#1 And again, we keep pretending that those commanding military installations should be completely open, rather than proven warriors.

Let's just keep checking "diversity" boxes, sooner or later at least a handful will prove to be worth it...even if most of them aren't actually worthy of running a fast food restaurant.

But hey! We can still be trendy!

#2 How *stupid* have we allowed this nation to become?

She somehow rose to the rank of Colonel. Was *anyone* even serious with these promotions?

Yet she somehow didn't grasp that she reported to the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, and thus didn't get to hold command of a base IF she decided to make a stand against the same Federal Government that employed her?

She's too stupid to have an "escape plan". She did this because she thought she could. How does this happen in the year 2025? Has our military chain of command been just completely asleep, or totally corrupted?

A thousand heads should roll for ever promoting her, over and over again.

The Military works for the President.
Under the Constitution, the President, in addition to being Chief Executive, is Commander in Chief of the Military.
The President holds the prime responsibility for the conduct of the United States and its foreign relations.
As long as the orders and assignments are legal and ethical, let the politicians handle Politics and Military
follow its orders and assignments.

#6 "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,"

I do not presume to know anything about cars, but I know blue cars are not as fast as red cars.

#7 Dumb as a bag of hammers. Commanding a 'large' unit and multinational as well means the next step was a star and a posting to a posting to some warmer 'Joint command'.
