Some choose to serve and some choose to lead. A leader's first responsibility is to the safety and welfare of those he or she leads. When a military leader chooses to take his team into combat he should do so with as much careful planning as possible and only as a last resort. When a leader doesn't do that, there is such a thing as honorable people dying because of incompetent leadership. Therefore, when a commander puts his troops in a position without thought as to how they will withdraw (say, a box canyon), and loses control of his control of his strategic options - or worse cedes them to a foreign power - it is our duty job to remove that commander. As a leader, my job is get those who choose to serve out from under poor leadership - do my duty - and that's how I can best serve my country. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
