[X] Entrust negotiations to your Foreign Minister [X] Firm

[X] Open Negotiations The French pride themselves on their diplomacy, they should engage with us if we make overtures, and there'll be plenty of time to fight them off later if negotiations break down, once we have some forces in place for it. Also, with the Black Steel still out there, it...

It should be pointed out that "intentionally" and "safely and reliably" are not synonymous though...

Directly? No. Not at all. GEN Milley is effectively the Chief of Staff for the SECDEF's Staff. He answers directly to the SECDEF, who answers to the President. HASC and SASC both had their chance at him when he was appointed, he's in there now until a President or SECDEF asks him to leave or he...

a) The SECDEF is a Presidential Appointee and serves at his pleasure, it doesn't follow that a SECDEF would go against the President's desires on a topic like this, and since he's not a Longtabber, I doubt he has much direct love at GEN Milley, if he thought there were any charges that would...

I agree with @Rocinante about it. Nothing will happen. Keep in mind that the requirement for a Court Martial is that the higher commander has to approve the formation. Since the next higher commander to the CJCS is the SECDEF, followed by the President, and the current President has indicated...

That sort of varies. On one hand, you don't have a choice of who your PCM is; they're assigned by the 'system.' However, if there's any kind of documentable mispractice (not malpractice, that's a different discussion) on the part of the doctor, you're fully within your rights to complain and...

Broadly speaking, cherry picking a quote from a public figure and writing a paragraph of interpretation around it can lead to whatever someone wants it to mean. Taking only the headline of the article, that statement is true. The military has no place in the checks and balances of the...

Because new billets require money. Money requires congressional approval from two different subcommittees, and changes to DOD policies have to be approved by the JCS, which is just about as bad as congress. Short of some kind of broad takeover of the entire government and a drawdown similar in...

Regarding the Officer Corps accession process, I was able to find this data from 1999 (pre-911/OEF/OIF) that indicates Capt. X is about right, but the paper doesn't address green-to-gold (or blue to gold, I'll duplicate AF terms through this for broad understanding), or prior service personnel...

So, I mean if you want me to dissert on it, you're overreaching what I said and extrapolating incorrectly. My personal views are that they (guns) should be exactly like cars.. buy and sell with no problems or restrictions, keep on your property as you like, but carrying them in a situation where...

I suppose it's a good thing they're not doing that. Unless you have some kind of actual proof that they are, outside of histrionic complaints from a secondhand source (waves vaguely at Florida) that don't present any of the actual course materials, just broad statements of "They're teaching CRT...
