Learned the important stuff from Heinlein
I develop Warfighter systems and battlefield mobility systems, and I'm here to learn and ask questions; I can't give a safety and lethality edge to our Warfighters unless I run my concepts by Warfighters to help me "slap the stupid" out of the ideas BEFORE the "lets make a profit on this" folks get involved.
So I may say dumb things and ask stupid questions, but its for a good purpose.
A couple of favorite quotes:
Failure to diligently practice war results in ample opportunity to practice surrender. Unless surrender sounds interesting, budget the Warfighters first.
All of us lead some, and follow others. Always strive to lead to the utmost in your competence...
"Soldiers will follow a good leader anywhere and under any conditions of battle. Be that leader." MG H.R. McMaster
