg while serving on a base in SoCal while also some how running a side hustle limo service business front for selling weed and was shot from a issue involving said side hustle business. I love him and all that but I still question his judgement when he talks military.
