This is the result of both parties violating the Constitution and swearing in an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
Well, there was no grass there, and the CSM couldn't yell at troops to stay off the grass.
Poor CSM had to find SOMETHING to do.
Democrats won power and they’re aligned with the hard Left that rioted for seven months last year. The brass will serve the gang in power.
Patton: Take the first battalion over this ridge in the morning
Officer: But their LGBT activists say it’s not fair that they can’t have their lattes when they wake up
Patton: Get that battalion in place
Officer: The LGBT activists are asking if it is a “safe place.”
Patton: Look soldier, I need those troops in fighting formation ready to go
Officer: Are you using verbal violence on me?
Patton: WHAT!
Officer: Look, my two mothers didn’t raise me to deal with this patriarchal abuse. I have problems of my own and now you using micro aggression on me, well...
Patton: Get this pantyhose out of here!
Officer: You sexist clown... you won’t even have transgender washrooms for the troops. Thank God Biden got elected!
George Patton would have personally shot many of our current crop of elected leaders. Possibly more ‘Republicans’ than Democrats.
“The brass will serve the gang in power.”
The brass are looking forward to big pensions with COLA which most taxpayers do not have. They are looking forward to double dipping with cushy consulting jobs, corporate board seats, and executive roles at big defense contractors. To take advantage of these benefits all they have to do is play the game and be ready to collect on retirement day. As you said the brass will serve the gang in power. If they are one day asked to order their troops to round up American citizens or fire on citizens the only question they will ask is “How many do you want?”
Ahhhhh…..socks.
Seems unimportant, but it’s not.
I am glad the SGM had a sock inspection.
Young Soldiers, and civilians, have no idea of the importance of socks to a Soldier.
Walk through swamps for 30 days and find out how important they are.
The problem is that too many leaders focus only on the little things and neglect the big things.
Amen
The author has never been in the military and does not know what he’s talking about. If the CSM thinks checking his soldiers socks is important to him, then it is important to everyone else. My thoughts, based on 20 years in the Navy, is he was nipping something in the bud. Maybe everyone was getting too lax about other or all the rules. It’s called discipline and uniformity and it’s all about paying attention to detail. You get a lot of that in boot camp.
You’re right about more Republicans!
Exactly - COTTON socks? They should be berated.
Wool - high percentage merino wool, and accept no substitutes.
Poor leadership permeates throughout the entire government. A majority of these people would starve if they had to work in the real world.
The author doesn’t claim to have been in the Military. As a matter of fact he writes that he served as a civilian in Iraq. There were many that did. He was not the only one, I am sure. Remember the time after the war started some of those terrorists blew up that bridge (I don’t remember where exactly and many of those US civilians were killed.
Yep, you are right, or at least put them in the brig etc. for failure in duties, command, the wrong war mindset, etc.!
Maybe the type of sock is important to avoid rotting the feet with constant sweat, etc.
The color of sock is NOT important, especially in active war, etc.
Yes, discipline is important, though not to a micromanaging degree, especially during active war, etc.
See my comment I just posted about socks specifics.
Heaven help us if we get into a Big War with a Modern State. This time I don’t think we will win. If we fight Russia we will be luck to pay reparations to Putin and lose Alaska. If we fight China we will have Chinese soldiers patrolling the streets and lose Hawaii. They will not care if they are called racists.
Sometimes, seconds count.
If you are doing an inspection just prior to moving out, you don’t have time to play 20 questions with every private in the unit.
“The author doesn’t claim to have been in the Military.”
From my post:
“The author has never been in the military”
I never said he said he was in the military; I simply said he was not in the military. My point is that he, despite his civilian service (on which I have no opinion because I know nothing else about him), doesn’t know what he’s talking about as far as military discipline and that was the basis of his entire article. That’s really my only point. I assume you post articles for discussion since that’s the whole point of Freerepublic. Do you want to debate my point or just make stuff up that I didn’t say? I distinctly remember when the contractors were killed in Iraq. There were, unfortunately, many contractors kill in Iraq, both security types and regular workers. What’s your point?
