No, I do not want to get dragged down into discussions of the Ukraine Conflict.

Providing you constructive feedback on your general approach does not require a shrink license.

My grandmother was fond of saying you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. And she only graduated from elementary school.

I can be very firm without being antagonistic. I am confident most on this forum can see the difference. I can get into a bare knuckles brawl, but I will not. I am classier than that.

One needn’t be pro-Russian or pro-Hamas to wonder how much the two simultaneous conflicts will stress the DOD.



and with the services not meeting their recruiting goals, how much longer we can play world’s policeman.

Explain me this, Gen. Austin, sir, why is the endless tide of unwavering support always flowing out from this end? Southern border states are wide open to 10’s of thousands refugee crossings unchecked on a monthly basis. Blowing into towns already waist deep in a homeless nightmare. At what point doesn’t that get ignored? Is no one in charge at the WH? Is anyone there? Anyone?



Odd thing the anti-war voice now in contrast to a time when protest messaging came from counterculture sources. Hang around long enough, irony mocks you at every turn.

No kidding. But in fact it’s a legitimate question. Resources to Ukraine, Kosovo, Israel, with Taiwan waiting in the wings in an era where damn few seem willing to join up to the military. When does ‘doing more with less’ become counterproductive, let alone when you make things worse by denigrating the very demographic that historically has provided a plurality of your recruits and burning DOD resources on political correctness.

Not to mention overall divisiveness and name calling.

Well I thought it would be proper to end this thread, but on second thought it’s a nice safe place for “all you all” to act goofy and vent. So I’ll keep the thread going. Thank you.
