I served in a meritocracy as a Navy officer during Vietnam. My chiefs were part of the Greatest Generation with service from the Battle of the Coral Sea to Okinawa.

I would never recommend anyone I know serve now, but then I don’t associate with the LGBQT-whatever crowd and their supporters. The services should now rely on these people. Obama made sure any officers who did not support that agenda left.

Thanks for your service, Mike. As a butterbar platoon leader, my most valuable guidance came from my 3 Platoon Sergeants, all who had at least one tour in Nam. In garrison, they ran the show. Once we left the motor pool, it was showtime for me, and I reveled in it.

Couldn't understand why so many didn't rise to the occasion. I was having the time of my life, and my soldiers fed off of that.

Now, the Courtney Massengales are doing their best to run off the few Sam Damons remaining. I aspired to be Sam, but that was a high bar to reach.
