[QUOTE="Br. Martin, post: 75497586, member: 431384"] My Drill Sergeant at Fort Jackson told me years ago: [I]"they shovel the [/I][ expletive ] [I]from the streets and dump it here and demand we fix it." [/I] As COL Hackworth stated in his book ABOUT FACE, progressive-minded GO's demanded "reform", essentially surrendering command and control from the warfighters to the Pentagon-bound ticket punchers who would apply a civilian fix-all of "dog and pony shows" and "jumping through psychological hoops" which impressed the fifth estate but left the problem unsolved: the problem of GIs high on drugs would [I]stay[/I] high on drugs. There was a way out, per [I]Legion Etrangere.[/I] [I]"We can fix em"[/I] my DS said, hands on hips, moving dirt around with his spit-shined jump boots, [I]"but it would damn sure require use of fists on our part to do it, and we could, but command wouldn't stand for it. If they don't deal with it now [/I][ and they didn't ][I] these young men wont survive it [/I][ insecurity of civilian life ]." [/QUOTE]
