“First off, if he was doing everything right, then; WHAT? The soldiers would rather follow a gung ho off the cliff than a plan to avoid being made dead? How stupid does the GI rine need to be? ".As a former GI, the issue isn’t “stupidity”, it’s confidence. Be sure of your plans and be sure your doing the right thing. A good leader will have doubts, but emote confidence to the troops and this is true in the civilian world as well..Next time you would like to refer to GIs as stupid, put down the kool aid and take a deep measured breath. Just because they’ve died so you can speak without thinking, does’t mean you should.
