U.S. military needs to lose a lot more than a drone of a model they’re trying to get rid of anyway “Abrupt End Of Air Force MQ-9 Reaper Buys Points To New Focus On Survivable Drones”

I will remember the quote that, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf”.

That quote has an interesting history.

This tragedy of women in combat preceeding endorsement of LGBTQ+ behaviors provide another reason I now always council people to never enter the armed forces.

Counsel, not council.

[Retain Mike]

Yep. Word spell check got me again.

I appreciate the article about the quote. I knew it had pretty unclear history and that is why I didn't attribute it to anyone.

“They saw the atrocious pullout of Afghanistan.”

Heard the story by our troops on the ground?

They had the suicide bomber in their sights, but couldn’t get higher-up permission to take him out.

They have to do more than to get rid of their woke image they need to get rid of their practices too

There is, to an extent, a point where image and reality meet. It’s a start.

Vindman isn’t American in any way, shape or form.

Vindman is shaped liked an American, but yes, he's not an American. Western Ukraine's interests are always first with him.

My son who is a staff sergeant and a 11 B can’t wait to get out.
Biden sucks. Every member of his staff blow.

I assume your son is a squad leader. Does he have any lactating females in his squad? That’s what the infantry really needs.

I would not want to be on a battlefield and be dependent on a CO who is gay or gender confused. Both of those conditions are abnormal. Not a trait I want in a leader.

I'd be more worried about a CO that has a nasty habit of encoding coordinates incorrectly. I had one of those, he would have gotten us killed if it had been the real thing. However, your point is well taken.

They're just trying to blow smoke up our butts, and it ain't working.

Just damn, medals are given out like skittles nowadays.

LOL, I did 8+ years on active duty: all I had to wear were a couple of "I was there" ribbons, an ARCOM, and an MSM.

Just damn, medals are given out like skittles nowadays.

This says it all.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Spot on.

I got a chuckle about your reference to Vindman’s shape. Very apt.
