Highly decorated, amazingly so. Only way to get so much 'chest salad' is to jump on an operation long enough to get the ribbon and maybe an 'attaboy' medal. I looked at his bio. Super cozy with Bibi and the Israeli military. Likely eying a corporate job upon retiring. Of course he's going to waffle and not expose Hegseth and Trump. Noy knowing his religious views I can surmise they align with Hegseth's, or he wouldn't have the job.

And this is the head of CENTCOM. He dosent' have the fortitude to even be a recruit, let alone a Commander. He's so afraid to answer questions without committing perjury that he just says the same Ole thing they all say " we will follow the laws" only thing is , that is a lie, he did commit perjury. Their lawyers that prepped them are shit.

And so has noeme, patel and the war guy.

Cooper looks and sounds like an alcoholic.

Cooper's speech is so slurred, and his sentence structure is so convoluted that I'm pretty sure he's tipsy during the hearing and perhaps permanently brain-damaged from alcohol abuse.

My sobriety date is April 30, 2009. I found the right sponsor at my second meeting and she was the best, told me what to do.
