Y'all will do anything to avoid actual feedback from soldiers. Y'all had long-form feedback on reddit. I'm guessing the mods didn't want to protect your snowflake feelings? First y'all lost Afghanistan, now you're losing social media.

Don't worry fam. I'll be here to highlight ALL the ways you are failing your soldiers. Let's start with that GAO report on the barracks. SMA Grinston got in the trenches to get funding. What is this self-fragilating group doing to help? I don't see a single post about the lack of food at Fort Cavazos.

For real, what is the point of this other than to jerk each other off about how good of leaders you are?

Writing in its various forms serve unique purposes. Reddit and related sources do not replace the benefit provided by branch journals, nor does the act of promoting these formal sources negate the former. What I glean from this initiative is that there is a desire to provide a space for leaders to engage and professionally discuss solutions to challenges such as those referenced. That being the case, Reddit and reddit-like forums will continue serving as venues for informal, unrestrained feedback that is picked up, analyzed, formalized in professional writing submissions and discussed so the best solutions are developed.
