@johnkonrad I don't know where you get your information but the B-1 is absolutely NOT the best weapons system in the Air Force and NO ONE in the Air Force thinks that it is.
@SkylarSkye3 The worst thing that Brits say is Americans are "historically British." It is not true at all. The majority of the South was African at the time if the Revolution (thus, the 3/5 Compromise). Since then many ethnic groups and nationalities have made us uniquely American.
@axidentaliberal Where have to learned that military members https://t.co/7EC1rFlmJk determine for themselves what orders are unconstitutional outside of the Law of Armed Conflict. You say you're a lawyer, please provide a specific citation to a statute or regulation.
@DarinBashaw@GrumpyAv8r And what exactly are you doing? You're celebrating the division between the military and the population it serves. This only makes military officers appear politically motivated which is the opposite of what the nation needs.
@Glad2baNana@wwSinclairww@Titanmedic Officers don't have contracts. They have commissions. The lawyer you mentioned obviously doesn't know what they're talking about. You do give up certain 1A rights when you join the military. It is a crime to do what he did if you're in the military. He should have resigned 1st.
@DanLamothe@DanLamothe do you think that offering an opinion that an organization made up of millions of people from every zip code and neighborhood in the United States might have different perspectives and feelings on political issues is somehow a groundbreaking insight?
@RadioFreeTom Had the GOs created a strategynthat achieved real victory many lives would have been saved and stability would have been created and the elected leaders would have been able to order a withdrawl based on strategic and operational success.
@RadioFreeTom The GOs set the strategy. Petraeus wrote COIN and was credited as a military genius for it. Except, it was a complete failure. He either disregarded or misunderstood the proven theory written by David Galula and taught at the Army War College. His strategy failed.
@SchmukQatarlson We had won so much we left and had to go back because ISIS was literally crucifying people, right? Because one of the most ancient cities on earth we had to reduce to rubble to recapture it. Not the stuff victory is made of.
@KurtSchlichter No commander since Alexander the Great had conquered Afghanistan and even then, it was the most grueling campaign of his storied career and he was unable to hold it. Neither the British or the Russians were successful, but our GOs knew better. HUBRIS
@KurtSchlichter So let's take Desert Storm as an good example of victory. Clearly defined end state aka the Ends, employ overwhelming fires from the air to destroy the enemy followed by seizure of terrain by ground forces aka the Ways, & engagement w/Congress & the public aka Means = Strategy
