Here it is, the Real Deal Holyfield QDR

I received a paper copy of this a few days ago and understood it was embargoed so I didn't post it. But now I'm starting to receive it over email as a .pdf, so I figure it's out there already and that readers of this blog should get the chance to read it. My first thoughts on this are very positive.

(They should do a QDR Report just solely on him!)

@Devil Dawg, That picture

@Devil Dawg,

That picture raised Holy Hell when it was posted last time. Briefly the narrative given out: That solider had been deployed prior, was yanked back on IRR even though he had problems that should have precluded deployment.

Karma wise it is most unwise to mock the unfortunate and their afflictions.

Lest misfortune befall you, and mockery rather than sympathy be your fate.

I shall have to remember not to thank the next Marine I see for his service. Not.

Listed under the heading of

Listed under the heading of Useless Importance, that was a Navy officer who actually took that pic. Hadn't heard that before Elf.

awr2.........this might help.....you can see where it came from by the watermark.

Have looked at several pages, looks like what AM posted. There should be a nice clean copy available as there is a direct link from CNAS to Flournoy.
We paid for it .....right?

Feb. Release QDR in .pdf format........

Thanks for info Boondoggle.

Thanks for info Boondoggle.

Sorry if I am too harsh on the USMC. I don't really dislike them even a little. But we're past operation macho man this many years in....or disparaging people for physical appearance. Yes, he should lose some weight. On the other hand grow the f*ck up. That never should have made it to the web.

But as someone pointed out and I was informed of an identical case - IRR, had problems, yanked back in - and I still don't see any manning problem other than misallocation of manpower in the Army necessitating those callups - and was deployed anyway.

I don't want to keep a-warring on this...but let's realize that there's some damn good troops who kept pushing thru post IED migraines that turned out to be TBI - and who are having a real hard time 1) living and 2) keeping the weight off because 3) they keep forgetting where the hell they are. The case I'm referring to fits that description.

elf,

was there a cord stricken here? it's just some fat kid, hell i believe devil dawg was actually making fun of SNLII and the QDR Report process. why all serious now? it's like fnord talking about his many international virtual Muslim girlfriends. no one cares!!!

Is it just me or are all our spies (officers) who end up writing books, RELUCTANT?

OK it's just some fat kid.

Abu - thanks for posting.

Abu - thanks for posting. Just downloaded the PDF from Scribd and skimmed it. Just from the TofC alone it strikes me as the most radical re-think of US strategic posture since MAD and Bomber LeMay. Is there any chance you and your buds are going to parse it out in soundbytes and logic structure for us congenitally disadvantaged? Plays nicely with Gates Doctrine (surprise) and the restructuring of procurement and acquisition from heavy tech weapons to this new posture. Amazing that they were able to get that thru.

Now on implementation - how does this related to the shortfalls in Unified Action, i.e. the resources, skills, doctrine and operational capabilities to do the other half? As far as I know that's still largely missing in action and continues to be under-resourced.

NB: this QDR strikes me as in line with what US foreign policy should be:
Good Government for a Stable World
Brave New World: Constructive Engagement and US Foreign Policy
Middle East Solutions: Issues, Relationships, Frameworks and Approaches

Actually that's a real term,

Actually that's a real term, same context.

I'm with double O, this reluctant hero/Shane bullshit is passe. How about giving us a Rorshach or better a Comedian?

Give us somebody who loves their job. How about some Andrew Jackson?

Really, why do you all care so much about brutal, thieving, lying, murdering, boy raping, drug trafficking, backwards ass and terrorist aiding stone age f*cktards?

Realize something. The very second our money and power is squandered they'll show their true colors. On any of you who happen to be in range first. Every hear what happened to Howard Dean's brother?

I forgot legal wife rape, clitidectomizing, stoning....etc etc....and the progeny of incest.

Have a nice adventure the next 18 months in social work. Because that's what this is now. Like all Liberal social engineering, this will fail.

Let’s find a new way of success and its most appropriate time to break your old habits and admit that using tables for layout is outmoded and lazy. It's time to move on to CSS layouts, I have admitted this fact and going to focus on it after my IT related exams such as testking 640-822 and the testking 642-642 at the last but not least testking 642-832. Lets go jump into the stream of wisdom like my testking 640-863.

che commentare ... in italia

che commentare ... in italia almeno abbiamo la cessione del quinto dello stipendio http://www.cessionedelv.it

The assignment of the fifth

The assignment of the fifth is for public sector workers and the private sector and also to pensioners. This type of loan will be charged a fee corresponding to a maximum of 1 / 5 of the salary calculated net of withholding tax, hence the name assignment of the fifth.

It's amazing how presumptuous

It's amazing how presumptuous the US military can be. Both Afghanistan and Irak are the most potent examples of how an institution can totally misread the rest of the world. Probably even the most naive members of the human race, should now be able to understand, that terrorism is not a military, but a social and political problem. How the US army can still come on with their "military understanding" of this problem, just beats me. türkisch übersetzungen.
