I did not say I thought he should be fired or that Patton should have been fired or that any of the countless other generals and military men should be fired, and I didn’t say that we should have sensitive snowflakes defending us in the armed services.

So, back off a bit.

We need Sharia Law - cover women up and don’t speak to them.

Isn't that throwing out the clitoris* with the bathwater?

That little snowflake should be barred from any government job whatsoever and in perpetuity!

Maybe when there’s a war, little college girls will protect you instead of mean and gruff males.

Honey, sweetie and darling are common names women call men in the smaller cities and towns throughout the south.

Native southern women, not the carpetbagger imports.

“Honey, sweetie and darling are common names women call men in the smaller cities and towns throughout the south.”

I’ve never been in a restaurant in the south where I was not called honey, sweetie and/or darling by the waitress.

I was also served grits with breakfast even though I did not order them.

Who do you think is going to be better than General Mattis?

Not my call - he’s as bad for the mil as they come - he may win battles but now he seems to only care for being a politically correct creature of the deep state - SECDEF is not as role he’s in anyway suited for - and should be returned to the care of his fellow perfumed princes.

You said the General in the article should be denied promotion for not being politically correct enough regardless of how well he did his job.

The other points were just logical questions to see how consistent you were in this opinion.

I know you did not say it. That is why they were questions.

Right I do not. I just see, as many others do, what is wrong with this jerk being SECDEF and his mincing minions of mil Deep Staters, who are working, if that is the right term, to further hollow out the mil and fill the ranks with fat, transgenders LBGTXYZers cross-dressed in pink wearing high heels while listening to lactating lectures wearing pregnancy simulators and anxiously looking for safe rooms so they do not melt. That’s the Perfumed Jerk’s idea of a military.

I highly doubt those are his opinions/desires.

Who cares about his opinions/desires - pointless and irrelevant? Those are his policies. Get back to me when he rescinds them and reinstates actual war-fighting discipline and training. No more 35 year old moms in the Rangers, please. And while he’s at it release their Green Card scores, thank you.

I have confidence that there were be plenty of competent generals and admirals who can take care of us. I would be suspicious of a general who got his stars under Obama anyway.

Be careful what you wish for. We could have a general similar to Wesley Clark in his place. I just think he doesn’t fight it because he thinks it isn’t the hill to die on.

I’m on your side. I think there should be no transgender troops, nor women serving in combat MOS’.

I’m a non combat veteran, and I know how bad it can ruin group cohesion.

Where I work now, I see what one decent looking woman can do to group dynamics amongst males.

I guess calling her “bi!ch” is out of the question, too. What oh what shall a general do in today’s snowflake Army?

As long as those Generals live within the sensibilities of silly girls in their 20s, right? lol

I don’t know, or want to know. anything about this general’s military service.

However it’s quite a shame for a person’s entire career to get shredded based on some phrase that took about 1-2 seconds to utter...Particularly if it was directed at someone not even qualified to polish his belt buckle.

Yes, that was another good one....

Great Movie.....My era of svc though I never had ‘boots on the ground’ other than Bangkok a couple of times...
Still rate the ‘hardware’ but definitely do not consider myself ‘equal’ to those that were in Indian Country doing the heavy lifting.

Great movie though, caught the era and ‘way of thinking’ perfectly...

Those telegram scenes just got me ‘madder’ at the USG for not having an ounce of preparation for the body bags and all that goes with it.

Also those airhead reporters show things were bad then and only got worse....Long for the days of The S&S reporters that were in the field and knew enough to keep mouth shut....

Also that story about the 2 grandfathers who met to buy a pair of shoes each year.....Showed the Cols way of thinking when he commented about lucky they were the same size.....

Yes, “We Were Soldiers Once.....and Young” sort of covers the whole lot of us....
