I can no longer be proud that I served this country

[maxrandb]

If you know me, you know that I served 30 years in the United States Navy. I served under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II and Obama. One of the things I was most proud of is that my retirement certificate was signed by President Obama.

I'm distressed by today's senior military leadership. I know it's hard, but I used to believe that honor, courage, integrity and commitment were worth more than ones career.

I would like to believe that I would NOT serve under this orange asspickle. Don't know what I would do if I were so close to retirement, but I'd like to think I'd quit before I'd serve under this amphibian turd. I guarantee you that if I already had my 20 years in, I'd be gone.

Some things aren't worth selling your soul for.

So far, those that have left the service under this POS have remained mostly silent. They've sold their souls. If you see folks like Mattis and Kelly circulating on the speaker tour, don't bother.

It's hard to listen to folks like Mattis and Kelly talk about honor.

Their calls for integrity and honor are kinda muffled with their heads so far up Donnie Shit for Brains enormous "looks like 50 lbs of chewed bubblegum" ass.

They wouldn't know integrity if it bit them on the ass.

I learned honor, courage and commitment from the example of the leaders around me. It was drilled into me that there were going to be times when I was expected to choose the hard path and stand up to leadership when it is difficult.

We're sending a different message to today's young NCOs and Junior Officers.

What are todays young Sailors learning from the examples of Mattis, Kelly and Donnie Short Fingers.

I think this is an example exclusive of the Navy:. We have 18 and 19 year old kids that earn qualifications as Plane Captains in Naval Aviation. These young kids can shut down flight operations on a $6 billion Aircraft Carrier if something isn't right. There's not a Flag Officer, Carrier CO, Airwing Commodore our Squadron CO that would dare interfere. When that happens, we go to All-Stop until we figure out what's wrong. There is never any retribution to the Plane Captain.

Our country is just about at the All-Stop point.

Please don't thank me for my service. It's not something that I'm proud of anymore.

God help us when this current crop of young military leaders advance up the chain.

I guess it's true. Everything Donnie Dollhands touches dies.

Maybe it will be enough if he gets his ass beat this November, but I don't think so.

Something will have to be done to hold those who have remained silent to account.

We're in for some heavy seas ahead.

1. Please don't dispair over having served under all those

"modern" administrations; obviously, you had your role and did it to the best of your ability and values now made murky by the corruption that's invaded the minds and behaviors of leadership, at home or on the high seas; indeed, in the souls of what amounts to leadership with no other goals but acquiring power and wealth. Don't accept the responsibilities of the lies we've all heard along the flight paths to victory when, perhaps, that wasn't always the truthful objective of the leaderships' mission--the fact is, you survived it and can now call it out. Secret undeserved shame over unswerving participation in those lies just isn't appropriate; we all share a bit of it, but we can do better, have stronger backbones, teach the tough lessons of life, and better protect what is precious to our own souls. What now in this moment is our mission? Make good choices!

I'm still counting on the record of your service in confidence of your oath!
