If a story is too good to be true, checking it out before posting is usually a good idea. That the mainstream news pushes the official narrative regardless of truth, and other subtle and overt propoganda, does not mean taking anyone else at face value is a good idea.

When the truth is so horrendous, there is no need to exaggerate.

One does not simply “walk off the job” in the air force.

Though my brother sort of did after 9 months in the Navy.

Tell me, did you ever see this posted anywhere?

It’s one guy talking in a car.

Why are they treating it like it was everywhere

“If you get your news from a guy ranting in a car, make sure you check your facts.”

Once I read that, I’m through with the story.

Ok, this story is basically the Pentagon says it isn’t true. Just think of the bald faced lies from the pentagram in the last 30 days.
So now we have to decide, a pentagram spokesman, or a random man on twitter in his car.

Coin flip.

“does not mean taking anyone else at face value is a good idea.”

As you post some snarky blog we’re expected to take at face value like you smugly did.

I too knew that particular story was as phoney as anything on CNN.
So far into the worst year for the Unites States since the Civil War, only two military officers have ‘thrown down’ their bars. Only two officers have questioned their leadership. Only two officers has been stripped of their command. Only two officers believed their Constitutional duty & honor were more important thant their fealty to the high command.

In related news too good to be true, An Afghanistan Aide Worker was blown to smithereens by a drone fired missile killing him, seven children, and a small compact car in Kabul.

Note: The SECDEF doesn’t send out texts with direct orders to individual DOD members.
