Careful What you Wish For

"Since we have been here there has been a small group of us that have talked and mentioned different and perhaps better tactics that our leadership could use to accomplish our mission. I am by no means a great tactitian but I do have a grasp on tactics and small amount of experience or at least enough to get me in trouble.
We have the typical military problem, Troops to Task. I have mentioned along with a couple other platoon sergeants that we could better serve and protect if we took a different approach to our manning of missions. It is always nice to have more people than less but have to make do with less because we just don't have what we need. This Battalion did not have enough people to fill its ranks so it pulled the majority from the IRR and other units. I myself and along with the entire Bad Voo Doo Platoon have been pulled from a different unit to be in this one to accomplish this mission. Of course it is our job and when the nation cals we always answer and in the words of Donald Rumsfeld, "You go to war with the Army you have not the one you want", but we have made do. I am proud of the platoons ability to over come some of these challenges to make mission and look out for each other even when there is not enough each other to go around. So why am I bitching you ask?"
