Retired Soldier. Firmly Independent. Still a believer in the oath I took to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
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.

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?
How do we coexist with people that want to murder us?
“Promote ahead of peers” is not the strongest language for an NCOER. “Promote now” or “Already excelling at the level of a [next rank]” is the way to communicate to the board that homeboy/homegirl is a baller.
1/11 Thoughts on the successful rescue of the two downed airman in Iran: First, so incredibly thankful that the mission was accomplished without American loss of life. Second, couldn’t care less about the loss of aircraft on the ground. Military equipment and systems are expected to be lost at some point. But the US military is built around people and saving the lives of the people is worth any amount of equipment.
Jack you’re not the moral authority on what an Afghan is @McCainJack . You keep highlighting virtuous examples of them. Cool. You’re highlighting Afghan pilots who had higher IQ and can therefore understand terms like honor and right/wrong. I was an advisor to these people. The rank and file. So when I call these people barbarians, I fucking mean it with every fiber of my being. You assume too much. And you’re talking with way too much authority and shaming others for their JUSTIFIED views on these people. You simp for less than 1% of Afghans who are justifiably good people and smart. Then you extrapolate it to include the whole country. I’m here to tell you that you don’t speak for us, especially the average Infantryman who suffered in the dirt and dust with these “people” 12-15 months at a time. Stop belittling others or I’ll happily belittle you.
