Re Scavino photo:
The Army flag is showing the streamers:
Lexington
Abeyance
Abeyance means temporarily suspended.
Lexington was the start of the Revolution.
The Revolution is temporarily suspended or delayed.
Hmm, that cannot possibly mean the revolution to take back our country has been temporarily suspended or delayed. There isn’t time.
Agreed.
PS. That sucks.
Unless that means the Revolution against Trump (e.g. Biden pressing to enter office, or rebels within the Pentagon) is delayed.
Well, look at you Sherlock.
Nice.
I interpret it as constitution suspended/insurreciton act in place (abeyance), revolution enacted (Lexington), old glory remains (ft mchenry)
In the Army campaign Inherent Resolve against ISIL, the first phase was called Abeyance (15-Jun-14 to 25 Nov-15). That phase was to degrade and reduce the combat effectiveness of the enemy.
The next phases are Intensification, Defeat, then Support and Stabilization. If you participated in a phase of the operation, you get a campaign star for that phase, and the privilege to a campaign banner or flag.
Is the President telling us that the first phase, which could mean holding the enemy in abeyance, has been completed?
And now, by all indications, we are entering the intensification phase of the operation?
According to Wikipedia, the campaign medal for Inherent Resolve features “the medal’s mailed fist and dagger represent “strength and courage in the defense of liberty and freedom”. The scorpion being impaled was chosen because, “The scorpion, symbolic for treachery and destruction, is found on most major land masses”.
So maybe the Revolution is not on hold, but the first phase of containing the enemy is complete? To me the photo implies if we participate in this Inherent Resolve, we should show strength and courage in the defense of liberty and freedom, and that the campaign is moving forward.
