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.

“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.

I disagree. He expressed 100 percent righteous indignation. I guarantee you there are a lot of military and vets who feel exactly the way he did.

A major in 17 years and not a boot-licker? Marines could use 10000.

*************

Asking for some accountability for a disaster that affects our national security was over the top? No, this was the sane and fearless thing to do.

I once worked with an officer of similar character who had no qualms expecting his superiors to abide by the same rules everyone was else was expected to observe. To him, it was all about the mission and maintaining the highest standards of conduct and integrity. Nothing less was acceptable to him. And he made an example of himself for others to follow. Like a true leader should.

I can almost guarantee that the people who replied to this comment deriding or mocking it didn't actually watch the second video. It was tough. Far different demeanor than the first video which was passionate and focused Reading between the lines, it sounded like he and his wife were having issues, and he starts in with the "you don't know what I'm capable of doing" stuff. He hit on six or seven of the signs someone is having suicidal ideations, so yes, a mental health check was warranted. A lot of dead Soldiers Sailors and Marines these last few years because nobody checked on their buddy until it was too late. I'm heartened to hear that he seems to be less agitated and more focused now. I wish him only the best.

I see that the leftist propaganda is working on you.

How so? If this marine accidentally shot and killed a civilian, he would be court marshalled in 10 mins. You know why? Low level grunts have no power. His higher ups just re-created the Afghanistan version of the Killing Fields, left behind $53 billion dollars in high tech milatary equipmen, left 100’s of Americans behind and are responsible for 18 dead marines and a drone strike they said was to thwart a suicide bombing, but instead killed10 innocent people. They called him dishonorable after 17 years of service for telling the truth and asking for account ability Please enlighten me when all he asks for is accountability from his chain of command why thats over the top?

If that's the case. Then the Marine Corps better do a psychiatric evaluation on every one of his superiors who signed his performance evaluations over the past 17 years.
