I retired a few years ago, I want nothing except my flag that I earned. I declined the form letter from the CIC, all I wanted was my flag, my DD214, and my retirement check.
Several good NCOs are just getting out and not re-upping, due to the pro homo, sensitive, and PC BS that is the US Military. Every month is something, Woman’s history, black history, Latino history, Asian heritage, Earth day, some obscure "holiday",for any religion not Christian related. I spent more time in sensitivity workshops then did at my job.
I have worked for a few commanders over the years that were relieved of duty for one reason or another. Most of the time was political. You don't get to that position without being some what political in the first place. It seems like a lot have been relieved lately, but I don't think it is anymore then normal. It would be interesting however to see the political affiliation of the ones getting ousted and the ones being put in command. We had a very conservative CO at my last command in 2009, (that we all liked) replaced by a man hating lesbian. The command went down hill over night. I was so glad I was about done with my Military service.
Your comments are excellent and very insightful.
So different from the U. S. Army in which I served almost sixty years ago.
