Reiland’s Mission Unaccomplished : /p> p>I’m not surprised but I am disgusted about the medical care scandal. As a retired Army NCO I can tell you this. The organization culture (as opposed to the military culture) rewards “managers” with awards and promotions for creating situations like this. Especially under Rummy’s regime. Cutting costs at the cost of troop’s welfare is an old and time honored tradition. They sit around in meetings giving wonderful PowerPoint presentations about their great work and rake in the MSMs and LOMs for screwing over real soldiers. And move on to their next promotion. Kiley resigned but how do you think he became a 3 star General? The military has too many managers but not enough leaders. After all they learn from our elected officials. br> — Chris Buckley br> Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, Retired
