Uh... this is why grammar and spelling are important. I always thought it was “Commander-IN-Chief”???

Military Intelligence guys ought to know that...

No offense to anyone, just saying’.”

I was confused by that usage as well. However I saw something that made me set aside my quibble of that moment. But now I forget where I saw it, and what it was.

The impression I have is there was some kind of discussion of the generals surrounding Trump and there was some sort of distinction of some kind being made. I wish I could answer your very legitimate question. However, with my mush brain and crossed eyes, I fear I will need to place it on the shelf and hope it becomes clearer soon.... or maybe run into it again.

Perhaps one of our more knowledgable thread participants can lend a hand here!

The correct term is “in” not “and”

Anyone in the military ought to know that. Very basic.

But Q is trying to evade “sniffers” that might intercept his messages, so possibly deliberately misspelling things? Supposedly that is also why he is often cryptic.

IMO, another reason for being cryptic is to get people to pay attention. (Look at us here with over 2000 posts!! It’s working.)

New Q post says this:

Do not read into this spelling/structure error.
Heavy lag/attack ongoing.

I once worked directly for a 2 star general, who went on to become a 4 star general, and once retiring from the military he became a very high level Federal civilian.

He used to say "Commander And Chief" all the time.

I would not get into a twist about transposing the words "IN" and "AND", especially in this context.
