BRAVO ZULU!!
And a PING to you, Ad guy
This is a very, very tough nut to swallow.
The people in a position to do something about it don’t care, and the people that care are powerless to do anything about it.
God help us.
Just one more thing DT is going to have to fix.
I don’t even have to read it. I can’t read it.
Today’s military leaders have the same moral courage the German General Staff had against Hitler. today’s Pentagon leaders must read up on Jodl and Keitel on how to be a military leader.
All too many of the higher ranking military officers are some of the biggest butt kissers and political animals one can find in any bureaucracy. They're looking for the next butt to kiss to get them their next promotion.
The leadership doesn’t care. They won’t be the cannon fodder. The politicians don’t care. They will be safe and rich. If a hundred million American’s die, oh well.
Anyone in our military should know that there are families like mine that have served in our military since the 1600’s who are against Obama and Hillary at every point. We are patriots serving our country and we want all others like us to vote for Trump...Hillary would be worse that Obama for this country.
When I took American History in college, way back in the dark ages, it was impressed upon us that the military quite successfully fought back against more than one president who dared encroach on the military’s turf.
The military’s attitude was that you civilians run the government, but WE run the military and never the twain shall meet.
So disastrous was it for several US presidents who forgot that rule, it became common wisdom in government that you don’t meddle with the military on matters it regarded as essential to discipline and morale.
What happened to those men? Men who would fight back?
They’ve run all the fighting men out.
We saw this politically correct crap happen 45+ years ago when the politicians started running the wars, (I hope you're enjoying HELL, Sec Of Defense Robert MacNamara!!!)
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT?
WTF?
We had to drop heads-up "leaflets" in areas where we were to soon engage the enemy.
We couldn't pursue the enemy if they were lucky enough to make it into Laos or Cambodia, (although we actually did, Heh).
We could of kicked commie butt in a few years if we had been allowed to, but instead the politicians decided not to.
Yeah, I'm still pissed!
And now the marxist, faggot, perverts in our government are trying to finish the job.
Who indeed will call this crap out for what it is?
While Hack was a polarizing figure who was both loved and hated by his men and readers (most of the love came from the lower ranks and the hatred from the higher ranks and the men he deemed the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon), no one can argue that the man had the courage of his convictions, aka moral fortitude, aka guts.
I loved reading David Hackworth's newspaper columns. He hammered where things needed to be hammered. He was awesome.

Ray, when you ask, “Is there one righteous person in the US military with the courage to speak out?” do you realize what it is that you are asking? Is there one righteous person in the US military with the courage to commit suicde? When the head of the CIA is a Muslim, when the FBI and NSA is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, how do you think a GI can defeat them? Our President, his Chief of Staff, our Attorney General are all Muslims. Our entire government is infiltrated with Muslims from the top to the bottom and you have the balls to ask someone to attempt to sneak by the authority and powers of these people so you can write a friggin article. Wake up and start using some common sense!!
A couple of us have been writing about this eunuchification of the US military (i.e. castration by machete) for years here at FR. I’m glad that Starmann was able to rant and name names for our readers to see who the PC Cowards, Career Cowards and Obama asskissers are/were.
If there was no other reason to elect Trumph, it would be to clean up the pansies in DOD and put in real fighters. That is why the Clintonistas fear Gen. Michael Flynn so much. He won’t put up with this crap. Might even start recruiting firing squads for traitors and cowards.
John Bolton as Sec. of State? He’s clean out the SD and the UN with a flamethrower. Like it!
Remember to Vote (if in Chicago, often) in November.
There are more to blame:
1) Congress confirmed the appointments of the cabinet secretaries and the general officers.
2) The Commander in Chief who made the appointments and sent them to Congress for confirmation was elected twice by the American people.
The American people had the opportunity to choose twice. The consequences are the result of the choice.
Consider:
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” (Edmund Burke)
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
“A Republic must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty.” (John Witherspoon)
“Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.” (Frederick Douglass)
“If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” (Samuel Adams)
“What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” (Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Colonel Smith, November 13, 1787.)
Please give credit where credit is due. The social experimentation began in the 90’s under the reign of the co-Presidents Klintoon especially Herself. As I recall, the first move was an effort to make combat forces co-ed so as to accelerate promotional opportunities for the meaner sex.
