US Army Reinvents Itself

Five years ago, the United States Army was one sort of organization, with a certain mentality. Today, it is a different organization, with a different mentality. It has been transformed in the virtual flash of an eye, and the story of that transformation is fascinating for anybody interested in the flow of ideas.

A course at Artillery School at Fort Sill in Oklahoma was shut down because the students, back from Iraq, knew more than the instructors.

This is fascinating to me--I have witnessed a similar change through conversations with my son about today's Air Force and many of the changes occurring there. I wonder what would happen if Congress undertook such an exercise??

Or government in general? The Florida Legislature? Results could be amazing.

I didn't know your son was in the Air Force GW. Is he stationed here?

Thanks for the article - I forwarded it to several people who I know would like reading this.

What a great idea!

If only it were possible to have the government look critically at itself and its policies.
