A stupid ass idea from 1947 that pushed officers who only had certain skillsets, even if those skills were not relevant to their branch or area of service (ie Just-in-Tiime Logistics training for SpecOps Officers who generally oversee short-term operations involving a few score of personnel rather than thousands or tens of thousands over months or years)

We ended up with cookie cutter officers who generally thought inside the box, all with MBAs and other management bullshit. Whatever the retarded Business School fads of the time reflected themselves in Military Operations (ie Management-by-Target Fad of 50s/60s = Body Count Obsession in Vietnam) Real "Studs" had their careers limited for lack of certain stupid requirements.

The NDAA2019 allows the armed forces to set their own officer requirements, and currently is a holistic system that measures the overall cognitive abilities and physical/mental powers of the individual officer as opposed to Rickover's Ticket Punching Bullshit.

A plea for a partial restoration of classical education: Read damn books and highlight in Thesis form what you get out of them. Learn and contrast a multitude of frameworks/philosophy, instead of regurgitating a few popular theories. Teaches you to get something useful out of them, pick and choose what seems right in your mind, but not use one or two as crutches for everything.

Patton read these books, and wrung a lot out of him. "I was here, the Carthaginians were over there." Much of his speed theory was from Caesar's Conquest of Gaul - which he constantly re-read throughout his life - and his experience in the great War Games of the 1930s on applying IRL how to move fast through varied terrain.
