Five minutes of hate news

Doesn't matter if it's because you "let them" or not, hell, even if the military hadn't let them live it's orthogonal to the point.

Aren't you enlisted?

Yes.
I still work at a Corp level.
There is enlisted in every aspect of the Army.

Also, from what I have seen at my current position, milley seems to be playing politics in the sense he is appeasong the left with words but not actions
 
This general that you're defending thinks you're a Nazi, to be killed like in WW2.
Except he doesn't.
You all have horrible context reading skills.
He is saying those groups are.

Or He doesn't really mean it.
Because remember, he knows majority combat arms are conservative Trump Voters. Some of his best officers, Trump voters.

Doesn't matter, Zach will keep defending the military, brass, and IC, with only the 'bad apples' getting any critique, and he will never acknowledge the systemic level of rot has reached in the armed forces.

And perfect example 'Oh it was just out of context, or he didn't really mean it' excuse for why his superiors probably view him as a potential enemy, not an asset.

Because bacle, I know how the military works and ways we find to get what we need for various things.
If Milley didn't do all this stuff, do you think he would stay chairman? Do you think we would get the focus on fighting China and Russia?

If Milley's the only thing keeping the military focused on those threats, and is just saying this stuff to retain his position, that says that most of his underlings are more focused on the 'domestic extremism' bit that they've been harping on.

Which doesn't make the military seem any better.

You keep acting like deflecting and going 'well, whatabout' in your excuses for why the military and brass are doing the 'right thing' on any given criticism of the military.

I mean half the time I wonder if your real job isn't to be a shill and propagandist for the military.

Bacle, I am in one of the few enlisted branches that take a look at more then a small area.

He isn't the only one, but he is leading the charge in focusing on our adversaries. To know what can destroy your force and learn FROM it is a valuable skill
 
The adversaries of the DC government are not the adversaries of the American nation. They are not the friends of the American nation either, of course, but they are not our principle adversaries.
The adversaries we are preparing for, one of them will gladly kill all of us non commies.

... You really think Xi gives two shits about the ideology of foreigners or foreign nations except insofar as that means pro or anti-China and pr? Mao would have, sure. Mao's dead.

Oh, if they could, I'm sure the Chinese would kill us all if they could - not that they'd care about the distinction between commies and anti-communists, but hey, the American nation holds land and resources. But pressing X to doubt a nation that's last real wars outside of their own territory were hundreds of years ago would be putting boots on the ground across the Pacific if it wasn't for our military of brave diversity hires who keep crashing their ships into each other.

But Xi isn't the guy keeping a table of the decline of the American nation on his wall...

The military wants to focus on what DIVIDES US TO MAKE SURE IT DOESNT DO THAT.
 
Hmmm, so you're saying that learning to spout the left's bullshit and politically correct slogans is an important part of advancement in the army?
Would you rather someone in charge actually do it instead of pay lip service?
 
You do know we beat them so hard at the start they only survived because we let them right?
They were defeated because they fought conventionally.

After the 2014 Mosul blitzkrieg, ISIS got cocky and decided they could challenge us conventionally. And honestly, they had every right to think that way.

You guys took 10 years to train up a new Iraqi army and it crumpled in less than a week against a tiny enemy force. Fall of Mosul - Wikipedia

And the Trump went and bombed them into a pulp. ISIS is still around, but they've gone back to being a insurgent force.

Same thing in Afghanistan. Taliban initially went conventional then got beaten, so they went back to their old game of insurgency.

Once they went back to insurgency, rooting them out became near impossible with the stupid ROE enforced on our forces.

And then the casualties started piling up.

You didn't let them survive. They survived by switching back to their old game of insurgency, dispersing their forces, planting IEDs, conducting ambushes.
