Obviously you jump to arrogant conclusions based on zero actual knowledge.
During my years serving America, we were preoccupied with containing and defeating... the USSR. We were successful, too... the USSR collapsed back into its constituent states, one of which is Russia. Russia is now a sovereign nation, with putatively free elections... before you roll your eyes at that, consider the sorry state and amount of government manipulation of our own elections.
During your career, you confess that your job was to defeat Russia. So I guess you enjoyed being Bill & Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s and Victoria Nuland’s personal bitch? Did you and Milley dress up in your leather harnesses and doggie collars and follow your betters around on a leash as they collectively set fire to the world and manipulated the internal affairs of countries that deserved better?
Shame.
Bill Clinton signed my retirement certificate so I tore it up. I never heard of those other names during my career. I was in Germany when the wall came down and celebrated with everyone else. Up until that time, we trained for and watched for the Russians to pour across the Fulda Gap. My 6 years in Germany and other assignments all were predicated on the fact that the Soviets were our #1 enemy. While China has taken that title now, seeing Russia lose on the battlefield brings me great pleasure, apparently unlike you.
