Well thank you Jacuzzme for that admission.
Milleys still a bad ass, he's just an old bad ass!
The private sector dosent realize the importance of or the significance of those awards.
For example the CIB I assume you know that the CIB " combat infantrymens badge" it sits atop of all of those other awards is considered to be the most important one by all soldiers!
For the uninitiated that is the rifle with the blue background and a wreath with the star, that signifies him himself, actually going into combat to meet the enemy twice!
That is signified by the star in the wreath!
It means he was on the ground, with weapon in hand!
Personally!
You bleed for those things, it's not the private sector!
To say you know a Marine burgled your house because your dog is pregnant, that's funny!
Even to the Marines!
But to imply he gonna lead whatever the fuck you said, that's not funny.
And coming from someone that didn't serve, and probably never even considered it, well you really have no right!
I reasonably sure the Marines would agree too!
Alot of soldiers that are more modest that have won silver stars DSC's and yes MOH's, will often not wear them and sometimes depending on the circumstances have to be ordered to wear them by their superiors.
But not the CIB, they wear that every time!
To disparage his military accomplishment, well let's consider that to be so much childish bullshit!
Milley did not decide the outcome of that election, and the loser doesn't get to decide the outcome either by lying about it or starting an insurrection!
And I now stand corrected as to when Trump started lying about the outcome of the election, it was not August as I had previously mentioned but in fucking June! 5 months before the election!
And as far as what happened on 1/6 goes it is absolutely his job to stop the type of shit what happened on 1/6!
He should have shot the orange menace.
As far as I know he remained Apolitical until his presence at Lafayette Square!
That was Trump playing games with the military.
That Milley was wrong for being there and said so himself!
But as for going full retard, if it makes you uncomfortable to talk about the history of the United States, too bad its time. I saw Milleys response to Gatezs having the balls to go after him on this subject!
It was appropriate, I had no problem with it.
What I do have a problem with is reparations.
There are neither any slaves or slave holders left alive today!
The last surviving Civil War solider died in 1956!
I don't want to hear that noise and that is something else the lefties would like to see.
Now I realise that I was ripped off as far as history I was taught in school, or at least as much as I got up until 9th grade went. I knew about the wars, but not their causes.
And if that was taught at all it was always the bullet point approach! I have said this before, Lincolns let'em up easy policy, is the reason whe have what we have today! It was the be breeding ground for the Clan and other white supremacists groups! MAGA!
From Bobby Lee, on down depending on what they did further the rebellion there should have been hangings and firing squads!
Don't like that too bad, it was a rebellion, those men knew the possible outcome before the first shot was fired, as did the founding fathers of this country, if you recall they were also involved in a rebellion!
After his defeat, General Lee said make no monuments to the rebellion or word to that effect.
He was right, he should have been shot or hung to emphasis that point!
And believe me I don't hate Lee, he was a master on the battlefield, but he did what he did!

The problem is, in today’s military, the higher up the officer ranks you go the more political you become, And you can’t get higher than where he’s at. For all intents and purposes he’s no longer a soldier but a politician.
