“It is a military reference. You obviously do not get it. I would not expect a weekend militia type to get it.”
Actually, when I was in “Sparks” was the reference, not Sparky. But, maybe your unit was...different. I served my four years active duty, and two years inactive; I have never been a “weekend militia type,” which I assume you mean the active reserves or the National Guard. Sounds like you are disparaging them. Go down to Bardstown, KY and disparage the National Guard; we’ll probably read about your disappearance or the discovery of your body parts in the newspapers.
“Who gets to decide that “as appropriate” part? Hint #1: It isn’t the Speaker. Hint #2: It is not the military.”
It is the military chain of command that makes the decision.
That begins with the president, down through the DOD, and the various branches of the armed forces.

I was in 20 years active duty, and not in the Air Farce. I see you as one of those morons running around in the woods on weekends and coming back to your mother's basement to play keyboard commando and tell how all should go to war whenever because that's just how bad you are. This is the first time I have heard about how bad the reserves are. They are known as Weekend Warriors, not militia types.

It is a matter of public record that the military advised to not go to Taiwan. They can only advise on such matters. The decision is made by a civilian official and handed down to them. Try again.
US military believes it's not a good idea for Pelosi to travel to TaiwanPresident Joe Biden said the US military believes it is not a "good idea" for House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to travel to Taiwan as planned
Biden says military does not support Nancy Pelosi trip to TaiwanThe president stopped short of suggesting that the House speaker not make the reported visit to the self-ruling island, which Beijing has warned strongly against.
As the military voiced opposition to the trip to Taiwan, perhaps you would like to fabricate some different fairy tale.
