Made for interesting Thanksgiving conversations.
And I know, first hand, an ex O-4 who believes in chemtrails, and several other brands of nonsense, but he was Army, and I don't expect much from them. This is the bunch who let a flaming Communist go all the way through Hudson High...
Throughout my career in the defense biz I was always amazed at the number of leftist officers that I would meet. Its not that they were a majority. They weren’t, but certainly a surprising large minority (In in terms of numbers not demographically!).
So, your claim to inside knowledge of a particular nature is from an in-law former Marine who was passed over for “ all of that Obama stuff” and now you are qualified to judge the entirety of the officer corps of the armed services? Oh, and you know all about Army folks to too, but they aren’t worth much.
Silly me, and here I thought you had no bona fides.
Have you thought about offering your services to the Trump DOD as an appointee? I am certain there is a need for such wise and experienced non-veterans as yourself. There is a link on Whitehouse.gov where you can present yourself for consideration for appointment and all.
Granted, there have been, always were, problems of such nature in all institutions and certainly there have been novel changes in the last decades or so, but I assure you, as a Veteran who served from Reagan to Obama, enlisted to FG officer, infantry squad to Joint Combatant Command, the US military, with its exceptions, is still the strongest, most ethical organization in the western hemisphere if not the world.
But you would know that isn’t true based on anecdotal information from a singular example of a Marine, and some fruit bat crazy O4 Army type..... Got it.
