Mark Milley isn't just an incompetent, clueless, narcissistic piece of shit,

 He's disconnected from reality.

We have long documented the total lack of hard-nosed military leadership of Army General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on topics ranging from his embrace of CRT and DEI initiativems, to his unqualified support for giving away a third of our critical front-line anti-tank and anti-air missile systems, to his presiding over a major military recruiting crisis due to his own embrace of wokeness and COVID vaccine mandates:

(.....)

We’re not the only ones who have noticed.

Mark Milley was retained as CJCOS precisely because he would do the maximum damage to the US military, thus furthering China's (Joe Biden's puppet masters) goals.  In a time when we need actual leadership, we get this clueless fucking cunt.  If Mark Milley had any decency, he would suck-start a shotgun, but only after he removed that walking piece of shit Lloyd Austin from the earth as penance for his sins.

The Army is now paying for female Soldiers to travel so they can get an abortion

 Jesus wept.

In my inbox the other day was a memo, dated 27 February.  The subject was:  Travel and Transportation for Non-covered Reproductive Health Care.

"Non-covered Reproductive Health Care".  Uh huh,

2. Purpose. To announce JTR changes that allow travel and transportation for

non-covered reproductive health care. See the enclosure for definitions of terms used in

DoD's guidance.

It's a five page memo that outlines how the Joint Travel Regulation is now going to allow the DoD to pay for soldiers to travel out of their state and into another state so they can have an abortion.  

a. Non-Covered Abortion. Travel and transportation allowances for Soldiers

(defined as Active Duty Soldiers, Reserve Component Soldiers on active duty orders for

more than 30 consecutive days, and Academy Cadets) and dependents of such

Soldiers receiving care may be authorized when a licensed medical provider has

validated the pregnancy and substantiating documentation is provided.

Can someone tell me how the fuck this is NOT considered using federal funds to help people have an abortion?  Anyone?

When the SCOTUS overtured Roe v. Wade, the walking piece of shit Lloyd "I fuck over Soldiers for breakfast" Austin made mention that he was going to make sure that all those females in the Army could murder their baby unhindered by any local laws.  And lo and behold, here is that fuckstain's response to said overturning.  Lloyd "Accountability?  Never heard of it." Austin can't be fucking bothered to make sure the troops are trained up to fight Russia and/or China, but by golly he can sure put a plan in place to kill some babies out of state!  He can't bother to hold people accountable for the debacle in Afghanistan, but if you get knocked up and your post is in a state that limits abortion?  Oh, he's there for ya!  The DoD will cover lodging, meals, per diem and travel so you can kill your baby!

The demonic ghouls currently running our Department of Defense are some of the most pathetic pieces of shit I have ever seen.  Moral is at historic lows, the DoD is attacking the troops as "extremists", recruiting is cratering, politics are running rampant in the higher echelons, so naturally they want to push abortion even harder.  A shooting war with a peer or near peer?  Not their concern.  

Lloyd "Blue Falcon" Austin is a fucking disgrace to the military service.  Both he and that woke fuckstain Milley need to be in the Ft. Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks for the rest of their natural lives.  And that's at the very least.  For Lloyd "Darth Stupid" Austin, who pushed the jabs on military members, I would prefer a public execution for the damage he's done to the force.  Hanging, beheading, fireing squad, anything so long as he's dead and the point is driven home that you do NOT injure your troops for political gain.

The damage being done to the Army won't be reversed any time soon.  

A thread on why nobody wants to join the military

 And all I can say is "pretty much, yeah".

The bottom line is that the people who join the military are, by and large, people who love this country and want to serve it in some form or fashion.  Oh sure, you've got the whole political spectrum in the ranks, but as a general rule, it's patriotic conservatives who sign up.

So do you really think they're rushing to sign up under a drooling Chinese hand puppet and Marxist shitstains in the Pentagon?

Do you think all their veteran family members are pushing them to join?

I know of one friend who's son is now in the Marines.  But far, far more of my acquaintances are telling their kids "Hey, why don't you hold off for a moment?"  We can all see the writing on the wall.

Just. Walk. Away.

 Refuse the jab and walk.

Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits, Army officials announced Friday. 

"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement. 

Just walk.  There's not one single senior leader in the Army who is worth sticking around for, and there's not a good future for the military because of the completely abhorrent military leadership.  These people would sell you down the river if Drooling Joe the Chinese Hand Puppet says to do so.  Just walk away.  You won't regret it.

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. 

VDH states the obvious

 There's something seriously wrong with the upper leadership of the military.

Something is terribly wrong in the ranks of America’s top commanders that reflects something wrong with the country.

