#1 Of course, if ANYONE had no previous experience with our military, other than commie think tanks, community organizing, and protests with Ayers and Dorne

#2 The left has never seemed to have much respect for our military--the left's biggest obstacle and headache. There's something about that oath to the Constitution to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that keeps people from getting too ambitious about power grabs. Another reason to be grateful for our military.

#3 Chiarelli's a nice guy. All the Army 4-stars are nice guys. That's how they get to the E-ring. But I'd like to see her pull that stunt with Mattis.

#4 I've actually been trying to avoid this topic.

But I had a thought in the midst of my non-sleep last night.

Let's pretend the general in question _really was a waiter_.

Does that change Ms. Jarrett's behavior away from being impolite?

I mean, I'm unsure you're even supposed to be treating _waitstaff_ like that.

#5 Anyone would have immediately and deeply apologize to the General for the mistake as soon as they realized it.

#7 I'da pulled the Ye Olde Fake Trip and dumped it right in her lap. "Oh! I am soooo sorry...bitch!"
I'd be a lousy four star general.

About that oath. When do you think they might actually step and carry it out? Seems to me, since Congress won't do their job it's time for the Military to step in. There is certainly enough justification.

#9 I don't know anything about the General but he is a Gentleman and she did apoligise. That's enough for me.

#10 All the Army 4-stars are nice guys.

#11 She apologized and will come to the house for dinner if a date can be worked out in March

Wine summit!
