I heard our top brass is in favor of renaming bases over trumps objection. Wow.
I served from 1978-1995. The Clinton years were the worst; that’s when a LOT of this woke/gay/anything goes cr@p started.
We lost a TON of Captains and Senior NCOs during those years - I processed their retirements. Recruiting and Retention was having a VERY hard time keeping any remaining patriots on board.
Sad days. But - Elections Matter. We Conservatives are certainly reaping the whirlwind these days, after allowing many DECADES of this stupidity.
The reason for that is they do not fear any repercussions from President Trump unlike when Bathhouse Barry was running things and the Pentagon knew any dissent meant immediate dismissal.
I think the present reality is that Trump is not really the Commander in Chief. He is that in name only.
The Pentagon has effectively disabused him of that notion or responsibility. I seriously doubt they would dutifully act on his command if such an event were to arise, at least not without them achieving some type of consensus within the Pentagon. In other words, our ability to quickly and decisively respond to aggression is questionable.
Seems like a more expensive proposition than the perfumed princes realize. Which new weapons systems would they like to sacrifice to offset the cost?
