Lack of leadership
Re “Two Deaths Were a ‘Clue That Something’s Wrong,’ ” second in two-part series, Sept. 25
As an American with more than 25 years of commissioned military service, I am absolutely astounded at the dearth of leadership shown by the military throughout its chain of command. The inability of these enlisted personnel and officers to follow long-established guidelines and the service’s own code of conduct is an insult to every person who has ever worn the uniform of the United States. To the officers especially I say, “Whatever happened to the simple notion of just doing the right thing?”
As citizens we must not allow this type of misconduct to continue.
