Hand salute for your uncle.

He's in good company. Eisenhower was up front about going to the Point - free college degree.

Perfect. Another for the keeper file. n/t

Wow. Threating every member of the armed forces.

I swear if there were one crap pile left in the space/continuum, Moron would find it and step in it.

This is the Army's headache. The installations of the other branches are either named after a city/town they're near or significant individuals in the history of the branch. No Confederate generals.

So, just to kiss up to a handful of white nationalist bigots, Moron is going to punish a couple of million people who had the bad luck to believe that the government would keep its side of the contract.

Also I'm betting that you asked nine out of ten service members why their patch is named the way it is, "Don't know, don't care."

A gentle and perfect knight

A knight is sworn to valor
His heart knows only virtue
His blade defends the helpless
His might upholds the weak
His word speaks only truth
His wrath undoes the wicked.

What's interesting about CMSAF Wright's speech is ...

he wouldn't have made it unless he had the approval of his superiors.

"It'll have more impact if it comes from you, Chief."

...

"First they came for ..."

So sorry you have to see this again, ma'am

Name a black combat unit.

It's our first and most important order.

When we don't take it very seriously, we were merely minimum wage mercs and unworthy Americans.

That picture says it all. n/t

That is a significant statement on the part of CMSAF Wright.

A little back info. He is one of the Senior Enlisted Advisors to the JCS. Each branch has one, including the Nat Guard. They are the ranking enlisted in their particular branch. They report directly to the JCS about all things enlisted and they are listened to. They are the bell weather. Further, they seldom go public -- unless Them What Be In Charge tell them "Got your back. Go for it."

Chief just went on record that Zoomers are not happy, especially the black ones.

"....Trump is losing the military."

He's just forced them to consider ...

"Is that an illegal order and what will I do if it's given?" That one no one wants to think about because if your superior(s) are total looney tunes, things get unpleasant.

Yes, some will go to "Kill 'em all; let God sort them out." I believe many more will ask themselves "Can I kill another American just because s/he stole a TV?" Some may be asking themselves that right now.
