re: “Put the military on prophylactic hydroxychloroquine...call it a trial study”

I’d be curious what a lower dosage over time would do, say 25mg tabs daily or 200mg (standard tab) once every say five days.

THIS is what “clinical” trials are good for.

Col. Jessup: [in Jessup’s office] Hmmmm... transfer Santiago. Yes, I’m sure you’re right. I’m sure that’s the thing to do. Wait, I’ve got a better idea. Let’s transfer the whole squad off the base. Let’s... On second thought, Windward! Let’s transfer the whole Windward Division off the base. John, go on out there and get those boys down off the fence, they’re packing their bags. Tom!

Tom: Yes, sir!

Col. Jessup: Get me the President on the phone. We’re surrendering our position in

I just got through watching documentaries on Doolittle and Rickover.

Why is the Navy so backward? They have been bullied, by Congress no less, into modernization for the last 100 years.

When Congress is out in front, your institution has a problem.

Why does every new term have to sound so gay?

George Carlin had a famous rant related to, as he termed it, "euphemistic bullshit". He thought this trend toward soft language was shameful. This recent crop of examples - oh, he would've had a lot of fun with them.

Of course, misogyny is a real word that goes way back to pre-political-correctness days, paper dictionary days, even. It just wasn't tossed around in polite conversation before this current crop of militant feminists discovered it.

I hope that it is serious.

This virus thing is little in comparison to actual war. What will happen if we are fighting the Chinese in the south China sea and Americans are dying? Ships are sunk.

Will we run away? Or will we fight for our way of life? For America.

Heck if this is the way the leadership in the services think, then I ask for, no demand, a discharge and arm myself and my family for the eventual direct attack on America.

I wouldn't want some underling idiot making stupid decisions and saying stupid things.

Someone needs to kick this guy's ass. But I don't hold hope that someone will.

Why would you bring in a ship that has been out for over two weeks and no one has it?

Because its more important to sow hysteria than do sensible things.

Hey, if I were in the services, I’d be very concerned. Maybe this is the way it has always been?

Unfortunately, I am concerned that our once great military who won WWII decisively have lost it. It is infested with people who are “professionals” who don’t know how to fight a war. An actual war where American might die.

From what I have been observing the last two months him getting his ass kicked is a certainty. You need to pay more careful attention.

I did not know that. Thank you for the information. I never heard that word before 10 years ago LOL

Oh and toxic masculinity really sickens me too.

I assume misogyny was once used for situations where it really applied

Good.

However, I am concerned that we have lost it as a country.

My prediction is that yes, if we are in some kind of conventional war, we Americans will get our asses kicked at first.

And there will be a turning point where we have two choices: double down and finish it or run away.

With leaders like this idiot, I am concerned that way too many people in the services would prefer the latter. They forget that the military’s purpose is to fight in the most extreme conditions and resolve is most important. Resolve and determination wins wars.
