@shashj I want America to have the strongest military in the world.
And to be clear... I'm the OG for rage posting. We should all be given grace to delete things we want to take back. Welcome to America friend.
Why is this chick so upset?
How can a journalist allege a racial slur and then not provide the receipts?
Ma’am, allow me the opportunity to clarify the ethos of the War Department:
We focus on War. And promote those best at facilitating it.
P.S. I canceled my economist subscription as a Captain in Afghanistan when people like you got the upper hand.
We don't want a "commitment to jointness," we want to identify fighting ability within the joint force.
It's different cause you can be committed and suck. And you can appear apathetic or obtuse, but turn out to be brilliant when put on the "X." It comes down to performance and merit.
But to help you out, JPME II, taught at the War Colleges, where you were a "department chair," does have a CJCSI defining the expectation of a joint qualified officer. This instruction is where all joint learning outcomes are derived.
More than 20 years ago, when I was a department chair at the Naval War College, I was told that faculty would be evaluated on their “commitment to jointness.”
I asked my boss, a decorated combat veteran, what that meant.
He said “I have no idea”
“When you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is. They care whether the pilot is qualified. Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory.” 🔥🔥
@WesleyHuntTX Needs to be a Secretary in the administration February ‘27 or later.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
Gilbert Scheller. My grandfather. Landed at Normandy. He visited in his 80s and got a standing ovation at the Normandy museum. Lest we not forget. D Day 🫡🇺🇸
Great to see @SecNav Hung Cao in Normandy for the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day to honor American and Allied forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🙏 🇺🇸
He brought his children to Normandy — at his own expense — to honor the fallen of the Greatest Generation. Americans who gave everything to defeat tyranny & save the world.
Every parent should teach their kids what real sacrifice & courage look like. That’s how we keep freedom alive.
Proud to serve alongside a Secretary of War who leads by example, on & off the battlefield.
@Fauxtroycalhoun@Ami_Marisol@infantrydort Agree with the court martial and psychological issues statement. Not sure I’ve been 3rd string for anything ever. Much love my fellow (warfighter?)
