   How could this clown possibly have been a general?

     I imagine it’s a bit like the Police force, Phil…once above a certain level, it’s all political and promotion depends on recycling PC pieties.

       They are bureaucrats and just like bureaucrats they can’t be fired for incompetence and they are too self important to quit.So how does one get rid of them from off the local post to keep them from causing too much trouble? Promotion to a higher rank of course,how else does an idiot rise to the top?

       “men and women who aren’t male” WTF????? What are they Broccoli?

   General… good grief alright.
   Russia and China must think the west has gone mad, surely it is only a matter of time before they test us. Doubt we will see many ‘Generals’ on the front lines or women and lgbt’s for that matter.

   If another Pacific War starts with China in the role of Japan moving against our SEATO allies, America is treaty bound to go to war with our largest trading partner and we will.

   Yes, America will show up the Pacific once again – and very likely get the shit kicked out of our forces by the well trained, equipped and professional military of the CHICOMs – a repeat once again of WW II when the weak and politically correct military establishment of Leftist president FDR lost the battle of the Philippines in only a few months – after spending DECADES and millions of dollars building the best defensive system 1930s money could buy in the Pacific.

   Then what? Then always happens when a nation faces an existential crisis – the armchair warriors responsible for the fuck up will be quickly replaced by real warriors and the PC nonsense forgotten before dawn…

   It’s like Chief Crazy Horse said at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, “Warriors to the front. The cowards, the elderly and women/children to the rear. IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE.”

     Treaty?Treaty is a word that has no meaning with this bunch.We made a treaty with Ukraine that we would offer them protection and induction into NATO if they gave up their Nuclear stockpile which they did.Bush had everything in place to do just that,then Obama(who was on the negotiating team for the original agreement) took over and welched on the deal and now Russia is cremating the remains of Russian soldiers that are supposedly not there.

     Treaties mean nothing to this bunch,if China went on a tear tomorrow Japan and SK (and probably AU & NZ )would be on their own.

   Unless anyone knows Fredo, then I’m going out on a limb and unapproving his comments.

   Sun Tzu says…

   Now the general is the bulwark of the State; if the bulwark is complete at all points; the State will be strong; if the bulwark is defective, the State will be weak.

   By attempting to govern an army in the same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions which obtain in an army. This causes restlessness in the soldier’s minds.

       Funny how history has all the lessons we need to know about human nature, yet here we are in the 21st century, poised to learn again.. We have come so far and yet we are still ruled by stupid!

         Endless re-learning seems to be part of the human condition, Caleb.

           Years ago when I read Nietzsche’s theory that history was really a wheel where everything that happened once, happens over and over again endlessly, I thought him insane.

           Today I know better…

           Man may learn…but Mankind…NEVER!
