First, and most importantly -- thank you for your service, and thank your children for theirs, to defending our country.
Second, I have a son who is an Army captain, and can't wait to get out in another year or two. He got his undergrad degree in mid 2010s THEN decided he wanted to go into the Army. I work in the defense sector...so I saw first hand the damage that Black Jesus did by eviscerating the upper echelon of accomplished military officers who actually cared for leading and training our armed forces, and replacing them with DEI&A obsessed smoothbrains, and I knew that would trickle down (or be forced down) into the ranks pretty quickly. And it was.
I knew all of this would eventually disappoint my son in his Army career, and it most certainly did...of course, I can't bring any of it up because it comes out as "I told you so" but I don't mean it that way.
