Does he or does he not have his 20 years in? I think not if he ws a captain in 2016

An AF LtCol will have a minimum time-in-service of 16 years to be promoted to that rank. Time-in-grade requirements only add up to ~10 years at that point.

At best, he got below-the-zone promotion, and tore through the earlier ranks, so he'd have 15 years. Most likely, he was around the average promotion schedule and is around the 18-20 year mark. If he was prior-enlisted for several years beforehand, or slow to find his O4 andor O5 slot, he could be around 24 or 25 years in.

He might not have his 20 in, but unless he is forced to resign he can still get his 20.

"Not a good idea to get political no matter what your views are. If it comes down from above and you disagree guess who’s problem it is?"

Marxism is a threat to the United States and it was proved by the bodies of service members in Korea and Viet Nam. Remember? History has proved that Marxism is a threat, and it has NO PLACE within the U.S. MILITARY! There is nothing POLITICAL about this other than the jackassed moron Lt. General who decided to make it political!

It’s the question we now have to answer: how do you stop a Marxist takeover of one’s country?

Looking to history the military taking over is the most common path. Examples are Spain, Greece, and Chile. The left is very aware of and are making sure the military is under their control.

I hope Trump reclaims the Whitehouse and promotes this guy to General so he can clean house.

Exactly. Lt. Gen. Whiting needs a congressional grilling and be ordered to identify avowed Marxists currently serving in the military.

Yep, Whittaker Chambers tried to warn us. Didn’t he also say, when he denounced the communist party, that he feared he was leaving the winning side for the losing side?

Alright, folks. Here’s an excellent educational movie for young people about communism. It will give them a real feel for the communist environment *without* unnecessary gore, sex or violence. *It’s free,* and it will certainly hold their attention. It’s your duty as Americans to show young people the truth about communism.

Please note these two paragraphs buried in the article:
“For a self-published work, policies that may apply include DoD Directive 1344.10 and associated guidelines discussing political activity in uniform. According to the services’ standards, personnel may express their views freely, but they are still expected to uphold their branch’s core values both on and off duty.”

“Those are fairly broad and would not prevent publication, but might impose some minor limitations on content,” Golby said Friday. Also, policies associated with a service member’s security clearance or policy-related access, are usually covered by an Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or a clearance read-in agreement, Golby said.”

Even though I retired from the active Army in 1993 and as an Army civilian historian in 2017, I am still bound because of my clearance level that I held up to my 2017 retirement, I must submit any book or article I might write that covers military related topics since 1947 for review. If he did not do this, then he can be in trouble for violating the NDA he signed as part of his security clearances. And this is even if he clearly did NOT write about classified information. LTG H. R. McMaster had to get similar review of his 1997 book “Dereliction of Duty.”

But if he did submit it and it was approved, then this action is definitely wrong.

“It’s the question we now have to answer: how do you stop a Marxist takeover of one’s country?”

Communism according to Marx was never meant to be instituted in a more undeveloped/mostly still peasant country. It was to be a takeover of mostly industrialized, already highly developed countries with a lot of intellectual elites turned left by love of the Marxist ideology (such as are the current circumstances in our Country). We are ripe for it, the perfect storm.

The Russian revolution was a fluke, and a crime of opportunity brought about by unique circumstances at the time of WWI. The Marxists took what they could get, and the poor folk of Russia were the vehicle they used to institute their socialist ideology. But Marxism was really meant for a society such as ours. Highly developed, and ripe for the plucking.

You would probably find today’s episodes of Bannon War Room Pandemic very germane to your post...They provide actions to take.
