在纯净“上风口”上下功夫 ■马駉前不久，中央军委印发《关于加强军队高级干部教育管理监督的若干措施》。贯彻落实这些措施，要求领导干部切实扛起纯净思想、纯洁队伍、纯正生态的重任，在遵规守纪的“上风口”当模范、作表率。源清则流清，源浊则流浊。在生态环境领域中，上风口位于空气流动的上游区域。受风向作用，上风口通常环境优良，会不断输送洁净空气，改善下游环境。上风口一旦存在污染源，则极易导致污染物扩散，对整体环境造成威胁。领导干部处在政治生态的“上风口”，其作风形象如何，直接影响整体风气。实践证明，一个单位风气纯正，必然离不开领导干部率先垂范；一个单位风气不正，往往源于领导干部行为失范。只有领导干部以身作则、以上率下，才能营造风清气正的政治生态，不断推动作风建设向上向好。风成于上，俗化于下。各级党组织要担起全面从严治党、全面从严治军主体责任，在纯净“上风口”上下功夫，构建全方位的教育管理监督体系，持续营造越往后越严、越往上越严的鲜明态势。领导干部也应常修为政之德，常思贪欲之害，常怀律己之心，以自身正、自身硬、自身廉的实际行动，做清风正气的身体力行者、示范引领者。

Summary

Machine summary

The CMC issued new measures on the education, management, and supervision of senior military cadres, and this August 1st Sharp Commentary column uses the occasion to press leading cadres to model political and ethical discipline—framing their conduct as the 'upwind position' that determines the health of the entire unit ecosystem. The article documents the PLA's persistent institutional problem of top-down corruption and atmosphere degradation, for which the prescribed remedy remains the same: personal rectitude by senior officers reinforced by tightened Party supervision structures. The piece fits the recurring pattern of CMC-level policy directives being translated into political education content for the officer corps, and its value is as a record of how the institution frames senior-cadre accountability to a broad military audience in the current discipline campaign.
