This is an excellent piece, I believe. It ignores the noise about dei issues in the military and strikes far deeper, if all too politely:
Senior
Army officials could immediately improve by critically examining the “unquestioned
assumptions that form the basis of…American grand strategy,”
reevaluating military officer professional
development models,
and understanding how misaligned
military incentive structures work
against achieving policy goals. Regardless of the approach, it should be laser-focused on delivering the ethical, effective and efficient service to the nation mentioned above.
I
am not sure the Army can solve its problem alone. It is a functional part of a profoundly corrupt system. We will know that an environment where moral reform is possible when the political system can deal with dissent objectively and its leaderships propose
candidates, for the presidency for example, that are not morally, intellectually and physically either broken or repugnant, or both.
