Every great Marine leader endured the same hardships and shared the same risks as his men. This Marine Officers says that might not be the right course...

 *Note.  Read the whole thing.  It makes sense to me up to a point but I can see the Lt from the Aliens movie making a huge entry if followed to its ultimate conclusion.

New leaders are institutionally conditioned to lead from the front. But slogans such as “lead by example,” “lead from the point of friction,” and, most prominently, “lead from the front,” can be misleading. Taken too literally, these sayings can constitute bad advice. They can cause new leaders to confuse their purpose. Should a unit leader walk point on a patrol? Should a unit leader be the one to kick in a door or be the first Marine to make entry into a hostile building? Should a leader be the first member of his unit to go “over the top,” or to cross a wide danger area under fire? Many young leaders would emphatically say yes. Experience tells us, however, they should emphatically say no.

Like I said.  Read the whole thing but I strongly get the feeling that we're gonna see a return to the bad old days of the Vietnam war where you have Battalion Commanders flying above the fight in helos directing the action (or the modern day equivalent of them being in a command bunker watching drone feeds of the fight).

Are we to the point where Officers sit back and only Enlisted take the risks?

Kinda looks like it and surprisingly to me at least it seems like the push is coming from a Marine Officer and not some joker in the Army or Air Force.

Its weird.

Drones are replacing pilots so the officers there don't take risks.

Ground officers (artillery and infantry...tanks are gone) are heading to command bunkers.

Are we looking at a time when only NAVY OFFICERS are in the fight with those they lead...cause they're all on the same ship?

If this goes as far as it could then the "class" system between officers and enlisted will EXPLODE!
