Listening to commanders in the field instead of overruling them from DC would be a start...

Also, please remember that regular citizens criticizing actions taken by government officials are not required to come up with a "better plan". The people in office are being paid to pay attention, to the situation and to the citizens, and to come up with these better plans themselves. That's why they get all the perks that power brings and we regular citizens don't, at least in theory.

However, since we have a "CEO" President, perhaps, like other CEOs over the past couple of decades, he thinks it's OK to take the perks for himself and his associates whether or not the company gets run into the ground.
