#1 Actually, this qualifies for a DoA or DoD Inspector General visit. BTW, IIRC we still don't have a Trump appointed Secty of the Army.

#4 The Socialist would destroy and ruin from the inside what they could never defeat from the outside. Hard read that letter, names many names and many detailed incidents.

#5 "They've been at war so long they've forgotten how to be soldiers."

Damn and double damn, just what on earth is a soldier anyway but someone who goes to war?

#6 what on earth is a soldier anyway but someone who goes to war?

Ask various bunches of warriors what happened when they met soldiers - use a medium.

#7 And after all of the crap I went through to get SF qualified, including HALO qualification, and they are letting candidates skate on basic mission essential physical fitness performance.

Please tell me the SEALS aren't doing this.

Kinda makes me wonder about all of those SF casualties we've been taking...maybe part of the problem is they are not properly trained and qualified for what they were doing???

#11 Grosgrain, I think you need to use a medium to contact the soldiers who met warriors, not the other way around.
