The Nanny Commandant strikes again.

Ya know the time is rapidly coming when assigning a Marine to walk point or to be placed on a work detail is going to be called hazing.

And we're going to have the Nanny Commandant to blame for it.  Check out this misery from Military.com.

SASEBO NAVAL BASE, Japan -- In an effort to stamp out the “cancer” that is hazing, the Marine Corps has updated its hazing policy to include more officer accountability as well as information and instruction for those affected, Marine officials said this week.
Gen. James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, ordered an update to the 1997 policy in an attempt to bring the Marine Corps in line with Navy guidance and to rein in what he called a “leadership issue” following several high-profile cases of hazing in the ranks.
Military leaders were on Capitol Hill on Thursday to discuss hazing with members of the House Armed Services Committee on Military Personnel. At that hearing, Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., pleaded for an end to the culture of hazing.
The new Marine Corps policy now defines hazing as “any conduct whereby a military member or members, regardless of service or rank, without proper authority causes another military member or members to suffer or be exposed to any activity which is cruel, abusive, humiliating, oppressive, demeaning or harmful.”

The current policy works.

This is overkill.

We are rapidly approaching a point where every leader will spend more time second guessing themselves.  

Many will worry more about the potential for punishment from action rather than be concerned about the consequences of INACTION.

Things are bad bat fans.

Amos is making them worse.
