“I love straight shooters and I hope every single one of them that’s left in the military will stand up against the crap this administration has done to the US military.”

Many have said that the MacArthurs, David Hackworths, Curt LeMays, Chesty Pullers, and Pattons (Chesty’s distant cousin) have all been purged from the ranks...

I had heard that as well - that the Clinton years took a deep toll on the military.

But I think about the Marcus Luttrells and so on out in the field, and I have a hard time believing that all of them would be either politicized hacks or else neutered beyond the point of being able to stand up for what is right.

I’ve got 3 nephews in the USMC right now, including my godson who is an officer. The thought of the military taking these strong-minded men of integrity and making sausage out of them by convincing them that orders from above are as infallible as if they were from God is unbearable to me.

Somebody tell me whether that’s what is going to happen.
