Is there ANY doubt the US military has become as political as the FBI?
I HATE what is happening, and I’m a 25 year vet. Newsmax showed some of the otherwise unseen video last night, to include the idiot refusing to get out because “I don’t have to” and complaining how, as a serviceman, he was too special to obey a cop.
AND that he was concealing a gun on his person, while in uniform. In my day, concealed weapons were not allowed in uniform! Or out of uniform, if I’m on base. That part is still true. Don’t like it, but it is true.
23-year Marine vet here. DoD Directive 1344.10 is now a dead letter.
In fact, you could argue that uniformed service members now have an implicit obligation to speak out favorably on progressive politics given the public comments of SecDEF, Joint Chiefs, several service branch leaders and unified combatant commanders.
It’s a Bizzaro-world that undermines good order & discipline making our military much less likely to be able to accomplish its mission when called upon.
It’s also true that concealed weapons are not allowed on base much less on base and in a POV. For better or worse, they have to be secured and stowed in every command I’m familiar with.
I would have hoped the now senior enlisted we trained would maintain the force professionalism.
That response to a officer refusing to follow orders will have major repercussions with the enlisted following suit.
My hopes are about gone for our Union.
O-3E