The Pentagon needs to stop virtue-signaling about diversity days and culturally sensitive food for Afghan refugees. Instead, can it just explain why the Bagram air base was abandoned by night, or why Taliban terrorists are our supposed “partners” in organizing our surrender and escape?

Which general allowed more than $85 billion in American weapons to fall to the Taliban — a sum equal to the price of seven new U.S. aircraft carriers?

Who turned over to the Taliban the lists of Americans and allied Afghans to be evacuated?

My standard response to bad news is that no matter how bad that news is, it's probably worse than what we're actually being told.  And with this illegitimate government, it's most likely even worse than that.

Holy crap I need to retire

 Because this.

In testimony before the House Wednesday, Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked about the military’s new emphasis on politics and critical race theory.

Milley’s testimony is telling in many ways. He didn’t deny the military is pushing CRT and its ideas down the ranks. How could he, with so many whistleblowers calling his military out on it?

The nation’s top general leads in this segment by suggesting that he’s merely studying critical race theory and wokeness to understand them as a military leader should study ideas to understand their nature and whether they pose a threat or not. That would be fine, even commendable, if it was true. As Sun Tzu wrote, know your enemy.

But then Gen. Milley, America’s top soldier, gets within inches of trashing the United States Constitution, which he swore an oath to defend with his life.

And this.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw set up a whistleblower hotline allowing service members an opportunity to expose the woke crap being forced upon them by the Biden administration. There are two schools of thought. Some people believe the military should be focused on things that matter, like defending our country. Other people, the people who run Joe Biden, view the military as an institution and all institutions should be infested with their radical political agenda. The result is this story from an Air Force member.

Instead of learning how to fly, they're learning how to isolate each other by skin color.

This bullshit here is a direct result of the Obama administration, who essentially fired any flag officer that didn't buy their Marxist bullshit for eight years.  We now have military leadership that is infested with Marxist ideology.  I wish I had more hope for the US military than I do, but the facts is the facts.  I think the troops will be OK, because they're not around the Marxism 24/7.  But our ability to win wars?  Yeah.  Uh huh.  Do you really think Marxists care about how many wars American can win?

This will not end well.  At all.

The Democrats hate the military and want to destroy it

Just look at the crap they want to saddle our military with.

For example, multiple amendments appear to try to shift the Pentagon’s focus from defense of the nation to defense of the environment. One would ratchet up the renewable energy mandate for defense installations. Another would assign Space Force the task of monitoring climate change. There are more amendments along these lines. 

Other amendments would give the Pentagon less bang for the buck. Provisions that would require the military to consider diversity and LGBT involvement in its hiring and contracting decisions are unrelated to efficiency or effectiveness, as are small business preferences, buy America provisions, and other similar legislative mandates.

The Democrats have hated the military with a burning passion ever since Truman decided that he didn't really want to win the Korean War.  And then it was the Left spitting on troops returning from Viet Nam.  They were shamed into hiding during the War on Terror, but they're crawling back out of their swamps more and more.

Hamstringing the military with political, SJW bullshit would be the Democrat's dream.  Of course, it'll just mean that more troops die when we go to war, but the Democrats don't care.  As far as they're concerned, we're just a bunch of stupid hicks anyway, so the more of us that die, the less of us can vote against the Democrats.  It's a win-win for them.

Not a good look for the Coasties

But I'm not heckling them, because I'm pretty sure the Army has pulled this crap as well.

The nation’s highest military court has thrown out the 2012 rape conviction of a Coast Guard enlisted man because admirals and prosecutors packed the seven-member jury with five women, four of whom held jobs as advocates for victims of sexual assault.  

In a 5-0 ruling that could change how the military conducts sex abuse trials, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces unleashed caustic criticism of all involved.

Please keep in mind that during the Obama junta, as in all Marxist governments, competence and experience were not a real requirement to attain flag-officer rank.  The correct politics were what got you in.  Which leads us to...

 The opinion, delivered by Judge Margaret A. Ryan, said the four admirals who played a role in assembling the officer and enlisted jury pool produced an illegal “gender-based court stacking.” She suggested that the admirals’ role amounted to unlawful command influence, which military law analysts see as the enemy of fair trials for service members. 

The court ruling said the trial judge “failed to conduct even a rudimentary investigation” into defense attorneys’ complaints of an unfair jury.
It also said the Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals failed in its duty to protect against unlawful command influence as it “rationalized the error away as a benign effort to seek inclusiveness.”

My emphasis up there.  "Seek inclusiveness".  That's verbiage straight out of the SJW handbook right there.

One of the admirals involved in jury selection is Coast Guard Commandant Paul F. Zukunft. He was the last of four convening authorities of the rape trial. 

