"I need all NCOs down here right now."
Pretty easy to imagine what it does, actually. Particularly amongst the core of professional, career officers and NCOs.
Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

I suppose you could argue that worse-trained NCOs technically increase lethality, just not the way you'd ideally want

Army Set to Overhaul Length of Noncommissioned Officer Academies to Cut Costs
The Advanced Leader Course, or ALC, and Senior Leader Course, or SLC, would be compressed from eight to 16 weeks down to just three weeks, regardless of occupational specialty.

as bad as it is, firing top level leadership isn’t “purging the military of all leadership.” there are tens of thousands of officers in the army alone, to say nothing of NCOs. the fact that the joint chiefs are giving trump his parade means nothing. bsky.app/profile/drda...
Dude is getting a hundred million dollar military parade and has fired all remotely disloyal leadership. Is there any reason to believe the military isn’t going to follow him?

After the confrontation, White NCOs escalated things:
• Surprise inspections
• Punitive treatment
• Threats
• Food tampering
• Targeted harassment of Black Marines
Tensions boiled over into fights — involving multiple Marines on both sides. (cont)

Reporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.?
Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.

I got two NCOs on my heels. As it should be.

The army has gotta invent NCOs but for posting, letting the officers do it themselves just isn't sustainable.

I know Senior NCOs that would break this “unit” in a couple of hours. Basing military potential on appearance is ridiculous.
And the OP is exactly right.

The real losers today were the South Korean SOF NCOs
Looks like one of the South Korean soldiers who tried to storm the National Assembly building lost their $50,000 GPNVGs.

I remember the CBRN NCOs telling me that those suits they issue us wouldn't do fuck-all for radiation. Now granted half the CBRN NCOs never really knew what the fuck they were talking about. But they probably still knew more than I did.

I remarked back during the campaign that Harris-Walz were exactly the two things the federal government actually runs on -- hypercompetent middle-aged black women, and NCOs.

We might as well bring back “shake & bake NCOs” if they keep chipping away at professional development for NCOs, which has given the U.S. Army a qualitative edge since General Dupuy implemented it in the 70s.

If you know any military leaders — from junior NCOs to 4-star generals — probably a good time to reinforce the idea with them that their oath is to the Constitution, not the President, and certainly not the Secretary of Defense.

And that's because my culture is to privilege having an NCO corps above all other things - the PLA's NCOs are dogshit, but does that matter?

These are the kind of warfighter officers that the NCOs and enlisted would follow to hell and back.
