CameTrue 3/22/15 RED ALERT: National Rally & the War Failed!

[Nanny]

Bingo! Great find for "soldier fail."

This is an important one, and runs alongside my utopian hope that soldiers would just not show up to the next fight:

"More than half of some 770,000 soldiers are pessimistic about their future in the military and nearly as many are unhappy in their jobs, despite a six-year, $287 million campaign to make troops more optimistic and resilient, findings obtained by USA TODAY show.


-- Forty-eight percent or about 370,000 soldiers showed a lack of commitment to their job or would have chosen another if they had it to do over again. Only 28% felt good about what they do.

-- About 300,000 soldiers or nearly 40% didn't trust their immediate supervisor or fellow soldiers in their unit or didn't feel respected or valued. Thirty-two percent felt good about about bosses and peers."


"Retired vice admiral Norb Ryan, head of the Military Officers Association of America, and Joyce Raezer, executive of the National Military Family Association, said the results are not surprising. Fourteen years of war and recent decisions to downsize or cut funding for the military have left morale low, they said."


Excuses, excuses. Lemme explain something. Decisions to downsize and cut funding don't decrease morale in the lower rung. These are the things that cut morale in the decision-making corpse, the generals and colonels. Basically what happened in the Army is a $248M brainwashing program, hoping to defy Nature. Their positive psychology program sounds great on paper, but what's really happening here is one big contradiction. Hey boys and girls, go out there and kill, kill, kill, and when you come home, think positively about what you've done. THERE IS A SPECIFIC REASON WHY THIS WON'T WORK, and another reason why it's disadvantageous for it try and make it work. DON'T DEFY NATURE. KARMA'S A BITCH SOMETIMES.
