“Being a Have in a Have or Have Not society is a great place to be for some.”

Which is one of the reasons they want to disarm the American people.

“These people will not go quietly into the night and they are invested, both literally and figuratively, in the “managed decline” of the US - economically, politically and socially.”

And they plan to be members of the ruling elite, with money, private homes, cars, plenty of good food and drink, guns.

But, history informs us it will turn out poorly for them.

“That is the fruit of 8 years of Obama.”

No, this is fallout from BJ Clinton with the likes of the Monica Shinseki that bitched out the CGSC students for saying they believed senior officer would run them over with a truck to further their careers.

8 years of clintoon followed by 8 years of obama destroyed military integrity in senior offiers.

"We are heading to an ugly sniper war like that in the balkans, where the factions will be identified by obvious racial and socio-political differences."

I fully agree... We're going to need a chart to keep track of our friends and enemys from one day to the next...

“Trump is jeopardizing the cozy relationship between the military, Congress and their ties to the purveyors of big toys for the big boy flag officers.”

The “military-industrial complex”’ Ike warned America of in 1961:

Just as we have a certain number of bad cops....bad accountants.....bad pharmacists......bad bus drivers.....there are a certain number of bad military officers. Nothing about throwing on the uniform automatically confers honor or competence upon someone.

What’s going on is they are building the narrative that as we get closer to the election and as Bill Barr’s investigation starts leading to indictments and potentially arrests...it will be characterized as a purge by the Trump Administration.

I submit to everyone cheering for Bill Barr to take a step back and consider this long drawn out process. He’s not our friend. He’s deep state and is creating a quasi false flag event. Couple that with the predicted and anticipated siege starting on September 17th.

The narrative is already in motion! If Barr is on the side of representative freedom he needs to act now!

Trump’s dislike of war has saved many American military lives.

“That is the fruit of 8 years of Obama.”

That is the fruit of over six decades of our military-industrial complex and BIG $$$ to military leaders feeding it.

Who do top military leaders typically work for after retirement?

Our founders warned us of the dangers of standing armies.

Yep, that's the bottom line. The armed forces are a microcosm of the general public, to a great degree. As the population becomes less intelligent and less patriotic, primarily due to creeping socialism infecting the education system and not enough parents caring about it, we will see more of this insanity. "Great Society" vote buying has placed the nation onto the path toward a serious reckoning.

I have a leftist retired officer next door.

Leftist politics is one of the few things he and his wife agree upon.

I know someone who knew Hackworth very well from their time together in the military.

He was very instrumental in helping me at a difficult time in life, and David was responsible for him being there.

"I believe these officers are full of crap!"

Perhaps it has to do with where the were educated..
I'll wager a lot of the "90 day wonders" came out of the liberal collages and universities.. No doubt being elites rats to the bone..

Another retired officer, a former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, imagined the military in battle with armed Trump supporters, the result being that “all bets are off as to how much blood might flow.”

Make no mistake, they want to kill us. Make them do it at a Great Cost!
