His first/highest priority is to support his Commanding Officer, President Donald Trump!

He's got the "stare of death" down.

Sort of like an eagle sitting on a perch eying some prey.

“The general in question had an incomplete quote taken out of context.”

Truth spoken here.

And for the next 3 or so years plain hamburger down at the gedunk will be referred to as a general burger...

We had an ops boss named Mr. Stiffy, the crew was relentless... then there was Seaman Donkerslute... gawd awful name to have on a tin can.

Absolutely. Stand up to the leftists who have infiltrated the officer ranks of the military and clean house.

The decoration that impressed me in his fruit salad rack, is that second award pistol expert. That’s tough because you have very few freebies on the pistol course if you want to shoot expert.

Dude has some serious trigger control.

I read here recently that Marines were not subject to posse comitas law,

I wonder if this commandant will accept orders to deploy marines to capture invaders crossing a closed border?

That would be a different game

From the Navy.mil page:

Navy and Marines. The Posse Comitatus Act proscribes use of the Army or the Air Force to execute the law. It says nothing about the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, or the National Guard. The courts have generally held that the Posse Comitatus Act by itself does not apply to the Navy or the Marine Corps. They maintain, however, that those forces are covered by similarly confining administrative and legislative supplements, which appear in the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive.

Maybe he will give that general his retirement. It would be a good opening statement.

“He’s got as much mission hardware on his chest as a third world dictator.”

The difference being he’s earned every one honestly.
