But look at who wants the studies. The civilian who oversee and lead the military. and then more civilians want to study what the first civilians wanted to study.

Kind af reminds me of a study they did many years ago that I had to chuckle at. They spent $4M doing a study on manure. The end result produced a few answers, and the main one as far as they were concerned, "Manure is slippery when wet".

Well, DUH!!!!

Back when I was a young Lieutenant in the Air Force and a Boy Scout leader
some one asked me what was the difference between the Air Force and the
Boy Scouts? -The Boy Scouts had adult leadership!

When I was in the army it was said they took someone that knew very little about anything, taught him more and more about less and less until he knew everything there was to know about nothing and then commissioned him.

Hey be nice I always claimed any competent Master Sargent with proper care and training could become A
Lt. AND any competent Lt. with proper care and
training could become a MSgt. Heck my roommate at
OTS was a MSgt, the lengths some people through to
get out of Wurtsmith AFB.

LOL, I always thought that if you took 1/2 a brain and put it in a Lt's head........it would get lonely there all by itself.......after spending 4 years teaching new Lt's armor tactics I'm convenced of it!

Just like Parliamentary inquiries, a way of put off making a decision.

We had a Lt Commander on my first ship that was out Engineering Officer. He had a college degree, but it was in geology. What that actually had to do with engineering we never figured out......but what we alldid know was that the man was dumb as the rocks he studied.....

Wasn't there to actually see it happen, but was aboard to experience the results. The idiot ordered the MMOW to shut down the turbine generator that was online. The MMOW ((((an E6, First Class Machinist Mate)))))) told him it was the only generator in operation and promptly got a chewing out/cussing and a lesson in how the Engineering Officer was more important than he was and his orders were final. The MMOW's response was basically 'Yes Sir", and he pulled the shutdown on the generator. The ship immdiately went dark and you could hear the air starters spinning over the BIG emergency diesels and them rummbling to life. Story told was that the Engineers only comment to the whole situation was "OOOOOPS"............No apology to the MMOW for trying to watch out for him, nothing.

Must have been the same guy from the Saratoga. He cut the steam to the cats during flight ops.
