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!
How are women allowing this?
The only thing that makes sense is that they're trying to kill women's sports, beauty pagents etc...Otherwise this is just batshit crazy! There has to be a plan behind all this or else we're truly seeing the educated but stupid rule the world.Ladies, with a lifetime supply of McDonald's AND a penis.. you too can win a beauty pageant! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/wRyp99WfhT

ELBIT has built a hunter/killer drone to attack INDIVIDUAL infantrymen...the future battlefield will be too lethal for humans
What happens when terrorists get a few? What happens when they push the tech and you can send it out into an area to target a certain person for assasination? What happens if this falls into the hands of civilians with grudges?New small 'autonomous' & lethal drones for search & destroy missions from Israel 🇮🇱. @theragex @jpg2t785 pic.twitter.com/KGr1lWqbfH

A few thoughts on the war in Ukraine after Russians pulled out of Kherson...
As God is my witness the way the Russians are fighting the war in Ukraine makes no sense.
A reader pointed out that withdrawing from Kherson is weird and I agree.
Want another kick in the pants?
Russia was RAVAGING Ukrainian power grids and energy production centers with the influx of Iranian drones.
Then they stopped.
I don't understand how they are fighting this thing.
When it comes to actual fighting on the ground that too is a mystery. They've been at it almost a year and they still aren't fighting as combined arms teams. The much vaunted Russian armored and armored infantry teams still aren't working together.
Even their attack helos are operating as singles or SMALL groups.
The masters of mass attacks are doing anything but. Even if they assaulted in a dispersed manner across a broad front and consolidated on an objective ---- that I could understand, but these penny packets of assaults and defense is confusing as hell.
Lastly the UAV war is weird to me.
On the Russian side I get it. At least I understood the battle plan when they were going after the power grid with loitering munitions (I still consider them UAVs)
The Ukrainians however are using UAVs to attack INDIVIDUAL soldiers on the battlefield (saw a vid of a lone soldier being "grenaded" from a UAV and somehow surviving 3 separate attacks!).
The only thing that I can figure is that they're marshalling their forces for a max effort push later this winter.
Has anyone ever heard of the worst massacre in US history? I hadn't...
I'm not one to slam the US. Not one to imagine that we're evil beyond belief. I do want to know the truth however. The US has been victorious on many if not most occassions and the victor writes the history. But to know the truth you have to take the good with the bad. Sorta like family history. Some family members are notable and did many great things. Some are just sorry bastards. The same applies to our nation's history. Sometimes we were heroic and did God's work. Sometimes we were Satan. Its just the human condition.I am writing a book about a single photograph taken during the worst massacre in U.S. history - one that few people have ever heard of. In March 1906, American forces killed more than 1000 local Muslims, including women and children, at Bud Dajo in the southern Philippines. pic.twitter.com/jRbqIclPBg
