Posted by WillD on Sun Mar 1 15:57:50 2015 A fascinating article in The Atlantic which makes the point that our treatment of active duty soldiers as distant, infallible heroes despite severe systemic failings and runaway costs benefits nobody.The Tragedy of the American Military In particular the vanishingly small number of Americans in the military removes the impact war has on the population and potentially leads to runaway costs and more frequent involvement in war. The DoD has a lot of work to do recovering from the Iraq and Afghanistan debacle and our attitude toward our soldiers makes that harder. |
