I’ll tell you this, though. It doesn’t help confidence in institutions for people like Flynn and Mac to get promoted to multi-stars. It tends to put the whole system into question, rightly or wrongly. I would have previously expected more discernment from big time generals.
I cant even tell you how many..and it has to be in the many many HUNDREDS...of posts that praised General Mac and castigated anyone who dared question his outlandish claims.
No discernment there for sure.
I guess that is why a psy ops plan is successful. You use people that have a previous respected reputation.
You feed them info and off they run with it.
