I cannot imagine that the military will be able to overlook so easily his actions of the last few days. Even if they believe his explanation for not attending the 100th anniversary of the ending of WWI, they cannot explain away his refusal to attend the ceremony on Veterans Day at the memorial in Arlington?
All this was after he sent troops to our border on a sham mission to confront a caravan that was ready to "invade" America. Those that will be away from their families during the holidays may not be so forgiving this time around?
Perhaps the military can forgive and forget?
But, I doubt it.
SNAFU is a military expression for situation normal - all fucked up. That's what it looks like to the military.

(23,091 posts)Are they reflexive repugs, always watch Faux Snooze, then they have heard little about this and all they heard was it wasn't his fault. If it's someone who pays attention to multiple sources, they will get angry and desert him, like our friend who was an LT did.
