Note: Ann Barnhardt has stated that she believes anyone who runs for political office is mentally ill.
I disagree with her piss-poor assessment.
Out for comments.
Something is very wrong here. What this NCO says doesn’t make much sense. I think we are dealing with a disgruntled person who probably is doing the Army a favor by leaving. When he/she (Not sure which) mentioned the First Sgt. as a “she”, it told me this was a non-combat or support unit (Probably Medical or Supply). Suggest readers look at this with a skeptical eye and as an exception and not the rule.
Yep. No difference between hillary and Trump to an Army NCO....
I call BS.
As a general principle, I agree. Anybody who would actually want to be President, Congressman, Senator, Judge, whatever should be automatically disqualified on the grounds of being either nuts or evil. That said, among those who seek office some are manifestly far less horrid than others ... Every now and then, you actually find one who's even positively decent. But they're rare.
I'm not a psychologist although I play one on the internet. When it comes to mental illness I think Ann Barnhardt fits that bill very nicely.
I agree. I’m sure there’s more to the story.
If anything, the military has become much less strict about criticizing the leadership. I remember guys being called on the carpet for making any type of political statements back in the 70s and 80s. It was considered prejudicial to discipline and unit morale to discuss politics while on duty.
The military has become a liberal social experiment where patriots are no longer welcome.
I finally retired from the military in 2013. I would have liked to stay longer but the PC garbage is out of hand. Soldiers are mostly treated with kid gloves.
One of the tipping points for me was the briefing we were given on the repeal of DADT.
I worked as a Command Finance NCO for the last two years of my time. I was shocked to see the amount of charity and handouts Soldiers were seeking. Far too many were just there for what was in it for them.
Single moms join for a free ride (not all of them of course).
I asked several senior NCOs what they would do if it came down to being issued unlawful orders. The majority said they would refuse and if necessary simply leave (or worse). A few just shrugged and wouldn’t answer.
She’s got the crazy eyes, that’s for sure.
So this man had no problem serving under Obama, that says it all in my opinion.
“Note: Ann Barnhardt has stated that she believes anyone who runs for political office is mentally ill.I disagree with her piss-poor assessment.”
I think it comes on after they are elected
Ann is actually the one who is mentally ill.
Anyone who thinks Trump is going to use the U.S. military against his political opponents if elected is also mentally ill.
Good riddance soldier.
Win wars? Not this military, not with this CIC.
This is exactly what Obama wants. He want to weed the patriots out of the services and fill it with those who would follow orders against their fellow citizens without question.
Notice how the current CIC has slowly, but inexorably, worn down the career soldier and is transforming the capabilities of the military. He is subversively destroying the military and HRC will continue that job for him.
I don’t understand how any senior NCO cannot understand how Trump would be far better for the military, but then again, who knows if his access to information is limited or spoon fed.
We shoved a knife in our heart back in 1963 when we passed the 24th amendment. That bit of idiocy severed the necessary control between the people who pay the bills, and those who will run the government.
Non-Taxpayers do not care about excessive borrowing and spending. They are too stupid to understand that the gravy train cannot go on forever, and once you give them the right to vote, you are done. It is only a matter of time before the reality of life eventually slams into the illusion of free money.
More like flush with debt, because that has become the new governing paradigm.
If this were simple disgruntlement, I would expect to see a list of grievances as opposed to a stark assessment of the probability of illegal orders.
I disagree that both major parties have candidates that would prompt illegal orders, but I do not fault this individual for choosing to get out as opposed to staying in under such a situation.
This is the legacy of the last 8 years of Obama rule, and somewhat of the insane ROE promulgated by W for some of his own tenure, IMO.
