Anti-Intellectualism In The Army

[Ken White]

Amazing how well that works -- but generally only on the right kind of people...

And that's a good thing.

Added: Whoops, Ol' Reed snuck in ahead of this slow hunt and pecker. Yes.

The 'challenge' was directed at Schmedlap's comment above and was to be issued to guys with really short hair to get 'em to go to Princeton and to guys with a Doctorate in Scorpolostopical Studies to get them to learn to enjoy yelling 'Hooah!'

That, a challenge, will work with a lot of good guys -- though not with all. Further, as Reed says:

"...You can not have every officer be good at everything. It is part of the problem of the current officer promotion system. "

That is a very true statement -- if the force is to be manned at current levels or if an increase is possible or needed.

Cut the size of the force (a possibility but certainly another thread) and you can get enough masters of all things but I do not believe it possible at current strengths.
