i know i am gonna get shit about this being vague, but i have a family member

at the pentagon, or at least he was. until friday, when a rotc to retired at the top, to a job at the pentagon threw in the towel.
he said he had a conflict w john rood, and was done.

he is scrupulously tight lipped, and would prolly not be happy to see this post.
the cavers will likely be on this. so, i wont identify him.

but i'm posting this to say that the military is done, done, done w these clowns.
if they lost this dude, they are cooked. cooked i tell you.

expound on what you mean? I certainly do not want them in harm's way for giving us further information. My reason is I have been worrying about what the OP said.

My reading comprehension has always been poor. Who is cooked? the clowns or the military ( please be the clowns)

that we are in a state where we have to worry about what the military will or will not do is not a good place to have to live.
