#1 I'd rather see them take a stripe, forfeit one month's pay, and be confined to quarters for a month. Article 15 for Conduct Unbecoming...

#2 This article highlights politicalization and destruction of the traditional stance of the military's chain of command with the SecDef representing the forces to the President for his guidance on military readiness and force activity against declared and potential adversaries of the usa.
The present political administration will likely not "defund the military" like the police, it will likely advocate for less funding proportionally, and encourage further "social realignment", which will result in a less effective force.

#4 Take a knee?

Seriously?

He so woke, he can't counter someone who called him woke. The ranks deserve so much more than General Jenners. Boomer. What are we, 13 years old? Got left before you got left?

#5 Note the stupid and pseudo-hip, Kaepernickian slang: "take a knee," "do better," "get right," "boomer."

Is this how the Marines' mktg / communications leaders really talk these days?

Whatever happened to "the few.. the proud"?

#6 Who are these people?

#7 If a millennial in the Marine corp had done this to a democrat, IE CNN host, they would be out on their ass for public execution.. Fuck the Marine Corp Information Group as they crossed the line of their profession and dragged the great Marine Corp into generational political condescending bull. They clearly have a lack of competent leadership there, making the entire Marine Corp of great warriors look bad.

#8 My fear is that Biden and/or his handlers want to import illegal aliens so they can serve in the military because natural born US citizens will no longer volunteer when they realize they'll have to take orders from people like John Kirby. Then we'll have an army of foreigners who don't know any better.
