Is it time for hangings soon?
I can hardly think of a more gut churning story.
The Pentagon does not even care.
It continues to lose all respect as it SCREWS Americans
and ARMS al Qaeda for the undocumented
Moslem Tyrant-by-fraud with weapons.
btt
7 years?
This ain’t Obamas doing. I am sure he had no idea.
Seems to me our military has a lack of credibility.
The Pentagon is filled with slimy civilians who order their office underlings to do the bidding of the evil Obama regime!
There are NO jobs that a uniformed military personnel couldn’t perform! Proper central government in their direction of the military needs to clean out the infested Pentagon. Political officers need to be riffed while civilians fired and forced to earn a living.
Young Americans are destined to continue dying in order to justify the civilian manipulation of military decisions and the damned Congress is complicit in this evil cesspool.
Those empty boxes are as close to being heroes as the usurper in our White House is to being an American or a president. From Obama’s perspective, why not pretend about honoring our heroes too?
Slight of hand, bag of tricks, what you see is not what you get, illusions, smoke and mirrors...in short, the Obama Presidency.
it could be like fast and furious where obama media try to pass it off as a policy that came from bush, but in fact started during obama admin
That's not true.
“There are NO jobs that a uniformed military personnel couldn’t perform!”
Most if not all military jobs, from cooking and cleaning to security and office work, were at one time performed by military personnel. Then, Congress started parceling them out to favored constituents who, presumably, returned the favor with political contributions and support.
This probably lets the military look smaller on paper than it really is. And, it spreads the wealth around. (Where have we heard that?)
You are not alone.
We “youngens” (I am 55) were raised on your values too. we are the WWII living in the shadow generation.
All is not lost and the country is not a “pile of manure”.
Our leadership, (if you can call it that) is the pile of manure but who put these armatures in power, well, the majority need to follow an alternative path.
I suggest the US reinstate the draft as a compulsory service for all men and women, (I am a Vet). You see, young people need to be disciplined in their freedoms for 2 years minimum in order to APPRECIATE this Republic.
Mind you, it will be difficult to reinstate but it will restore civic responsibility, burdern-sharing and self-discipline.
Yes it is.
You may be on active duty today, but I too served in the military during wartime. I have watched over the decades as key jobs were given to civilians. As a civilian I have, through my civilian career, had to visit Air Force offices where a civilian is running the show and doling out assignments to ‘captains’ and NCOs.
I support gleaning out the civilians entrenched in the military apparatus and making certain that positions are filled by those in uniform.
I don’t believe you have served in any administrative capacity, nor have you been assigned at any time to that cobwebbed Pentagon, so you wouldn’t actually know.
I, too, support compulsory MILITARY service for ALL young men. If that were re-enacted we just might instill some discipline into these oafs that loaf around street corners selling drugs to babies. Instead of filling up the prisons with misfits we might actually be making men out of those who would otherwise end up worthless.
A lot would have to be accomplished first. The officers and NCOs would have to be re-instilled with the authority over all their charges. The recruits would have to know that stepping out of line is a direct route to the stockade. Further, no more homosexuals admitted and no more females in combat situations or onboard ships. This toxic combination is anathema to a sound military.
No more senseless wars in which we have no business being engaged. America doesn’t even protect CONUS!
As a veteran myself, who saw how the military was supposed to work decades ago, I am aghast at what I see today. I know this may appear picayune to many, but there is a definite lack of any decorum when I see troops traveling in fatigues. Many never wear a class A uniform.
Character Guidance and Troop Information needs to be re-established as it’s as important as basic infantry training to a soldier, or boot camp to a sailor.
So it’s all theater !
I feel used and manipulated——what else is new?
.
You know though that the Israeli Defense Forces have successfully integrated females almost right up to the front line and many of them are fine officers, NCOs and excellent trainers to men soldiers.
Israelis know how to get the job done with females assisting.
Couldn't the US do the same? I mean couldn't females serve with men as they do now or do you see this as destructive?
