I have no clue what the hell he just said...
"in the realm"... "but generally".... "there is a tendency"... "in favor of"...

This guy has to be the worlds most wishy-washy ex-marine. Is there no one in GM management who will set any direction? take any form of leadership? be accountable for anything?

A real marine would say:

Them cars are F'n broken, I F'ed them up. I take full accountability, and I WILL see that they are F'n fixed, F'n right now!
Or

"In the realm" of a lack of good intel from HQ we are considering this battle. Of course "there is a tendency" to always reconsider and worry about actions like this. "But generally" we have been doing well in the Italian Campaign. Of course "there is a tendency" to ignore some of the bad things the could happen. But I'm "in favor of" continuing... So who's with me?
