The problem will always be willpower. An army without vision and willpower is an army that will waste it's ammo, lose it's surprise, purchase half-assed products, fail to maintain them, and so on.

When the IDF had it, we kicked enough ass to crawl out of the darkness. When these same ISIS thugs you worry about had vision, it carried them against the entire neighborhood and could only be deterred by truly unbeatable NATO air bombardment (which big picture still could be waited out).

Willpower and vision are a component in all choices that carry armies forward. Or backward if they should so choose.

This would be one of those choices. We could say it lacks vision but I think the vision is clear: get a boss role and let underlings struggle while you enrich at their expense. The same vision can be found in the job market where everyone wants to be a boss.

On the subject of operationally induced breakdowns: any GWOT or US MILITARY Veteran knows better than to criticize other people’s liquid diets, nuff said.

It’s not about fandom.

It’s about the code of silence. 🤠

If you politic your way into a position where lives depend on you, and your drinking is a problem, there's no code of silence.
