It doesn't conflict with my anecdotal summaries.
The tendency of #militaries in #peacetime to lose focus on their core purpose [1] and hare off in different directions of irrelevancy is widely known and documented, at least as far back as the Vietnam #war, and probably earlier. In peacetime, there just aren't the same metrics and opportunities available for officers and general staff to focus on.
[1] #Armies exist to "break things and kill people". All else is #PR #fluff.
