Words can’t explain what I feel seeing someone in a high rank step up and say what needs said.

this needs to be shared far and wide. This man just gave up his entire career, pension, probably everything to do the right thing.

Not quite a century ago, the US Army Court-martialed Billy Mitchell for pretty much the same thing.

Lt col david hackworth got the same treatment at the end of the Vietnam war. His book “about face” is excellent reading.

He can be one of the New Founding Fathers too.
Good to see someone stand up.

I met Hack at a book signing almost 20 years ago. I liked him, probably because the big brass hated him. He predicted within 30 days of calling when Saigon would fall, in 1971.

At work I have a picture of me and him at the book signing I mentioned.

'bout time they got the drones out...

“This strike was not the last," President Joe Biden said. "We will continue to hunt down any person involved in that heinous attack and make them pay."

There needs to be more drones coming over the horizon

A citizen who has free will?

Like the majority of the country. He ain't perfect, but he ain't Trump.

Maybe you didn't think this all the way through, but the way it reads is "I traded mean tweets for dead marines and I'm satisfied with that." Think about it man.

Here’s more… Awesome.

Maybe you didn't think this all the way through, but the way it reads is "I traded mean treets for dead marines and I'm satisfied with that" Think about it man.

I'd think any biden voter who isn't expressing significant regret right now, sincerely would prefer dead marines to mean tweets.

Objectively considering recent performance and negative outcomes, that certainly is an understatement.

Gee, terrorists take advantage of a fluid situation.. COLOR ME SHOCKED.

Seems that tyrants and despots of any flavor never seem to let a crisis go to waste.

The first wave needs to be boner drones but then international animal rights activists would say that we were putting the goats in danger...

 

[jsx1043]

After careful consideration, I have a hot take:

I think this operational plan and it’s astounding failure had to have been done on purpose, with the basic purpose to continue conflict in the region and to keep the MIC cash register going. Even if it isn’t with our own troops, contractors will be raking it in.

Surely we can all agree that those tweets were really hurtful and made people cry.

If Jocko Willink was the US President ...


That's one a true leader does, taking responsibility for everything that happens under his command. Even if it's not directly his fault.

I know a few who have kids in the military. I’ll bet they are changing their tune now. Hard to support someone whose command failures cost you your children.

Regional rewrites are underway. NATO is saying they need a non-US dominant strategy for defense. Arabia joined into a military cooperation agreement with Russia. Iran is giving the new and improved taliban their best Jack Elam stare. China wants to further consolidate the new silk road.
Ick.

I can’t say I blame NATO. The US President is too senile to lead. Obama even called him a ****up. Almost every decision he’s made is wrong. But we get the rainbow flag over the White House during pride month. And he’s not Trump. Those two things are all his supporters care about.

Biden is a demented old puppet and whoever is pulling his strings needs to dangle as well.

 

[KG1]

It's a good thing the top priority is about wokeism right now. Biden and his top military brass got caught with their pants down.
