My dad was Army enlisted...I was not in the service...my eldest son attended college and earned his undergrad degree in the early 2010s BUT decided to enlist in Army and instead go the OCS route.

He's now achieved captain...but sadly, he's getting out of the Army early next year after only being in for about 7-8 years, PRECISELY because of what you mention about senior Army officers. He literally cannot square what HE wants to teach, and how he wants to lead, his soldiers, with what the corrupt senior leaders in Army are pushing down from the top (no doubt, those who were ushered in by Black Jesus during his reign).

It makes me sad. Because I KNOW my son is a good and just and moral leader. I know that, because his mother and I RAISED him that way. But he's had it...he's done beating his head against a brick wall with current Army leadership. It's definitely their loss.
