Ask for accountability for incompetence and treason... and clearly you are mentally ill.

[taxcontrol]

I see a promising career in politics for this marine.

[Carl Vehse]

"The people that think Biden is fine...want to check HIS mental health??"

It's those people who are actually batcrap crazy.

[JonPreston]

to be honest, he did seem a bit over the top.

Kinder and gentler is the only way to save our nation.

[Qui is]

“But I know something you don’t… it’s the system that’s going to break. Not me,”

I hope he is correct. Wonder what he knows that we don’t.

[Night Hides Not]

Right out of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”.

[DesertRhino]

If that statement of his scared you, put on a dress and swish around for us. Stay by the circled wagons with the women and children.
He merely pointed put the obvious failures, demanded accountability, resigned his commission... and promised to bring this corrupt system down.

What’s wrong with that.

[Reily]

How very USSR of them !

[seowulf]

When’s the next train to Siberia?

[bigbob]

He’s already too high profile for them to stuff in some mental hospital. As an officer in the training command he knew how to beat their system.

[southernindymom]

Yes it will, he hopefully has several unregistered already.

The old Soviet Union died in Russia and is being reborn in the US.

Kinda scary looking back at what my 10th grade social studies teacher said. When asked how the future would go for the (then) Soviet Union and the US, she said "They'll become more like us, and we'll become more like them".

[Red Badger]

How very Soviet of them...........................

“Well, to be honest, he did seem a bit over the top.”

No. But he did display unusual courage.

Biden’s stupidity could be curtailed if a few generals had what it takes to resign and tell the truth; or tell the truth and then resign.

The first thing a military man does is to take an oath to the U.S. Constitution. That oath seems to be the first thing our newly minted generals forgets.

[PGR88]

Media and tellings of his story miss one key point he said - I summarize: “If I screw up on the field, and casualties occur, Boom - I am court-martialed or fired immediately.”

Its not that he’s criticizing leadership for problems, he is pointing out the hypocrisy and double-standard for the political brass in DC.

this point needs to be emphasized.

[semimojo]

So does he...

[nikos1121]

They’re going to try an discredit him. Funny how he’s not getting much support from other actives

[JaguarXKE]

That the way the Soviet Union handled any “dissenters.”

Exactly right, as chronicled in "The Gulag Archipelago," by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn.

[nikos1121]

I am sure there are many others seething,
