Mike always struck me as a loose cannon, even before the General was forced out. I see he is still out of control. He probably should keep his big mouth shut.

Thanks Billy, I’ve taken way too much Q time here. My question however was because there was no hospital on post that delivered babies so even tho the kids were stationed and lived on post, the babies were born in a German hospital on German soil.
What name? I feel positively 75 IQ when it comes to figuring out a lot of these.
Who is Rachel Brand?
Why was Rachel Brand dismissed?
Didn't look up yet, but sounds as though Rachel Brand would be one to take the place of RR once he's gone, but Brand is no good...
Someone tell me why Schneiderman's removal was important other than what we can all see.
whoa...Brand was reported as resigning
Rachel Brand sounds black-hatish based on the W and Zero appointments. What’s she gonna be doing from Wally World?
Okay, what is this nugget? Who is General K and which JFK are we talking about here? Was there a general K involved with Kennedy? How would that be relevant today?

Lesser Oracle And what is the Military operation? [Green] = green light? Military operation good to go? Approved?
Okay, did a little searching on Rachel Brand, and memory is slightly kicking in. A few snips.
WASHINGTON The Justice Department’s No. 3 attorney had been unhappy with her job for months before the department announced her departure on Friday, according to multiple sources close to Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand.
Brand grew frustrated by vacancies at the department and feared she would be asked to oversee the Russia investigation, the sources said.
Top Justice Department official Brand quit partly over fear she might be asked to oversee Russia probeShould Rosenstein be fired, Brand would be next in line to oversee Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, thrusting her into a political spotlight that Brand told friends she did not want to enter.
Another article:
Steve Vladeck Who is Rachel Brand, and how does her resignation affect Mueller’s Russia investigation?
The reason why all of this matters is because the associate attorney general is the designated successor to the Justice Departments second-highest ranking official, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. And it is Rosenstein, thanks to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who authorized Muellers investigation in the first place and who is the only government official with the legal authority to directly fire Mueller and otherwise terminate his investigation. In other words, Rosenstein is the crucial fulcrum between the political leadership of the Trump administration and the quasi-independent special counsel. The president cannot directly interfere with the special counsels investigation without going through or getting rid of Rosenstein.
Nothing much, if she told them she resigned when she was really fired.
Was this RR sting op brought to us by the letters N and G?
I think I read that right.
We need to find out if Pinocchio is a bad guy.
