If the dumbass waited a day or two he would have been told by his UN bosses that the Hammies lied to him about the number of fuzzie Muzzie civilian casualties. The UN say it was almost half the number jughead heard from his fuzzie Muzzie pals.

This man ignores that Israel’s survival depends on this war.
His intelligence is not enough to understand that Israel is an island in the middle of the Muslim Sea and it is the only thing that resembles a democracy.

I’d say this officer was both a mooselimb and a demonrat.

Indeed.

This commissioned officer disagreed with The Army, and its civilian bosses, as to who and what constitutes "the enemy".

He had, as I see it, three options:

1) Obey his orders anyway. That can be an honorable option.

2) Resign his commission in protest. It used to be an article of faith on this forum that high-ranking officers SHOULD HAVE resigned their commissions during the Obama regime rather than implement Obama's destructive policies.

3) Remain in the Army, and commit various forms of sabotage.

This guy chose Option (2). IMO, this is the best outcome. Option (1) would likely result in reduced performance. Option (3) sedition if not outright treason.

People whining about his actions are not being rational.

Again: I don't agree with him. Also, I remember when faggotry was an absolute impediment to being granted clearance. He shouldn't have held a commission in the first place.

That major took his cue from Biden, who feels the same way about Israel and how American weapons are contributing to the deaths of Palestinians.

There you go again. Nobody asks the real question: Did he or did he not have his 20 years in? Singlaub had 30. This Lt. Schaller had only 17. He quit over our Afghan withdrawal and lost his retirement. So will this guy fall on his sword. Under BJ he properly would have lost everything for embarrassing the administration. These peoples motives are not always pure. In the case of Schaler he mighta been dumb when you consider his action changes nothing.

Oh Sorry. I know that can be frustrating. WP has a $3 a month deal if you’re interested in it. You can cancel at any time. The summary of the article is that a pansy Major wants Biden to surrender to Hamas for the good of the nation. :ROLLEYES:

Self ignition would be the preferred course of action.

Now the mob has a new hero seeking their 15 minutes of fame.

The enemy? Whose enemy? The United States Congress hasn't declared war on the civilians in Gaza and killing non-combatants is a court-martial offense of murder.

There's a large, clear leap from "we're only helping to intercept inbound missiles and drones" to actively targeting civilian buildings.

The U.S. Army covered up the massacre at My Lai for more than a year until forced to admit to it and investigate it. With modern video and audio, expect a lot to come out Gaza.

This major was in the army.

But, much worse than that is the case of the congresscritters who owe their allegiance to the Hamas/Palestinian/Iranian forces.

If the major is a major threat to those serving around him, then, the members of congress serving in America’s legislature are much bigger dangers. Get them the hell out, immediately. They’re not serving America and are there only to serve our enemies and their motherlands.

Another site said he served 13 years. Ok so he threw away 13 years of his life and will get nothing. Sounds fair.

He didn't throw his career away, his globalist overlords did. He joined the military to support and defend the Constitution of the United States but was ordered to target civilians overseas to aid a country other than the United States.

If the Palestinians are a threat, everyone in the Jao Bai-din regime needs to be arrested today and charged with treason for paying them and millions of other invaders to cross our border.

Good! We don't need such pieces of sh*t in the Army anyway. We need to clean them out regardless.
