The leaders I felt sorry for at 2X were the HHC commander and 1SG. The HHC commander was a Captain in a company where Captains were Corporals and even Lieutenants in the G-sections had more power than him. He had little more power than counting bed linens and hamburger patties in the mess hall, yet was held responsible for everything wrong with the day-to-day operations of the "company." And they both hell when our mess sergeant turned out to be crooked and had been selling the best food on the black market for four months. They must have felt really helpless the entire time they were in those positions.
