Wow. Military, DOJ, CDC - every institution and organization of Fed.gov is showing themselves (at least to half the population) to be corrupt, incompetent, and highly biased political bureaucratic hacks.

How does the USA fix this??

Probably a direct problem if the Military does not have a justification for its large budget, it finds enemies.

What needs to happen is a retargeting in the Pentagon back to fighting communism which is still a threat from China.

Someone once explained what is wrong with the modern American military.
To paraphrase:
“There are Political Generals and there are Combat Generals.”
Today’s military is run by Political Generals.
From my reading of American history, there has only been one Political General that won a war. Dwight Eisenhower

Unable to win wars overseas, the military’s leaders went “woke.” Currying ideological favor is easier than trying to end insurgencies.

General Milley is a "trans" person in every sense, and he chose to be exactly what he became. He 'transed" from a high-ranking Army officer into a high school girl.

When you become a high school girl and plan to transform your military organization into self-loathing racists, you need an enemy you can still beat i.e. a non-existent enemy. I'm sure Milley wants to start issuing medals for those fighting in the First White Privilege War.

It should last a while, but he can declare victory any time he needs a victory. Unfortunately, there is no one out there on the other side who can surrender to him.

If Milley really wants to understand the “rage” of the American people he should start by asking why he and his fellow generals can’t win any wars.

I view Vietnam as an Operational loss, but a Strategic victory.

The Soviet Union was defeated.

We assumed after WWII that jumping out of an airplane made the best combat leaders.

It ain’t necessarily so.

Then, we assumed that suffering produced the best leaders (badge getters).

It ain’t necessarily so.

Then, we assumed that the skinny good runners made the best combat leaders.

It ain’t necessarily so.

Henry Clay: I’d rather be right than be President.

It’s like everything else in government. Failure isn’t just an option, it is practically mandatory. There are no consequences even for criminal behavior if you identify yourself with the leftists.

Afghanistan never had a chance for success because they were counting on the notion that “democracy!” always wins, no matter what. A bunch of drug dealers right out of the dark ages couldn’t care less about democracy or the classical liberal ideas that the left thinks they own.

We didn’t bother to destroy the Taliban and left in place the poisonous ideology that has always made Afghanistand what it is. We thought we could just slap a coat of liberal democracy paint on an already collapsed civilization and it would be good as new.

Schools and voting booths are parts of a civilization, but they are not civilization itself. Ultimately you need the rule of law and strength of character to make a robust society and we no longer even have that ourselves so there is no way we could pass it on. We are just lucky enough to have inherited a great civilization, but we are squandering it as fast as we can.

“Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress in June that he wanted to understand “white rage,” why “thousands of people” tried “to assault this building and … overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.”“

General, if you don’t understand, you need to go put on your dress, sit in the corner and suck your thumb some more.

And I thought that guy with the Communistic note on the inside of his hat at West Point...was NUTS.

Turns out he’s psychic. Oh, and I believe discharged.

Here let me fix it

If Milley really wants to understand the “rage” of the American people he should start by asking why he and his fellow generals had over 100,000 young Americans died in vain do to losing military actions since World War 2.

If you look closely at the rows and rows of ribbons on the uniforms of these perfumed princes, to use David Hackworth’s apt term, you might not see very many awards for actual valor. Lots of admin, smart looking uniform, shiny shoes and staff weenie awards.

Hi.

Imho, the entire U.S. government is corrupt and OOC.

Don’t care what alphabet agencies. Same same.

Example? U.S. troops will fire on you.

History tells us so.

Act accordingly.
