They've always been the big Daddy for everyone that wasn't totally stovepiped -- that's not new.

Trusting subordinates? Deconfliction of tangled responsibilities?

The best quote of the conference was from an 06 from HQDA :"Are we really this ####ing stupid?" Uh, yes, we are.
Sigh, again. This is all a plot to make my gray hair go away so I look like Tom and Steve...
