Sorry to hear your frustrations - in some ways I can relate, but nothing compares to putting our young men and women in harms way because of egos and incompetence. I think that is criminal, but except for a few cases, very hard to prove and punish appropriately. Although, the best punishment would be to put those people on an active front line unequipped and let them try to deal with it - without putting any regulars in harms way because of their inability to manage a bad situation.
