active duty. but i have noticed that as of late the Army has REALLY lowered its standards and the quality of soldiers that are graduating BCT has gone way down hill, there has always been afew boneheads here and there but it seems the number is increasing. there is a quote that i really liked that the Fsgt of the 626 used to say and i think it speaks for alot of people...
"If you won't take action, you have no right to complain about the actions taken." i think that sums it all up, Hooahh
i like your post here, i still live by the 7 Army values even though i'm no longerHellRazor;710109 said:I agree. You have a lot more to fear from your elected officials in Washington D.C. than you do from the average Soldier.
Soldiers on average are just people, mostly patriotic ones, who are trying to do a good job for America and to do the right things.
The Armed Forces are one of the few professions in the U.S. who are required to undergo regular training in the areas of ethics, equal opportunity, sexual harrassment, etc. For the Army, the Army Values are a part of our creed.
Are there bad apples? Sure, there are bound to be a few. But they are the extreme minority.
Ask yourself this. What generates more hits for a news site, pictures and stories about the thousands of average Soldiers doing their job and providing day-to-day security in Iraq? Or the one or two assholes caught abusing their power or making a boneheaded decision?
