| To show you just how dumb you are answer this |
Hmmm. What a way to start a conversation. Are you this rude with people in real life, or do you just plop your big poopies on the internet?
| Given the scenario of the 1st Sgt -NO he has not committed any offence for that attack. |
| The issue with Bush is not as any of your examples state. |
Hmmm. And I disagree. I think that it is truly the question at hand. By your logic, anything a subordinate does is ultimately the responsibility of the soldier's chain of command. Ending with the highest possible member of that chain of command. For this example, I used his 1SG, but for you it obviously goes to the president. You would not hold the 1SG responsible for his CPL's behavior, though the 1SG does have responsibility for his (or her) unit's decorum and training.
In response (at least I think you were trying to respond to my question), you said:
| Constitution changes him with the responsibility to, TAKE CARE THAT THE LAWS BE FAITHFULLY EXECUITED. |
And the 1SG is tasked with the responsibility of keeping his soldiers in line. And the 1SG has day-to-day contact with those soldiers, as opposed to the vast bureaucracy of the federal government whcih cannot be hand-held by the commander-in-chief on a day-to-day basis.
But you would not hold the 1SG responsible while you would have Bush drawn up by his scrotum for perceived offenses against America? I would say if you're going to hold the Chief Executive's feet to the fire, you most certainly should have less consideration for a lowly 1SG. But you would topple, overthrow, our country for ridiculous stretches of the bureaucratic imagination?
Now for the moral of this story...
You said,
| The Buck stops in his office per OUR CONSTITUTION! |
Maybe so, but it doesn't START in the Oval Office.
It starts at the delegated level. It's about delegation.
Why am I needing to teach you about delegation of authority, COL?
How many Humvees and Jeeps did you personally wash, COL? Or check the oil on each vehicle in your motor pool? Or did you leave this responsibility to subordinates? That's called
delegation. Delegated power is absolutely essential, because one person in power cannot be all places at all times. So for Bush to be fighting off swarms of immigrants HIMSELF, or to be shoring up levees HIMSELF... Should he be driving each government employee to each meeting across town so no government worker gets into a car accident? Because then I can blame GWB for any car accidents on the Beltway? The ball is dropped frequently: at the federal, state and local level, it's true. But those TO WHOM POWER HAD BEEN DELEGATED (oops, there's that word again) need to be taken to task first. I am responsible for a car accident in my government vehicle, not the fleet coordinator, not his boss nor his boss nor his boss... but to you they are. Actually, no they aren't. George W. Bush is.
I think you like to start the buck (not stop it) at the White House because you have serious issues. I don't know what issues those are, but you obviously have them. I just hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth.
