I've gotten to know Tim Norton, your lead partner in trying to revitalize the PLT in a toxic CO/BN/BDE climate. He's a good man.<br /><br />This essay has been forming in my head for 20 years, ever since I talked with some of the Task Force Ranger guys after Mogadishu. I've been able to observe a lot of units, a lot of leaders, a lot of veterans. I hope that this essay supports a wider discussion on the many ways we can do what's best for those we lead and serve with.Pete Kilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027642894453539902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14902380.post-38727852564402610792016-12-05T17:26:27.092-05:002016-12-05T17:26:27.092-05:00Fantastic article, Sir.

As one who has lived the opposite of this and borne the brunt of this type of leadership not having happened in during the OIF 05-07 rotation that resulted in the "Blackhearts" incident, I reacted strongly to the holistic approach you laid out. I didn't have this avail to my platoon then and don't see much training on it now (when arguably, after so many rotations, there should be). Articles like this are crucial to tieing the Soldier to the Profession thru the medium of his/her moral and ethical sense. Thanks.
