being paper tigers... and I'm not demeaning our service men and women. I AM demeaning their CO's from on high. You have to have intelligent, understanding, capable people in places on high who understand things like history, tactics, logistics, etc. These things are not learned overnight. For the best results, they take a lifetime of study and experience. And this administration stripped everyone who came close to these skills from their ranks. We've got the dregs leading OUR military members. A good many of service members were also ousted on bogus or trumped up reasons... religion, gender, DEI, or "not the cult of the day" as I call it. Some were not willing to break their oaths to the Constitution and sign an oath to trump, in essence. To these men and women, I salute them. Bush Jr had already done a number on our ranks, but stripping the number of morality waivers to where it almost didn't matter anymore what you'd been arrested and/or convicted of. If you could shoot a gun and had no moral compulsion against killing, they'd grant you a waiver at one point. That was at the same point where pallets of money were disappearing in and out of country. I'm a vietnam era veteran, and I've been heartsick ever sick Bush had to work out his daddy-issues the way he did. I'm sure the people of Russia feel the same way about their soldier sons/daughters, too.
