From Generals to Genitals — America’s Woke Military
There aren’t a lot of O6s in that category.
But there are quite a few 03, 04, & 05s that have and will soon be sending out resumes to find their post military job, after realizing that after 20 years, their common sense and dedication to the folks below them, mean nothing to the folks on the promotion boards and in the Pentagon.
No different than everything that has taken place in law enforcement, at every level, for the last 20-25 years.
Oorah!
I could only find the FB video, if someone has the YT video, please post.

The brass needs to tread lightly. The troops see themeselves being killed and humiliated because of bad decisions by the TOP brass in the pentagon (Chairman of the Join Chiefs personally told Congress that he supported closing Bagram all the way back in June) and nobody ... NOBODY ... is held accountable at all. War hero Patton got removed from his post for slapping a guy. Milley created a damned deadly disaster and he just spouts spin and nobody says boo.
If they then go after THIS guy, who probably all of them agree with, it will create a real problem for the willingness of the troops to trust and support them.
A hero willing to throw away(sacrifice) his 17 years. Most of the ‘brave’ ones have their 30 years in before speaking out. Think Singlaub. Under Clinton they were not allowed to ‘resign’ and go out the back door. Todays generals are more scared than woke.
There will be a future for him in a Republican administration. A Trump-like president would put him in charge of firing people.
I don't know exactly UCMJ allows, but regardless, America's present politicized, factionalized, woke military will nail his ass to the wall.
At least he isn’t asking them to give back all the ChiCom Bribe Money they took...
Vindman got medals and a cushy retirement. This warrior will get his career decapitated. That’s our country in a nutshell right there.
That took balls, it also ended his career. 17 years.
He'll get worse that the female Army SSG making tik tok videos threatening to shoot US citizens.
Yes, a hero with most likely a wife, kids and mortgage. You can count on your fingers the military men willing to risk anything in the battle against the Marxist take over of our military. Let’s hope that changes now.
“ But there are quite a few 03, 04, & 05s that have and will soon be sending out resumes…”
Gimme a break. Are you telling me that the kids that joined the military and graduated college in the last 10-15 years under Obama are all big hardasses?!? Please.
Are the 'two turds' of the Pentagon too busy putting on fashion shows for new uniforms and pushing commie propaganda to answer questions?
Remember the purges from the Obama administration. This was all by design. Washington is concerned with Washington, and little else.
This is exactly the kind of courage we need. Withe three years short of his twenty, this guy is absolutely putting it all on the line. Absolute courage and massive admiration from me.
Thanks for posting the link. This is almost certainly a story/man to be followed in the near future. The reaction from his superiors will be telling.
Urban legend. The Marines hit Fallujah and they were ready and did not go through two weeks of training first. It was a standard infantry assault that they are well trained and practiced in long before they arrive in the war zone.
A man who will never be a full colonel.
I haven’t watch the video but that picture on Politico is troubling. In a warzone with a history of bombings, why are the soldiers clumped together, casual, waiting for a bomber to walk up and, as we now see, kill and injure Americans. This is incompetence.
Trump was not able to drain the swamp at DOD, created from GWBush on but mostly through Obama. Now the top ranks are all woke careerists who put keeping their careers in tact and on course above the national interest.
Yes, a good officer works acknowledging civilians are at the top of chain of command, but great officers resign when they must so that as civilians they can speak truth to the American people.
