#5  Wow, the retired ambitious sycophant democrat four star general officers are on a roll today... The blue skies and sunshine have all of them out doing their kabuki dances and shilling for ole sleepy Joe to notice their cleverness.

Ole Stanley is the idiot that got himself fired for self-promotion and a potty mouth, while making one the worst mistakes in military history by deciding to contract all transportation and logistics in Afghanistan to the trustworthy Afghan Taliban front companies...
