First, John is right, in my view, because we are not just looking at weapons, methods and principles. But we are actually working on the underlying concepts of warfare, that all of this is built on. But the big thing is we are working on it. No, it will not be a smooth transfer, but we must learn. Many of us look to the Military and the Department of Homeland Security to provide the National Security of this Nation, this is where we are wrong. We are all involved in this task. I am not talking about a vigilante view, just fulfill your responsibilities.  Students, do you want to get into the military? Do your homework, take the harder math, science and foreign language. It has been over 40 years ago, one day, I was grumbling about doing the homework  for a required research paper. My Father came into the room, didn't say a word, he grabbed 2 cups of coffee. He came back and sat down at the table where I was writing. He sat down and said, "Take a break, I want to have a chat with you. Here's a cup of coffee, enjoy it. By your attitude, I figure you think the day you leave school, NO MORE HOMEWORK! Well, let me be the first to tell you, you're wrong. You'll have homework until the day you die." My Father never raised his voice, but there was a certain tone, you knew to listen. For all people in authority, my Father never demanded respect, He commanded it. He taught by example, FIRST, then by precept. It may not be your Father's Army, but don't forget the lessons, it taught.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-82054 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-82054 Thu, 25 Dec 2008 19:24:02 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-81993 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-81993 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:46:46 -0600
Hearing this has to make the higher ups sleep really well poorly at night.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-81989 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/12/another_example.html#comment-81989 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:24:52 -0600
