Sorry about that TAM. I didn't read your entire post and didn't see that you had already addressed that. I was throwing that out there on my own.The Annoyed Man wrote:I'm not saying they make the policy. I'm saying they set a tone, and all the generals on down conform to that tone because it enhances their career arcs......same as in any other corporate culture.C-dub wrote:It could be more a sign of the times.

Or it could be that our government has less trust in our military, but I'm not sure how that would play into this since I haven't heard anything about the civilian leaders making any of these policies.
