Looking after the men

One of the things military life teaches you is lesson no.1:  look after your men and the men will look after you.  Maybe  one of our current problems is that there is no draft, and this means that the people who are headed to run companies and be the movers and shakers of the world have never had to think about “looking after the men”.   It is everyone for himself and herself.  This way the glue eventually comes unstuck.  Somehow or other the civilian “officer class” needs to re-learn the lessons of thinking about others.
