These "problems" seem more like symptoms. These situations are not confined to the Air Force or military. The civilian world is rife with systemic issues and dysfunction as well. It is a sign of the times. "The Greatest Generation" is no longer running the show. I'm a root cause kinda guy. When I see something like this I look deeper, for the REAL reason. It usually stems from lack of leadership; folks being in positions they are not truly qualified for. Typical corrective actions are to throw subordinates under the bus or add bodies, Etc. ad nauseum; anything but fix the problem. It is a sad state of affairs and no wonder we are falling behind as a country.
