I’d rather drink the water from a tin of tuna than be asked to share a fun fact about myself as an icebreaker during a team building activity at work

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

The United States military is on the precipice.

We find ourselves in the midst of this constitutional crisis not through overwhelming force from nefarious actors, but through the conciliatory actions taken by well-meaning military leaders operating in good faith.

These good faith actions included the prioritization of institutional loyalty. Under normal circumstances, this would be an admirable thing.

However, leaders at all levels were forced and coerced into prioritizing their institutional loyalties over their rightful loyalty to the Constitution, and in many cases, over their own consciences.

Vice Admiral Dean Lee and I wrote the above article to highlight the crisis caused by these conflicting loyalties and to offer some solutions to help re-order the military’s constitutional loyalty in accordance with the oath we all took.

Now is the time for deep introspection.

We must hotwash every aspect of the military’s COVID-19 mandates to identify any mistakes made and to explore the actions required to repair recent harms.

If the United States military desires to retain any semblance of credibility, military leaders must acknowledge the lessons learned, own up to them, and endeavor to never repeat the same mistakes again.

Please read this article and share with anyone who still believes in this great American experiment and who is willing to fight to keep our constitutional republic alive.

Whatever dipshit was president during most of COVID and turned over policy control to Fauci, and still has never apologized for doing so, should probably never be allowed near the Oval Office again, huh?

Boomers had amassed enough wealth by 40 to have a midlife crisis. Millenials have amassed enough wealth by 40 to buy their first house. Something something work ethic, avocado toast, make your own coffee.
