General Milley is probably as much of a general as Doctor Fauci is an MD (ie. not licensed to practice medicine anywhere in the U.S.).
Milley barked back at Hawley: “I take my orders from my President and Commander in Chief Joseph Biden, not you Senator.” :)
DoD will use the embarrassment to ask for more money to improve “readiness”. But we all know where the money would go, and it wouldn’t be to produce better fighters.
In DC everything is about more money to support the lifestyles of the elites.
No matter how they are "dressed" they will make excellent targets if they come for my guns.
The gubmint violated posse comitatus at Waco, so they would in a gun grab as well.
Despite having some validity, Hawley seems to be pushing hard for a higher office - he’s approaching ‘Schumer-level’ Attention-Whore capability.
bkmk
It’s my understanding that the areas surrounding D.C. are the most affluent in the country.
That should tell anyone all they need to know about the state of our country
Hawley should have barked back “Oh, given your history I thought you took your orders from Speaker Pelosi and the Deep State rather than from the president of the United States.”
I remember way back in ‘77 driving my POV out to a site where one of my squads was training in an open field, away from the motor pool. It was in August, and there were no training funds remaining.
I received my additional training by volunteering for temporary duty with a sister battalion participating in Reforger ‘77.
I received some derision from that, but I had the last laugh, when my platoon was the only one of four platoons to pass during a tactical evaluation.
There’s an element of truth to what you’re saying about Hawley. IMO, too much emphasis is being placed on this routine training exercise. I’m sure there were many great lessons learned, that both sides benefited from it.
Might be time to slash the military budget
“Milley barked back at Hawley: “I take my orders from my President and Commander in Chief Joseph Biden”
He said that to Lessie Holt last night on NBC news.
I heard that some of the men guarding the station were busily engaged with changing their feminine hygiene products.
Apparently one piece of pertinent information that was left out of the story was that the British Marines were part of a composite force made up of Royal Marines, Emirati troops, Dutch and Canadian troops and (surprise surprise) U.S. Marines as well. So if U.S. Marines did surrender, as claimed, they surrendered to U.S. Marines among others.
Marine Corps Rejects Reports That It ‘Surrendered’ To British Forces During Exercise
Yeah I saw that and watched so many people overreact on YouTube. the design of the exercise put the 3rd Marine Regiment into the worst possible scenario in desert warfare: close quarter battle in urban terrain without the benefit of its key advantage: brut firepower.
