The Military Sacrificed National Security in Favor of Lazy Leadership

While the Department of Defense was racing against time to respond to the 9–11 attacks, to locate Osama Bin Laden, and to protect our country against further terrorism at home and abroad, U.S. military leadership was supporting and promoting campaigns to dismiss skilled service members with the ability to help. It should bother you to know that, in some cases, the reasons for their dismissals had nothing to do with their abilities to perform their jobs.

“This article isn’t about one instance of unfortunate circumstance; it’s about a system that cowers behind false claims of “fairness” and “uniformity” in order to excuse a lazy and irresponsible leadership style.”

Some of the most impressive minds in the world gather and disseminate national intelligence from their cubicles inside the National Security Agency (NSA). As with any other profession, some of the people who work there are more effective, and some of them are less effective. There are the superstars, and there are those who somehow slipped through the cracks and don’t have the ability to contribute as much.
