@MrNathan_Hale@BradDuplessis As Brad mentioned, another indicator of a culture problem. Prospective authors should be chosen based on the weight of their ideas and the soundness of their argument, not their rank. PFC Smedlap should get published in our professional journals if he something smart to offer.
@infantrydort@RadioFreeTom Cowardice has many forms. Anyone who can’t respond to someone’s point, but instead launches lame attacks on the person is an intellectual coward.
@BradDuplessis Based on pattern analysis, you’re either due a personal attack or your question being ignored. Engaging in honest discourse does not appear to be in Adam’s kit bag of responses.
@Sapperldr@BuckeyeGrad1999@BradDuplessis@infantrydort Starting to think this “guy” is a fraud or a bot. Even junior enlisted Soldiers know the general career path of officers, and know that you can be a scroll wearing Ranger or a tab wearing Ranger, and you can be both. I gave him what he asked for. Let him go. No Fear!
@DJG6940@CoyoteUnclean@infantrydort@SecArmy I condemn any political violence, or the encouragement of it, from any side. A recent example from the left? Hasan Piker. If the Democrats hope to win the vote of Independents like me, they will boot that dude out of their “big tent.”
This is an active duty military officer working in the Pentagon pushing hate against “leftists”, i.e., Democrats. The Army I served in had Soldiers of every political persuasion and no one cared. I thought we’re supposed to be apolitical. @SecArmy, you’re okay with this?
There is no such thing as coexistence in a scenario where people want to murder you.
The side that is the least tolerant of the other, wins. Every time.
Intolerance is the mindset of the victor.
Therefore the leftist ideologue will win in this scenario, barring some renewed resolve.
You see the signs every day.
>Their “politicians” dog whistle for murder and jail
>Their “media” dog whistles for murder and jail
>Their “protestors” will scream DEATH TO TYRANTS at you while you’re fleeing an active assassination attempt against you
You forget, we all seem to forget, that THIS ideology during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, caused people to dig up the bodies of dead nuns for very public desecration.
You can’t comprehend the level of hate that it takes to do something like that. None of us can. But they can.
So they will win, because we tolerate it.
And tolerance is a poisonous virtue when intolerance is pointing a gun at your head.
Tolerance is a noble thing among the civilized. Against the butcher, it is only a prettier name for death. When violence enters the room, tolerance becomes surrender.
We get what we tolerate. And we tolerate everything.
@ImJacksRage@infantrydort@SecArmy While you’re waiting, I suggest you go back and read his initial post. Something like “there is no coexistence”, or the generalizations of “their politicians”, “their media” and “their protesters”. All designed to stir up feelings of animosity towards the “others”.
@infantrydort Haha, that’s the best you got? You’re getting tired. It is late back there in DC, and you’ve been battling valiantly on X all day (on the taxpayer’s dime I might add) so it’s understandable. Take a knee and drink water.
I am curious though, is this really your job?
@HendovRuaGOAT@infantrydort@SecArmy Nobody’s threatening to dox anyone you fucking moron. I said his first name, which has been said before on this platform. Who’s the pussy who would take that as a threat, Josh? Oh, sorry…
@Sapperldr@BradDuplessis Why don’t you talk to me directly? I’m right here. Brad provided an article that mentions me. What else do you want? Sorry, I don’t keep pictures of my field grade promotion ceremony in my wallet (that would be weird), or I’d snap a picture for you.
@Sapperldr@BradDuplessis Thanks for having my back. @Sapperldr what do you want to know? Happy to satisfy any doubts. BTW, two corrections. I served 26 years total, not 23. 4 enlisted and 22 commissioned. Also, I was never a FG in Regiment. PFC->SL & PL in <2>, and Co CDR in <3>.
@Devon_Eriksen_@SaltWater651@SecArmy@infantrydort Yep, and I was telling some left wing extremist idiot what I thought about what he/she said. Thanks for combing through six years of my posts to help disprove the theory that I’m some type of Antifa Commie.
@sasrmaynard@PendragonMR@SecArmy No, Independent means the current two political parties are not working for me, and that I judge a candidate’s worthiness to earn my vote based on their policies and not blind loyalty to a party.
@CoyoteUnclean@infantrydort@SecArmy Where did I say I support left wing violence? Surely you didn’t take that away from my reply to Adam’s original post? You might want to take another look at what I wrote. Advocating for violence against either side is wrong.
@infantrydort Haha, what was that acronym you threw at me this morning? DARVO? I had to look it up. And to respond to me with this? You’re a f’ing hypocrite.
@HeavilyRecruitd Thanks, Dr. Freud, but no. I don’t automatically do anything on this platform. I read what was written several times, and when it talked about “their politicians” and “their media”, tell me, who was he talking about?
