Givers need to learn to set limits. Takers have no limits, they just take.

@BrianCox_RLTW My Esquire

Hey. Legal Eagle. As far as I can tell you're nothing but a social media troll who hides behind an anonymous X handle & lacks the intestinal fortitude to quote tweet so I don't get notified that you're over there talking shit. These 4 pics cover 22 total years of service that spanned 3 different MOSs as an enlisted soldier & 2 CMFs as a commissioned officer & included a security force deployment to 🇭🇹 (1997) & combat deployments to 🇮🇶 (2003-04) + 🇦🇫 (2013-14). The 15 years I spent on the line contributed to my experience, perspective & knowledge as an Army judge advocate during the final 7 years before retirement. I also have no idea if you ever even served - or if you did whether you were a JAG. I'm assuming from your comment while subtweeting me that you did both...though that is of course merely an assumption since you run an anonymous account. If so to both, though, you are absolutely the worst kind of military lawyer. It's shitbags like you who give the rest of the legal services a bad name. See, that 15 years on the line made me that much better of a military lawyer when I switched over because I had spent so long doing the work of my organizational clients before then becoming their legal advisor. I saw the world the way they did because I had walked for so long in their boots. Besides, you don't know me. You have no clue what led me to retire when I did in 2018 after "only" 7 years as an Army judge advocate. But that is the last occupation I held before separating, so that makes me a retired military lawyer. If you think that's "doing a lot of work," you can eat shit. That's exactly what I am...a retired military lawyer who ALSO just happens to have 15 years of experience on the line before switching to 27A. As you can tell, I've also been busy accumulating academic qualifications & experiences since I retired almost exactly 8 years ago now. 15 years as a combat soldier contributed to my experience as a military lawyer, just as 22 years of total military experience contributes to my experience as a law prof today. Now, I have a feeling this exchange isn't going to go all that well for you, at least not here @X. If that's accurate, just think of this as an opportunity for personal & even professional growth. And if you're ever interested carrying on this most enlightening exchange, I'm all for it. Show your face like I have mine, and maybe your opinion will carry a little more weight. Oh. And if you have something to say in future, I encourage you to muster even a modicum of courage to tag, reply, or QT me directly. If you don't want the people who DO know your identity thinking you're a sniveling, pathetic little coward, that would certainly be the most favorable course of action.

@TheBuddyCSM Had a guy come over from Italy, movie star good looks His first day of PT was combat rules push ball. Lost his front teeth

Friday! Push Ball for PT right? See you in the hospital!

@AnnaDsays I am still confused by the opening scene where the armored truck drives into the house but then the rear ramp drops in the living room

This bitch.

@Sgt_ShaneV @gregkellyusa "In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place..."

@Nav5_Oh @gregkellyusa 👍 That's a nice clean tat that has a lot of story and meaning. Nice work

What the hell is up with all of these TATTOOS everywhere? “Back in the Day” only Sailors got them when they were DRUNK in the Philippines. Then it became a “Thing” with STRIPPERS in the 90s. Now I see Dentists, Teachers, Nurses, Interns all TATTED UP. My Theory: It’s an Easy, quick way to feel Distinctive and Special, WITHOUT actually doing the WORK to be Distinctive and Special. Too much “Ink” and Selfies, Not enough GRIT. #tatsaresilly

@terryschappert Little known fact: the beaver fur trade all but disappeared around the year 2000

I really want to feed a beaver.

@braxton_mccoy Can I offer some perspective from my generation? You were in Anbar because my trip to Iraq in '91 was truncated. We should have kept going

This was not an uncommon experience in Anbar. I went in a true believer but after about 3 months it was clear no one had any clue what the grand strategy was. Shouldn't be a surprise that guys who went through this transformative period don't want zoomers to deal with the same.

@Joseph65557799 @jacksonhinklle If you really support the mullahs, you wouldn't put the Shah's flag in your post

@jacksonhinklle USA underestimated Iran 🇮🇷 Iran has nothing to lose but to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran announces that ALL American bases in region have been ELIMINATED and they are now looking for the hidden military personnel

@MorEdge_Insight @SurvivalMindse1 Glass it. Wipe the mullah regime from the face of the earth. End their bloodlines. Then when the real Iranians take over again, help rebuild with a 21st century Marshall Plan

According to CNN, Iran has reinforced Kharg Island with troops, air defenses, and mines, preparing for a potential US ground operation. US officials warn of high risks, including heavy casualties, due to layered defenses and recent deployments of Iranian MANPADs and anti-armor mines. If that’s the case, how about dropping a few loads of napalm and turning the entire island to glass. Then let the Marines do their thing on the dust and rubble?

@beerundbacon "AA = Alcoholics Anonymous" That tracks for all branches of the US military though...

@IMAO_ @BamaJayTee My all-time favorite from the political arena

Everyone assumes this picture of Buttigieg is him eating a chicken wing, and that's because he's biting in a way to engage his "rip-the-flesh-from-the-bone" front teeth, so we fill in "chicken wing" to make it make sense. But what he is actually eating is a small piece of a cinnamon roll, and our brains just can't comprehend biting into a small piece of dough that way. It's like an alien took over a human body and is unfamiliar with the subtleties of how it works.

@VBStrong_67 Control the head, the body follows

Are vehicle extraction techniques not taught at academies anymore?

@tndbaker06 If an intruder breaks in, I roll over and activate the sound of a shotgun racking on my phone, then go back to sleep

Shotguns are inferior to ARs for Home Defense. Hunting shotguns are inferior to tactical shotguns for home defense, and pump shotguns are inferior to semi auto shotguns for home defense. Nobody gives a shit about the pump sound. Why isn’t your home defense gun loaded?

@braxton_mccoy Then bring them in to police up the chutes left on the DZ

I don't want boots on the ground, but in terms of comedy it would be top tier to move Marines with amphibious capabilities into the area just to make them watch Rangers parachute onto an island or two.

@BollingerTodd Spit shined jungle boots w 550 cord laces

Yes I am!

@TheBuddyCSM Anyone that went to JRTC when it was at Ft Chaffee could sit in that same chair

On this day in 1958, Elvis got his first shitty haircut from the PX.

@StackEmUpAgain @chuckdawg95 @TonyLaneNV I used to work in a town with a bird sanctuary that became a gay cruising venue Had some interesting birds in there that your description of this guy brings to mind American Swallow Red-Faced Puffer Scuff-Kneed Gobbler Sticky-Backed Nuthatch

@chuckdawg95 @TonyLaneNV STFU.. "veteran combat pilot".. More like veteran corksoaker you goofy lookin cod gobbler.

THIS IS TERRIFYING… CAUGHT ON CAMERA A woman was simply walking her dog… Out of nowhere, a bobcat attacked - and followed her ALL the way to her front door. No warning. No escape. Just pure chaos in seconds. This can happen in your own neighborhood depending on where you live. 🐾 If this was you… what would you do? Are you even prepared for something like this? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@Silverback375 Have thought many times about going, but the whole "WTF would you know about combat" vet vs vet BS on here....no thanks

I went to a couple of these type of group meetings early on. TBH the prelude to the meeting was talk of drug and alcohol abuse shit talk. Once the meeting started the stories went something like this “when I was driving the wrecker on the FOB and a mortar attack happened I got scared.” I didn’t encounter one combat arms Veteran in a group of around 20-30.

@Aelthemplaer Think less airborne ops and more quick force projection to the region. 82nd Division Ready Brigade is wheels up from Pope, with all their shit, in 18 hrs

There's a reason the US rarely used paratroopers for island hopping in the pacific. You should think about why. Your fathers were wiser.
