UCMJ is a little different than civilian law. They need a refresher on their oath of enlistment. I still have my dad’s commissioning cert from Congress. Nicely framed.

Hard to believe that these “officers” in this modern technological era can really maintain “anonymity”. Should not be hard to identify those who have said things that merit their dismissal.

The UCMJ takes a dim view of such goings on.

10x as many generals and flag officers as we had in WW2 and that was the last war we won. Speaks volumes.

No doubt many Obama/Biden officers don’t like their soft, woke military being disrupted by Trump and Hegseth. Those officers need to be identified and removed (obviously).

But the mainstream media sure likes to exaggerate, and outright lie. So I wonder how many of these stories are fabrications. Or maybe “somebody told somebody else” kind of things,

These “officers” need to be identified and fired, they cannot be trusted to carry out orders issued to them by our government.

I doubt the professional ability of these officers. Makes you what type of leaders they been promoting in the last ten years.

“But these same senior officers, who would not tolerate such conduct for an instant if it were directed against them, feel free to trash the secretary of war and escape the consequences. Should not they be judged by the same standards?”

I have almost no confidence that a Courts Martial composed of other flag officers would convict the fellow flag rank officer who was insubordinate.

Track them down as if they were spying agents. Then give choice: accept transfer to most inhospitable base in US command, resign.

“The Officers Bellyache, Publicly but Anonymously”

The sound you hear is the knocking together of their frightened knees as the axe swings closer to their cloistered positions.

Also an observation. I haven’t seen it anywhere, but I bet behind closed doors Trump’s military parade was seen as very embarrassing.
Mobs of mismatched, soft, and pudgy troops went marching past out of step, wearing ill fitting uniforms.

Little girls on top of tanks making heart signs with their hands as they passed the reviewing stand, etc.
Compared to any other military parade in the world, the appearance of our soldiers was a national embarrassment.

I think that was the beginning of it. It was long overdue. Even a glance back at the military of the Reagan era shows how things have degraded.

Their CiC is the MSM and the DNC - neither of which are government. Unaccountable, self-serving spoiled tyrants is who they serve.

My potential for a career in the Army was essentially ended, thanks to a run in with my CO during a battery level ARTEP. During the second day of 3, it was a complete and total cluster foxtrot. I was acting XO, and exploded during our evening meeting. The CO was basically catatonic, so I told the platoon leaders their tasks for the next day. I had taken 3 of the 4 platoons through their evaluations previously.

Departing the CP, I encountered the Chief Evaluator. I thought, “crap, he heard the whole thing.” With a broad smile, he said, “that was beautiful, LT.”

The OER I received was basically a career ender, so be it. Although I ended with 8 years on active duty, I had no intention of going for 20. No hard feelings, that episode was well worth it. The Army was very good to me, and led me to a better life than I ever imagined.

But the Obama/Biden jagoffs were okay to these ringpieces.

BTW, I fully support our Secretary of War. These officers opposing him are REMFs IMHO.
