Last year the U.S. military fled Afghanistan. We suffered a catastrophic defeat. After decades of fighting, thousands of dead, and billions of dollars in expenditures we were defeated by an Islamic insurgency armed with cast-off weapons and equipment. All of the vaunted efforts to build a self-sufficient Afghan Army proved fruitless. All of our predictions regarding the staying power of the Afghan government proved wildly inaccurate.
Absurd morons. I hate to sound like I have an issue with race (which I don't) but Austin, a black man, has been promoted to this high office and yet he will be remembered for gender neutral pronouns. Not a thing to be proud of. Colin Powell also was a huge disappointment, stabbing in the back those who promoted him to align with Oblamo simply because he's a black man. Really makes you wonder who really is the racist.
i remember when the US military was piloting transgender acceptance programs. the unit commander, himself an elite grunt, viewed the new requirement to treat transgenders as their "identified" gender with a sneer and openly gave thanks that (at the time) the US military still made it exceptionally difficult to misidentify one's gender without automatically being labeled anything other than psychologically unfit for service (e.g. bradley manning) or a malingerer.
it was clear a couple of years later that we were witnessing a form of loyalty test for our officers and senior NCOs. but at the same time, the new form of "egalitarianism" based loyalty assessments were a reflection of the views and values the broader youth culture, mostly outside of the US military which was still primarily conservative in political orientation, had been brainwashed to blindly accept.
Send the its to fight first. That will eliminate part of the problem.
