Says an outspoken pro Putin poster! Do we want to pay Ukraine to drain the Putin war machine, or some day send tens of thousands of our young men to do the job? My son is just retiring from 25 years in special units, and I don’t want to see my grandchildren having to follow in his footsteps.

I’m sure your grandkids will be marching off to war in the Ukraine or some other cesspool, but mine won’t. I’m not dopey.

The money won’t be cut off until President Trump is back in office. That gives Ukraine about 3 fiscal years of support.

No I’m not pro-putin as you poot it.
However I am Anti-soros,anti-schwab,anti-biden and especially anti-Zelensky.A bad peace is usually better than a good war...After these evil-doers are gone , then I’ll be happy to join you towards cheering for the next highest priority level evil-doer (putin) to be removed from power.I think the world will be safer if UKR is neutral and the neocon globalists are neutered. I have two children in the US army and do not approve of Biden getting us into other countries civil wars.

I agree. Far better to help the Ukies kill off the Russian bandits than having to do it ourselves.

Soviet Russia must be destroyed.

Perhaps we need to begin to fortify all ourcoastlines and prepare entrenchments around all our cities. Call LTC Vintman back to active duty Tobin charge of our defensive plans.

Remember —- RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. 🙀🙀

Unless there is a draft, they won't have to.

I served at the beginning of the AVF, 76-84. I lived through those challenges as a Platoon Leader, XO, and Staff Officer (mostly S-4 (Supply Officer)) during my 4 years in Germany, 6/56 ADA (Chaparral/Vulcan), motto "Night Hides Not".

My last battalion commander was great, turned around a C-3 battalion to a C-1. A big part of that was discharging 60 underperforming soldiers via Chapter 13...basically 10% of the battalion. He caught hell from higher HQ, but he stuck to his guns.

He was promoted to Colonel, we both went back to Fort Bliss about the same time. As luck would have it, I worked for him again at a directorate on Fort Bliss...met my wife there, too. He appointed me his Operations Officer, a LT Colonel slot, that's how much confidence he had in me.

Along with the "war stories" I've told my sons and nephews, I advise them not to join the military. It's not the same military that I served in. In this Army, I'd never make it to First LT. In a way, that's cool, too. I loved being a Platoon Leader, most fun I had in the Army. With the possible exception of Battalion S-4, made great use of my public accounting degree.
