Yeah...I noticed these headlines this morning and had the same thought. My father worked for the Washington Post Company for almost 40 years. My loyalty is deep, but the roots are coming up in the storm.

Common sense is contextual. Common to who? What educational, cultural, economic, political or familial context? Sorry, appeals to "common sense" trigger me.

You've triggered me. I'm so tempted to go on a PME rant. Instead, an observation. In 2011, every CDR went downrange DIME ready. Then they lost their first soldier to an IED and everything was F3EAD.
