#1 You can blame the Champ for a great many things, but the DoD "laboratory of social engineering" began long before the Champ arrived on the scene. He simply 'kicked it up a notch.'

The absence of an angry conga line of senior officer protestations, resignations, and early retirements provides clear evidence that the social engineering programme has WORKED !

#2 Hey Fat Bob brown, the coup was so slow that you missed it. A marxist, commie, socialist plan hatched in the mid 20th century took over education, labor unions, media, hollywood and the Democratic Party. The last steps are health care and military.

#3 Not just the military who is distrustful and miserable under Obumble. Well, maybe not the illegals who are here on this day and those who are still coming across the border every day.

#4 a lot of uniformed personnel are ticked off (not just the military but police, INS, public health officers)

however, there are some who see sucking up as a great way to advance and are going full speed ahead

#5 Nero and his cronies don't understand that these guys really don't have to be a threat, but just be neutralized or alienated enough to standby and watch when someone else does the dirty work.

It goes back to the hunting group or squad. You look out for each other's back. You have to in order to expand your chances of survival. When a miscreant is put in the team and makes enough trouble, the 'others' just 'look the other way' when that time comes. When you pick up that phone in an emergency and dial 911, you discover no one is on the other end of the line.

#6 Its the old Courtney Massengale vs Sam Damon battle - and Obama wants a military full of Massengales, whcih will end up with an incompetent military and a lot of dead soldiers. After all, us military are not "his" people, so what doe he care? For Obama, and ValJar, Reward his cronies, punish his political enemies, and who gives a flying f**k about the nation.

#7 This might have something to do with a Commander in Chief more bent on “responsibly ending wars” than decisively winning wars. Just sayin’.

#9 I haven't heard of "Courtney Massengale vs Sam Damon battle?" I have heard of Massengill products which are disposable feminine douches. There's got to be a joke in there somewhere.

#11 Once an Eagle. On the USMA reading list, and the Commandant's list for the Marines too I beleive.

Every officer my generation allegedly has read it.

#12 I wuz betting James Jones, wrong again. Still I think my Uncle LJ. Had a partin the making of "From Here to Eternity". He was AWOL for the longest time before December 7, but then got his butt to the first Marine officer of note he could find. It happened to be Roy Geiger, stripped of rank and pay and send to Fleet Marine Force Pacific. For many years we thought the novel was "Some Came Running". But as it turned out "whistle" was closer to the mark.

Let us now praise famous men
