#2 "We have a significant amount of omissions," admitted Gen. Mark Milley, the Army chief of staff. "There are gaps and failures on our part." Milley was the first service chief outside the Air Force to publicly admit to widespread lapses in sharing data on violent service members.

TRANSLATION: It's bad. Really, really bad.

#3 The MPs(cops) pointing at the JAG(lawyers) pointing at the AG(personnel) in a circular firing squad formation, "It's his job".

#4 Circular firing squads are particularly amusing when they all pull the trigger simultaneously.

#5 Serves a purpose though. If your goal is to pass ever more restrictive legislation to limit citizens' access to guns you want more incidents like the Texas church shooting. And who better to perpetrate these crimes than whack jobs on psych meds who've had military training with automatic weapons?

#6 Or: your systems are strained to the breaking point after 16 years of constant deployments, ditto your soldiers.

Think I'm kidding? Take a look at how hard the Army is finding it to recruit new solders. At the massive shortage of Air Force pilots. At the number of vets killing themselves daily (22/day last I checked).

Our military is in serious trouble.

#8 I believe you, Knuckles. And that'll make it all the more difficult and dangerous if we were to get into a real war.

#10 What kills a Man after war? A man no longer in the war with the Brotherhood that is now missing in America.
