#4 I would want more than merely condolences from the Sergeant Major of the Army, but perhaps there are subtleties here that as an ignorant civilian I am unaware.

#5 Interesting way to highlight the last six months of decision making.

Sure it will bring great pride to the parents of those soldiers that the planners were totally focused on what style of hair females and trans can wear.

#6 Might explain how the withdrawal was so poorly planned other than throwing out a somewhat coherent approach by the Orange Man Bad

#9 There is only one strategic and tactical mindset and that is inclusion. Any other thoughts cannot be considered unless that person has been through 40 hours of diversity training.

#10 And remember troopers, when you find yourselves behind enemy lines, in the dark, heading towards St. Mere-Eglise, maintain tactical formation by asking each other your preferred pronouns.

#12 Show me someone who thinks the vax should be a choice, and I'll show you a neighborhood which should be patrolled and curfew violators shot down.

#13 I am trying to think throughout history if there has ever been a military leadership which hates the military to this extent.

I can't think of any. Then it occurred to me why. Those nations and peoples were fucking destroyed.

It expressed the opinion that to preserve the republic, an urgent threat needed countering.

#18  SMA used to be the most respected rank in the Army

Really, check out the very first SMA.

At the conclusion of his tour in 1968 as SMA, CSM Wooldridge went on to serve as the Military Assistance Command-Vietnam (MACV) CSM and was later accused of improprieties. He retired in 1972 and in 1973 pled guilty to two counts of bribery for accepting stock from a corporation that did business with NCO clubs in Vietnam.

#19 Procopius, I did not know that. I know and greatly respect a CSM and did not anticipate that things went to sh*t so fast in that ladder - took more steps between Captains I know and respected and the political cadre.