Adm. Zukunft told a hearing judge that he was unaware of jury stacking. The appeals court rejected his excuse.

My emphasis once again.  Paul F. Zukunft, the flaming twatwaffle who wants more trannies in the Coast Guard, helped stack a jury to convict a Sailor of a crime, based on evidence so flimsy and weak that even the original prosecutor wanted the charges thrown out.

The case against this Sailor was so pathetic that the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces has dismissed all charges with prejudice, meaning the Coast Guard cannot bring these charges up again.  In a just world, political officers like Paul F. Zukunft would be turning in their resignation immediately.  The military does not need political parasites like Paul F. Zukunft leading anything more than latrine duty. 

Let's hope that this political slimeball Paul F. Zukunft retires soon, or that Trump tells him to clear out his desk, so that we can get someone who actually cares about the military service in charge rather than a political leech who cares more about the approval of politicians than doing his job correctly.

US Air Force assaults retiree, refuses to let him speak

Because he dare utter the name "God".

The unit Commander needs to be cashiered and handed his walking papers.  The Garrison Commander needs to be cashiered and handed his walking papers.  Any commissioned officer who had any authority in this matter and allowed this travesty to happen needs to be cashiered and handed their walking papers.  The NCOs who drug Senior Master Sergeant Oscar Rodriguez out of the room need to be kicked out or retired immediately.

This is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, perpetrated by people who SWORE AN OATH to PROTECT AND DEFEND that Constitution!

Every person who had a hand in this absolute travesty and abortion of their oath needs to be removed from their position and sent packing.  Period.

Obama does his best to cripple the military yet again

I guess women in combat isn't enough, now it's "men who have cut their penises off in order to call themselves women" in combat.

Yep.  "Transgender" in the military.

I can't wait for the first tranny to cry that they can't get deployed because they won't get their hormone treatments.

Fuck.  This country is going straight down the shitter.

How many people died because of Bradley Manning?

No, that's not a false question:  Manning leaked hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks, documents that contained information about our actions in Afghanistan, including the people who worked with us.

You think the Taliban didn't scoop that information up? 

You think the Taliban didn't act on that information?

Do you really think the people who torture and murder innocent children in order to control their parents as a matter of strategy, didn't take that information and hunt down the people who spoke with or worked with with the US military?  

HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF BRADLEY MANNING?

So while the ProgNazis of the Left get their panties moist at the very sight of Manning, and wail about how he's innocent, just ask yourself that one question.  How many deaths is he responsible for, both Afghani deaths at the hands of the Taliban who used his leaked info, and American deaths caused because the people who used to give us intel on Taliban movements either would not or could not give us any more.  Chances are we'll never know the true death toll.  But don't bullshit yourself into thinking that toll doesn't exist.

If he spends the rest of his life at Ft. Leavenworth breaking big rocks into little rocks, that punishment will only be a a fraction of what he deserves.

2000

So while I was over at And Now It's All This, I was given a little wake-up call.

US military deaths passed the 2000 mark in June.

Stop and think about that.  We heard about American deaths every single day under President Bush.  But when the Marxist Messiah increases the death toll?  Nada.  Zip.  Zilch.  Zero.  The media doesn't want you to know about it.

LOOK AT THAT GRAPH.  Click to open it up in full size.  Look at the numbers starting in April 2009.  Up, up, up, up.  The average number of military personnel killed under the rules set by Obama as Commander in Chief have soared.  Not only did Obama surrender in Iraq, but his policies and rules have gotten more people killed faster than that evil warmonger Bush.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND IT'S MILITARY, GET OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE!

President Surrender

Just watched the news.  Obama says that we've had "direct talks" with the Taliban, and claimed that the Taliban has a place in Afghanistan.

WHAT A GUTLESS FUCKING PIECE OF SURRENDER MONKEY SHIT!!!!!!!

Obama the worthless god-damned communist just did what EVERY FUCKING DEMOCRAT DOES.  Surrender.  Retreat.  Withdraw.

All the blood spilled in Afghanistan could end up being for nothing, thanks to that worthless fucking piece of shit Obama.  I'm so furious right now I can barely speak.

CMBlake asks

Why would the Marines be disarmed during a Panetta speech?

Well, the simple answer for that is because Leon Panetta is a fucking political douche-nozzle, a political tool that Obama is using to systematically destroy the US Military, and a life-long anti-American fuckhead.

There you go.

Get Ready for a Hollow Force

Look, you knew when they made Leon Panetta SecDef that the military as a whole was going to get fucked over hard and left sticky.  And it was just announced.  A "leaner" military.  What a crock of shit.

