put out of your mind any romantic ideas that it's a way of glory. It's a life of suffering and hardship, an uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty

@GBNT1952 @ChrisLoesch Far to many have enjoyed the security of western civilization without having any skin in the game. They actively align with islamists out of shared hatered for western civilization unaware that they are ceding their lives to the barbarians.

@GBNT1952 When I was OIR RRF 14 years ago we war gamed Iran and its proxies. When assigned to a different theater 8 yrs ago we war gamed china. Then back to the ME and then back to the PACIFIC & then & then ad nauseam… whatever, she needs to leave her egocentrism at the door.

@American1068 @infantrydort @Asst_to_the_RM @DrChaseSpears @LibertySuperman @Kristinawong Have principles and stand by them, if you get smoked and your politics suck, own up to it, take your lumps and go on with life - don’t be a bitch and whine.

One thing you need to understand about senior generals is that many of them are effectively socialist.

Think about it. They don’t have the market discipline to require them to be productive. What they produce is pleasing their senior officers, therefore, rising in rank. There’s no bottom line because they have an endless supply of money. Do you think any corporation would keep CEOs who didn’t win a war for 30 years? But look at the Pentagon. Look at the generals who are complaining. That’s them.

Now, reserve generals are a little different because they actually have to operate in the real world as civilians. I had generals who were corporate CEOs. And they were awesome. Still, if you are a senior general, you have spent 30 years in a government command environment. When you don’t like something, you give a command to change it. That’s how they think problems get solved. They don’t understand capitalism or entrepreneurialism – it’s against everything they’ve ever worked for. They want a rigid hierarchy with themselves at the top, making all the decisions. That’s why they’re inevitably for Democrats and such policies as gun control.

They also protect the club. And that means rejecting any kind of accountability. You can do that when you’re in a rigid hierarchy. Why do you think no one ever got fired for the Kabul disaster? And why do you think they are so very upset that Pete Hegseth is picking his generals under his own criteria and not theirs?

You have no idea how it grates upon them that a major is their boss. The last thing they’ll do is look in the mirror and ask why. That’s because they never had to look in the mirror to ask why before now.

Some of them can actually fight – certainly not all of them, as the disasters of the last 30 years have shown – but on any other subject, their views are not only wrong, but actively wrong. They have a child’s view of politics and civilian life. They want to govern by tantrum. But here’s their problem – we civilians are not in their chain of command.

@SGTWipper1Each If you do a job well you get to keep doing it, if you suck then you are doing it more until you are good at it. Then once you are an expert at it, we will promote you to doing paperwork.
