| In a shocking turn of events, SNAFU Blog awards General Amos the Blue Falcon Award for the 3rd year in a row. Amazingly, he received 100% of the votes and if he remains in office next year is considered a strong contender for a fourth! |
A small update on the earlier story about Marine Officers writing a letter to Congress demanding an investigation into Amos' conduct as Commandant. Here are a few comments from the Marine Corps Times Facebook page....without a doubt Amos is the most despised Commandant in my lifetime. Its rather interesting because the position has an amount of "reverence" attached to it. Previously it was held in high regard and comments from rank and file Marines (at least publicly) was to defend the person in the big chair because he and the Marine Corps were one and the same. The Commandant reflected the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps reflected the Commandant.
Those days are obviously over. Its a strange time for the Marines because we are once again in need a reformer in the mold of Gray to get us back on track. I'll be sifting through General Officer bios (active) and talking to buds to see who would be SNAFU Blog's choice for the Commandant to get us out of our funk (note...I like to be radical so I'll probably extend it into even the Colonel ranks for a wildcat promotion).
