Some things never change; from the article Jimbuna linked:

Quote:

“We were poorly utilized, we were hopelessly misdirected and restricted, and we were woefully misused by a chain of stagnant high-level civilian and military leadership” that lacked fortitude in a “war that they ineptly micromanaged,” Colonel Broughton wrote in "Rupert Red Two" (2007), a memoir whose title drew on his call sign while a young military pilot.

Sounds like a recent war and leadership...

RIP, Colonel Broughton, and thank you for your service and your courage to speak up...
