Rip those stars off your pathetic nostalgia costumes and resign. Quit. Tell that crusty Pinocchio in the White House and the faculty lounge Geppettos tugging his strings that you will have no more to do with his human centipede of failure in Kabul.
It’s not hard – your stars are right there, generals, right on the shoulders of those new uniforms you decided to adopt with the express purpose of evoking World War II and the memory of victory over a modern, peer-competitor military. Maybe, you thought, wearing winner’s gear would ease the pain of getting creamed by a bunch of Seventh Century throwbacks.
Yeah, we know your boss is a senile old fool with delusions of competence. His failure will be addressed at the ballot box. But your failure, generals and admirals, is something only you can address, at least until President DeSantis comes and separates the wheat from the chaff in the Pentagon.
Yeah, we know, you have to follow the orders of the civilian authorities – though not if it’s Trump, since he was not part of the in-crowd you aspired to join as adjunct military members. Your passive-aggressive mutiny against the guy the American people elected set back civil-military relations 250 years. You took the one institution most Americans still trusted and turned it into a roiling cauldron of hot garbage.

The downfall was Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected and appointed swore in a British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian non-natural born citizen.
My flag, which flew for over 40 years at this home, came down in January and was replaced by the Gadsden Flag.
I put up a temporary American Flag for Flag Day and July 4th, but I am so sad and mad about what the old fool has done to my Country that I can't even think straight.
...this article’s author, Kurt Schlicter, is a retired U.S. Army full bird Colonel, and is a lawyer to boot....he knows of what he speaks/writes....he has been very critical of our pathetic demented President and our military’s top brass through previous postings on TownHall.com and elsewhere....
Since January 20, I’ve switched between the Pine Tree (An Appeal to Heaven) flag and the Betsy Ross flag.
Perhaps the greatest thing that George Marshall understood in the run up to WWII was that the folks who would be fighting generals in the war to come were presently Lieutenant Colonels and Colonels.
He doesn’t have the honor to resign.
Making concern about the uniform a priority is the product of too much time on the Cocktail Circuit. If only he had cared as much about executing his duties in Afghanistan.
I don't give a damn about what he wears, I DO care about the incompetence and current push in the DOD for the ranks to be politically correct and "woke".
Milley-Vanilli is absolutely nothing short of a TOTAL DISGRACE!
Brilliant. Many thanks.
This didn’t start with Obama: It started with Clinton. Today’s flag officers were majors on the fast track back then.
In 1993, Clinton ordered a sociological study of the US Armed Forces. The study found that the US military was a cauldron of toxic masculinity and that it should be transformed into a more “sensitive” and “vulnerable” organization. Seriously ... they literally recommended that the US military become more vulnerable.
Well, less than three decades have passed and they have accomplished that mission in full.
And they used Tailhook as a convenient excuse.
Sorry, Kurt, but he’d have to possess the sense of shame and true self-pride of a real warrior to do so. He doesn’t.
Schwarzkopf would refuse to be in the same room as this balsa dummy.
I miss Stormin’ Norman.
Kurt is a fav. He uses word pictures to defeat the enemy. He’s very effective.
Now shouting about it will not help because there is not enough honest press. The majority of the media is full of fagotry and woke fools covering for their woke generals, senile president, impudent leaders, corrupt and disgusting democrat politicians, all kissing the Taliban's ass and giving the finger to the majority of honest and true Americans screaming and waiting for someone to open up a can of whoop ass in Afghanistan (Cavemanistan). But alas we are stuck with Joe and the Hoe and Pelosi and Schumer and soon we will all be dead or speaking Chinese and eating fish heads and rice.
Typical fair from Kurt Schlichter.
Great vaporization by the Mighty Kurt!
I kind of like the old uniforms, but they do tend to make you look like a horse soldier from the 1890’s.
The pockets on the new uniforms are out of proportion & remind me of something that might be worn by the old Soviet Army..
