BTW, Commander Green was relieved of his duties in Jan 2022. What I’d give to sit down with him and compare our experiences over a few adult beverages.

In the early days of the German invasion of the USSR, political commissars had tremendous influence...at times over=riding sound decisions by commanders in favor of "party" thinking.

After the early defeats the Ruskies realized that even communists needed sound military doctrine and tactics.

Losing makes one realize the basics do work. I'm afraid we'll have to incur casualties to realize wokedom doesn't work.

If Mark Milley can say what he did at his retirement ceremony then everything is fair game. But we know that isn’t the way it works.

I hope he is close to retirement, because he is toast. his only chance would be for Trump to bring him back as CNO.

That took a lot of fortitude. He is correct of course.

“We just want our leaders to follow the law and honor individual constitutional rights."

This could also be said to our entire thieving, lying, criminal government.

And it is hard to imagine what might be done to fix these terrible problems, because it's like the Constitution means nothing now.

And who would want to serve in the military of a government that stands for nothing, and is totally corrupt?

God help us. 🙏

I think veteran moms and dads see the rot in our federal government and a stolen presidential election and are telling their kids that the military is no longer a good career option.

Interesting thread - 40+ years ago the 60+ year olds liked to comment how the Military wasn’t the same as when they were young and part of DOD.

Now? Same...
