| General (Retired) Vincent Brooks 'Dismay and Disappointment‐A Breach of Sacred Trust' |
| 2020-06-09 |
| Short, revealing Excerpt: [Harvard Kennedy Center] On my journey, there have been many episodes, painful to remember. In my youth as a military child, in my time at West Point, and in my military career, even during my time as an Army general, I was personally impacted by explicit and implicit bias, as was my father, as were my grandfathers and their fathers. And I observed injustices perpetrated against others, as so many are now witnessing, again, reminding me of the continuing work of becoming "a more perfect union." This part of American culture, this inherent bias, must go away for good. Disappointment, because a sacred trust has been breached. |

| #9 ^It's sounds like another affirmative action beneficiary, promoted orders of magnitude beyond his (or hers) competence, who feels a victim of discrimination. |

| #8 As an African American man, the feelings of inadequate and unfulfilled justice that I have felt for too many years of my life come again to the fore. Experienced bias in his career? And yet, somehow he got an appointment to West Point and rose to become a 4-star general. Quite a few times in our history, our military has intervened in domestic situations, e.g. L.A. riots, and school integration in the South. The ultimate intervention occurred in the Civil War by Federal troops into the South. Comes off sounding like just another "cloaked" attempt to get Trump. |

| #7 The mere mention of his name among senior leaders was a 'WOKE virtue signal' long before the current WOKE mantra. It was the.... 'I too speak a little jive' card flip. |

| #6 Well, General Hooker had prostitutes named after him. Brooks may be going for something similar. |

| #4 There are still seats available to flag officers in the club car. Simply show your Globalist-ticket or Never-Trump pass. Hurry lads, the train is leaving in less than 5 short months. |

| #3 It's the Christian concept of original sin repackaged. Except there is no repentance and no forgiveness. The sinners are to be purged and replaced. It's a Maoist power grab. |

| #2 Assignment for students. Write a short assay (2 - 2.5 pages) wherein the esteemed general justifies the use of USA military in USA by a democratic president. |

| #1 "Many painful episodes" Believable, unless of course you might have happened to serve with Vince Brooks, the most perfumed prince of perfumed princes. The virtual epitome of the 'made man.' |
