Dan and Justin - did you guys actually READ the letter??
It seems not.
Yes, without a doubt my duty is to serve my country despite her faults. I have learned I will not be able to get education and training services while I am here and I am accepting that. I am here to serve out of obligation and duty. What I'm wondering is if there are any checks and balances for those who are making decisions here?
Everyone keeps saying it is up in the air, including the personnel responsible for deciding who is going where. It feels as if every decision is off the cuff. In this situation there should be plans in place and decisions made before the rubber hits the road.
We are slowly becoming frantic. I hear people saying they are going to begin hurting themselves or others if they can't go home. The helplessness our soldiers are feeling is indescribable, it is past the point of "suck it up and drive on." We just want somewhere to drive on to.
(emphasis mine)
Sounds to my like Duffy is happy enough to do her duty, but that the duty is not making a lot of sense.
Whose responsibility is it if personnel are demoralized? Your suggestion of a visit to the chaplain is specious.
