This is who they are, and they're telling you up front

 When I call this ruling junta a crop of anti-American Marxists who hate you, I'm not joking.

The Defense Department’s National Defense University (NDU) — the premier educational institution in the country for military and civilian leaders on all things defense — is planning to host what should be a controversial as hell lecture on how the U.S. and other Western countries should in effect bow to China and adopt socialism in response to the growing challenge from the expansionist Communists in Beijing.

Let that sink it.

I don't know how many times I've said it, but Lloyd Austin is a walking piece of shit.  He was a piece of shit at CENTCOM, and he's a piece of shit now.  The only thing that Lloyd Austin truly cares about is imposing his politics onto the military and ensuring that the US Army cannot win any more wars.

Did I mention that I'm retiring?

And note that this lecture is being held at the National Defense University.  That's where Colonels go to become Generals.  You can bet your sweet ass that the minions of Lloyd Austin and Thoroughly Modern Milley will be there to see who might possibly object to getting on their knees and sucking China's cock, and those who do object ain't getting their star.

And those Colonels fucking know it.

This is how you have a flag officer corps that is entirely converged and needs to be fired from the top down.