That worthless fucking anti-American bastard who is currently infesting the Oval Office would get rid of the military entirely if he could, especially since the military is one of the most patriotic, America-loving institutions in this country, and Obama can't allow THAT now can he?

I can't even stand looking at that fucking commie bastard anymore.  I can't.  He's damaged this country beyond repair.  I hope he rots in hell for what he's done to what used to be the greatest country in the world.

Obama not worried about murdered Americans

only about Arabs at risk

Ed Morrissey notes:

...let’s take a look at Obama’s dodge on Libya. He came out swinging on the suggestion that the Libya mission was unconstitutional and poorly handled, saying:

Moammar Gaddafi, who prior to Osama bin Laden was responsible for more American deaths than just about anybody on the planet, was threatening to massacre his people. . . . As a consequence, a guy who was a state sponsor of terrorist operations against the United States of America is pinned down, and the noose is tightening around him.

Kessler points out that Obama himself didn’t seem to think this was a problem before March:

Yes, Gaddafi is a bad guy, but Obama conveniently ignores the fact that until the uprising, the administration was rushing to do business with him. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mutassim Gadhafi, in 2009, declaring, “I’m very much looking forward to building on this relationship.”

So in 2009, even though "Moammar Gaddafi, who prior to Osama bin Laden was responsible for more American deaths than just about anybody on the planet" Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with one of Gadhafi’s sons, Mutassim Gadhafi, in 2009, declaring,

“I’m very much looking forward to building on this relationship.”

But in 2011 when Gaddafi was "threatening to massacre his people" suddenly a war without Congressional approval was the only course of action and if you dare question that:

“Whose side are you on?” -- Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

Clearly… Obama is not worried about dead Americans, but rather only about Arabs at risk.

Oh for the love of.......

And here comes yet another social experiment on the military.  I hope that all you people who pushed for the repeal of DADT are happy.  The military has ceased to be a war-fighting organization.  It is now nothing more than a laboratory for all the people who want to see it destroyed.

The U.S. military is too white and too male at the top and needs to change recruiting and promotion policies and lift its ban on women in combat, an independent report for Congress said Monday.

Here we go, folks.  We're already sliding down that slippery slope.  The damage that is being done by Obama and his administration will never get fixed, because they'll make good and sure that it's permanent.  And women in combat?  How many women out there can carry 125 pounds of gear and weapons for 100 yards, much less two miles?  If we're going to allow women in combat, are we going to FINALLY get rid of the dual standard for physical fitness, where women only have to do half the repetitions to get twice the score?

Oh, I can't say that can I?  That's SEXIST!

And I'm still waiting for ANYONE to explain to me why I will get arrested if I strip off and jump into the women's latrine, but it's OK for a man who is sexually attracted to men to shower with me and share a room with me.  And you know what?  I'm going to keep waiting on that, because there's NO ONE out there who can rationalize that.

Frankfurt

Two dead airmen, others wounded, by another member of the "Religion of Peace".

The Chaplain who I was with in Afghanistan had been to Bosnia and Kosovo, and claimed that the US picked the wrong side there.  He made no bones that what we allowed to happen in that country would come back to bite us in the ass, because the Muslims hated us anyways and the non-muslim population would never forget that we hung them out to dry.

Well, here's the first part of his statement in all too real flesh and blood.

Iraqi Vet, Idaho Native, heckled at Columbia University

I saw this yesterday, but I'm really, REALLY trying to at least be nice on Sundays, so I left it alone.  Didn't touch it.  Because I didn't want to lose my cool and call the anti-American, cock-biting trust-fund red diaper doper babies what they were.

Behavior like that of Columbia’s anti-military crowd toward Mascheck is rude, crass, childish, and demonstrates a cosseted ignorance that they, for some reason, seem eager to display.  It speaks to the fact that differing opinions are not welcome.  And civil debate?  Why bother with that when you can bravely stand up and call a wounded warrior a “racist” for simply expressing himself in an open forum? 

This sort of bratty behavior toward a man who literally bled on their behalf only demonstrates for all the the emptiness of words like “tolerance”, “civility”, “acceptance” and “equality” for the Columbia anti-war students who jeered and laughed at this man. They should be mortally ashamed of themselves.

In order to completely describe just how abhorrent the behavior of Columbia University is we'd have to invent another thesaurus.  And yes, it's the ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSITY, teachers, administrators, and students who display this behavior.  I say pull every last bit of federal funding away from the Columbia University Hate-Mongers and let them sink.  The only people who would shed a tear would be the afore-mentioned red diaper doper babies.

And people wonder why I don't want to go back to school?  What the fuck could they teach me?  How to hate America 101?  Destroying the country that raised you?  Yay.
