Somebody misread their job description.

In a story of the KWTX web site about 2nd BCT, First Cavalry Division arriving in Kuwait:

"The brigade commander concluded his remarks to his troops reminding them of his “Black Jack Charge” – the mantra the brigade will live by over the coming year: being positive, polite, professional, prepared to help and, finally, being prepared to kill."

Come home safe, [profile] electorprince, despite your bosses being assholes.

Wish my current CO had that last part. His views are that we have to give everyone good "customer service" even if they try to kill us. If the situation goes south, he feels we've handled it badly. I can only hope he takes a round to the head.

Yeah, I suppose I should be glad "to kill" is one of the priorities at all. But WTF are we here for? Petting puppies? Picking flowers? Defense means HURTING PEOPLE BACK.
