The article is from Douglas MacGregor, who is unabashedly pro-Russia, and is seen by many of his contemporaries as a hot-head and a loose cannon (which probably explains why he was passed up for promotion from colonel to brigadier three times in a row, thus pretty much ending his military career). He said the USMC is obsolete and its existence is no longer justified; ditto on the Army’s airborne corps. He has called for the summary executions of illegal border crossers.

This guy is a darling of late-night radio talk shows. There are many on FR who swear by him (hence his attributions on FR). I, however, am not one of them. Though I don’t summarily dismiss him, I do remain very skeptical of anything he says.

Joining ranks with honorable truth-tellers like Billy Mitchell, as opposed to corrupt sycophants like our current Sec Def.

The truth can be brutal and easily dismissed.

I like his ‘’illegal immigration’’ policy.

Yeah, I am growing skeptical of him.
