Just saw the address to our military . Father and his brother were WW2 combat veterans. I was lucky in that during Nam I was sent to Germany . What I heard today is so incredibly insulting to everyone who has ever served. We need smart capable men and women, not clowns who view serving in the military as a John Wayne movie. We need the very best to support those in combat roles with the highest standards.
They are destroying pride and honor and replacing them with fear and intimidation. We are seeing kakistocracy on steroids.
Dwight Eisenhower is spinning.
