The REMFs thumb their noses at the entire nation. They are only good at one function.... taking care of REMFs.

Are these the same people who recommended the Biden domestic enemy occupation give the Medal of Freedom to mega-dyke Megan Rapinoe because she kneeled during the national anthem?

Wonder if he’s somehow related to ex-New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer...the prostitution king.

Misuse of word “poisoned”, which means something that kills no matter how tiny the dose.

“...Capt. Erik Spitzer, formerly the commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam...”

A captain?

I’d have thought that an officer commanding that kind of installation would have been more higher ranking than a Captain.

WTH is wrong with people nowadays. No decency, no morals, total degeneracy, everybody out for themselves. A demonic spirit has descended upon the USA. Let us pray that the overturn of Roe will bring God’s mercy upon us.

All I see is repeats of “believed to be” from the contaminated water. Is there any actual proof that he knew better and lied? Was the commander told by a usually reliable source that it was safe? Is the commander qualified to test and approve the water?

An equally big slap in the face of the American public was giving the Medal of Freedom to the purple haired America-hating freak Rapinoe.

Legion of Merit at his rank as a Retirement Award is basically a F You.

I have 2 LOM, both awarded upon PCS, one as an E7, one as an E8.

Ok Haley... grow up. If the water won’t light on fire and he was drinking it, what’s your beef.

Gasoline sits on top of water.

In a tank, water will go to the bottom of the tank and gasoline will go to the top of the tank.

Makes sense since the military has a thing for poisoned water (see Camp Lejeune).
