Every military in history has suffered from desk jockeys who forget the sufferings of the troops, the brutality of war, and the purpose of unit cohesion and operational effectiveness. The Pentagon culture creates a barrier between common sense and personal career advancement. Military bureaucrats are poisonous.

The war mongers are back in charge. This country cannot live with peace in the world when Democrats are in charge.

How are the bitches gonna prove they are descendants of “slaves”? Most that are here now are descendants of blacks who came to America for the freebies long after slavery was long gone.

and our country was born with a birth defect that we imported from the Old World — called slavery — and we’re still dealing with the after-effects of it,” he added.

What gave us the birth defect? Repeated exposure to the Democrat Party. This racist party’s continual denigration of POC is evident in today’s racism of low expectations; a current platform of the Democrat Party

Many Americans, including Mattis, were born with a “birth defect” known as useful idiocy.

To say America was born with a birth defect is to imply that we brought something new into the world; i.e., slavery. America, instead, played an important role in bringing an end to slavery.

Ours was a revolution. That means we changed things from the way they had previously been. And, it is a continuing revolution. Things continue to change in ways, some of these changes, in their specifics, beyond the imagination of the Founders. Thus, Hayek dedicated his book The Constitution of Liberty “to the unknown civilization taking shape in America.”

It is for all of us to count our blessings as Americans, whether from 1776 or from 1863, and to dedicate ourselves to continue the revolution so all of our fellow citizens will enjoy freedom and equality; even, all people of the world. That’s how we pay our reparations to those who sacrificed so much for us.

So the MINORITY RUSH to fill our ranks is because they absolutely LOVE “racism”, “discrimination” and “racial injustice”? Sounds FU to me. They aren’t very bright. This is horsesh*t.

The actual words of Mattiis are both a self-contradiction and factually wrong. Birth defects are not necessarily inherited. Birth defects can result from something going wrong during gestation or during birth itself; e.g., oxygen being cut off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_defect

Further, we didn’t inherit slavery from Europe. At the time, western Europe was the only place in the world where slavery had been abolished. Jefferson, in his draft of the Declaration, said slavery was imposed upon us by Great Britain. In the Catholic world, the Pope condemned the development of a new form of race-based slavery in the New World. So, slavery in the New World wasn’t inherited from the Old World, but a counter-revolution to the Enlightenment taking place in the Old World. Its cause wasn’t its transmission from the Old WOrld. Instead, its cause was the evil that is in man’s heart.
