Professionalism

As an organization, the US Army banks heavily on its reputation for professionalism. We are much-admired for our ability to get shit done, regardless of personal feelings. After all, here I am, a man who in another life marched in protests against this war, fighting in it. Of course, like many of the ways in which this organization is perceived, it is wildly overstated. I realize that uncomfortably close proximity to someone, working with them every day for 5 months and counting, can grate a little. Hell, I don't like my team lead very much. But when someone is so incapable of sucking it up and finding ways to deal with their interpersonal conflicts that the command here has to reshuffle the teams and fuck up everyone else's operations and rythym...that's just pathetic.
