#2 All after "My opinion" is an addendum, to which I concur. Sergeants Graner and England were leadership failures at the officer level. "Men of the ranks are cunning and devious and bear close watching." This does not make them bad soldiers, just makes minding the store - or prison more critical. Blaming rankers is shameful and cowardly. Exercising effective leadership means stepping to the rear and allowing the soldier to take credit for success. It also means stepping immediately to the front to accept responsibility for failure.

#4 don't know why that was repeated. Ranger tactics just like thier missions are completely differnt than that of the 'legs'. These men don't react off cuff.
