It explains why enlisted men are not officers. Officers are now required to learn the lessons of history.
good thing tw never stoops to insulting people. UG is ridiculous in his assumptions and arguments, but tw - you know this is an asinine statement.

1) a 12 week "officer candidate school" is all that separates the enlisted from the officers in many cases when you acknowledge that a very high percentage of enlisted have at least a bachelor's and many have advanced degrees.

2) If officers are required to learn the lessons of history and officers are the decision makers, how could the mistake of repeating history be made?
