The technology changes but the warrior spirit is the bedrock. That ethos is hard to create and easy to undermine. Every single decision a leader makes must reinforce the ethos or it undermines the ethos. The question must be asked: “ Does this make us a better war fighting unit with discipline and high morale?” Every Marine Corps Order and policy must be evaluated in that light. There will be constant societal and social pressure to do the opposite.
There is no need to list the misguided and delusional actions that detract. The well wore slogans of a liberal society repeat them daily. We all know them. Resisting them and reversing them is the key.
A wise man said “Culture eats technology for breakfast”. This means no matter how good the technology, it’s worthless in the hands of weak, ignorant men. Our warrior culture is the building block on which all other tactics and technology build upon. We can never let social engineering get in the way of that.
A good listen from an outstanding Marine.
