With Obama’s generals running the defense of our country, there is no chance I would recommend that a young person join the military. Join and the first thing they will do is pump you up with the Fauci/Wuhan death shots.

With Obama’s generals running the defense of our country

Courtney Massengales all.

It's funny, but my senior leaders had my back more than my battery and battalion commanders (until my last Bn Cdr in Germany, but that's another story).

I had just made 1st LT, and one of my "extra duties" was a reserve force leader when our local Nike Hercules battery had an NSI (Nuclear Surety Inspection). I had 4 hours to assemble 40 air defenders and get them over to the site about 5 miles away.

On my last one, I was feeling pretty good as we were there in 3 1/2 hours. However, the chief evaluator, a LT Col, started giving me a ration of crap, i.e. "why weren't you here, earlier?"

He didn't like my answer, that I took the time to train my soldiers in infantry tactics, because they hadn't seen that since Basic Training. I wasn't going to have them running around, with live ammunition, without having a sense of purpose as to their mission.

He didn't like my answer, to the extent he made several pointed comments in the outbriefing. My friends in the other battery were giddy, as that meant they passed their NSI with flying colors. If that was the worst the evaluator could comment on, in front of the ENTIRE CHAIN OF COMMAND, up to Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM, then life was good.

When the evaluation team left, BG Archie Cannon made my day. As he opened his remarks, he pointed at me and said, "Lieutenant, I'll take that hit for you. Anytime you want to give your soldiers extra training, you have my express permission." Thus concluded one of the best days of an otherwise undistinguished military career...lol.
