Yeah, this is what I call the "Marine Model." You and I work like grunts; kick doors in; blow shit up.

However I feel that my experience has indicated that this only works when the brass are present and making such orders. When you're on your own, even when within the context of a organization or team, this is more easily prone to failure.

You talk about them being loftier goals, but maybe they're just different methods to solve different problems.

Anyway, semper fi.
