Was being sarcastic. However not surprised that this chump would actually say it. Sounds like some German general saying he obeys the Fuhrer.

It’s my understanding that the areas surrounding D.C. are the most affluent in the country.

**************

With the river of money flowing into Washington DC how could it be otherwise?

The elites and powerful interests in the Swamp feed at this trough and take care of themselves first and foremost.

The bureaucrats in the area who make all this possible are well rewarded for their complicity in this national scam.

I’m a veteran too. Glad my service didn’t occur in times like these.

So if U.S. Marines did surrender...

*************

So maybe the training objective WAS accomplished.

After the disgraceful debacle in Afghanistan its hard not to see things in this light.

(Note also that our diplomatic embarrassments of late are also evidence of this mentality. Displays of national strength are not appreciated by this regime.)

What good is our military when the borders are open for terrorist and China controls our elections.

Except when you disagree with your commander in chief, then you collude with enemy nations military.

If we get into a major war I would not want my sons fight under these stupid SOB’s in the pentagon.

The Army was very good to me, but there is no way in Hades that I’d recommend someone enlisting or going the route to commissioning in today’s military.

The Sam Damons we need today are being booted out in favor of Courtney Massengales (Once an Eagle reference).

"Train them to fight. Let them do what they do best and stop using the military as a giant social experiment, which is what the left seems to want."

America would be better served by replacing Milley with General Mills. At least Mills is smart enough to know he won't find any Lucky Charms in a pack of Froot Loops.
