Disagreement is not disloyalty, but undermining is.
Military leaders should do well to remember that. Both uniformed and civilian alike.
Police yourselves. Or risk being subject to policing by others.

A10 goes brrrrrrrt
Joey Jones@Johnny_Joey
For those of you not familiar. The A-10 Warthog is the ugliest, most absurdly beautiful killing machine to ever take flight. A flying chunk of titanium molded around a gatlin gun style cannon; the equally absurd 30mm GAU-8. It commands the adoration of troops on the ground as the sound of its unmistakable mating call the “brrrrrrp” overhead means several enemy fighters have been neutralized. It flies low and slow delivering death more intimately than any other fighter jet could fathom. Cloaked in armor, it’s rumored to be able to take damage to 70% of its airframe and still land with ease. It doesn’t need a long or even paved runway. The uppity nerds running the Air Force have decided to “phase them out” this year… yet here they are continuing to “get some”. I personally think that @USMC should take the them over… they fit perfectly in our “take old shit and make it great” culture.

When process becomes the mission, the outcome becomes the casualty.
Toxic bureaucracy doesn’t just fail people. It breeds a very specific kind of human.
One who replaces empathy with compliance and conscience with checklists.

@infantrydort If I had to guess, I would say that guys providing air support don't like them because they make you fly low and slow. And that guys receiving air support love them because low and slow is how you get effective air support.

Anyone who claims the A10 needs to be retired obviously hasn't been in a ground firefight and needed them.
There are few things more depressing than a gun run from any other platform.
Don't @ me about obsolescence. Everything is "obsolete" if conditions aren't set.

Chairman of the JCS Gen. Dan Caine: "The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz."

A battleship is "obsolete" against a plane.
A tank is "obsolete" against an EFP.
A bayonet is "obsolete" against a loaded gun.
A bomber is "obsolete" against a fighter.
A fighter is "obsolete" against a SAM.
A submarine is "obsolete" against a depth charge.
Stop.

America’s greatest military leaders have always turned to prayer during the most difficult battlefield moments.
When relentless rain stalled his Third Army in WWII, General Patton ordered 250,000 prayer cards printed for every soldier and commanded:
“Pray when driving. Pray when fighting. Pray alone. Pray with others. Pray by night and pray by day… Pray for victory. Pray for our Army, and Pray for Peace.”
Washington prayed at Valley Forge.
Eisenhower called the nation to prayer before D-Day.
Encouraging Americans to pray for our troops on bended knee isn’t controversial — it’s how we’ve always faced impossible odds and won.
God bless our warriors. 🇺🇸
Margaret Brennan@margbrennan
The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name....

@infantrydort That's it!
Your bureaucracy critique had me struggling to recall Thomas Sowell's quote:
"You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats, procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing."
English
The most dangerous leader isn’t the one who breaks the rules. It’s the one who follows them perfectly… while everything collapses around him.
Because he mistakes process for judgment. And by the time he sees the difference, it’s too late.

“She wasn’t a Marine, but she raised one. US Army Sergeant Connie J Purcott, age 62 (my mom), passed away this morning at the James H Quillen VA Medical Center in Johnson City, TN.
She was the best damn mother anyone could ever ask for. She was a fighter and fought till the end. Please honor my mother.” -Josh Purcott, USMC

@txradioguy Thanks for setting the record straight with the screeching zealots who say I violate social media guidelines. Appreciate it.

@infantrydort You're speaking what the majority of us were/are thinking about the current state of things in our military.

My posts will either be held in the highest of esteem, or simply be regarded as the musings of a madman.
There is no in between.

Sometimes I wonder if this was what it was like to read Billy Mitchell's remarks a century ago. I think the military history books decades from now will have screenshots of his posts.

I don’t know why the world is freaking out. This is our natural state. The one we’ve been in for thousands of years.
Chaos and pain is the rule of human existence.
Peace is the rarest of exceptions.
It’s just not rare to you, because you’ve been sheltered.
All of us have.
