Post; "Do more with less Mantra" Costing American lives


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SITREP: Free World Soldiers

Excerts follow:

senior U.S. military leaders who ride around in staff cars a lot surrounded by yes-men staffs and spend little unscripted time with the troops and want everyone to stay in their social and battlefield "place".

War and Anti-War : Making Sense of Today's Global Chaos
by Alvin Toffler, Heidi Adelaide Toffler

The book is very popular among those in the DOD elite. This book, this kind of thinking is dangerous, and actually captures the root of the problem in the Free World Military. How the "Do More With Less" Mantra Kills American Soldiers.

Shinseki's Initiatives are flawed, include Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz. General Tommy Franks, and General Gavin "their future is now" "out of the box thinkers", Read the Blog.

Tofflerians actually think "we can do more with less", this mantra enables them to skimp on Army ground maneuver/protection via rubber-tired wheeled vehicles.


[b]Wolfowitz's & his DoD team refuses to admit their philosophy of war is a failure and to adapt is by definition hypocrisy.

Bureaucrats live on "people skills." This is how they survive in their world. It means heaps and heaps of arse kissing.
Honest assessment gives way to "yes yes, you're totally right."
It's disgusting.
