Took me until now too open it up….. Tough too witness. Just glad too see he made the right choice. Kudos too the former paratrooper who talked him down….

How the nation’s Corps of Marines has lost its way
Unlike force structure and equipment, which can be rebuilt if lost, ethos, once extinguished, is gone forever.

I like it. Call out the brass. Lead from the front. Lead by example. Most of the brass I encountered couldn't pass a PT test. Almost never took a PT test with the company. We did have a battalian commander take one with us once. I smoked the entire company and battalian commander on the run. He wanted to know my training regimen because he was some big runner. I said "Sir, sometimes my dog gets loose and he's a runner. I chase him once or twice a year. Otherwise I run 2 miles a year for Uncle Sam." It was fantastic. He chuckled and we chatted a bit. It didn't take long for him to figure out I could haul the mail without much training.
Back on point: I'm sure less deployments helps. Good call on that one. I do think leading by example and being involved with the troops does great things for moral.
