Hello Doc,
>We are doing some great things. Some units more than others.
Absolutely and without a doubt. But other things are going terribly
wrong. The issue is can we fix what is wrong, but that is unlikely
unless someone is accountable for the mistakes. And not admitting
anything is wrong is not the right direction.

If a tool breaks when it is used for the wrong job in the wrong way... do
you blame the tool or the one wielding it? The Army didn't decide to
invade Iraq with 1/3 the number of troops it said it needed to stabilize
the country.
