There IS a lot of that, too. Put simply, the Air Force generally knows how to treat their people. Army and Marine Corps will use you up and throw you away when you’re broken.
There’s a reason the Air Force has a higher percentage of retirees than any other branch.
Most enlisted would take the turn into an officer if the option was given. It’s just a better life. Less running you into the ground and SIGNIFICANTLY better pay. A brand new just commissioned 2nd Lieutenant makes as much as an E-6 with several years in.
Lower enlisted qualify for food stamps up until E-5. I did 16 years in. I can tell you that officers are on a whole different plane of existence in comparison.
He’s said before that he’s not gonna run again. This seems like him taking a payout before he leaves.
Adam Baldwin isn’t one of the Baldwin brothers. He just has the same last name.
Trouble is, siding with all these former Dems is gonna turn this MAGA party into a disillusioned Democrat party.
I’d rather be somewhere between Libertarian and Republican than Libertarian and Democrat.
Odds are Tulsi Gabbard is one of them, I think.
I don’t know if this is a good thing.
There’s not a single real thing about her or her campaign.
Going off of his dad and uncle, statistically, he’s probably safer without their “protection”.
This close to the election? Getting close enough to stab Trump in the back again and take a nice, hefty pay day.
Ew.
But at the same time, yeah.
Absolutely blame the military leaders.
The good ones were purged by 0bama and replaced with wokie yesmen. I watched it happen. Felt it.
On one hand, I will be happy for it because it means the country can band together and push out the corruption.
On the other, I’m dreading it. The DS won’t give up easily and they’ve flooded the border with soldiers. I’ve been to combat. It’s ugly. I don’t want it for any of my fellow Americans.
Why?
We can’t just leave that shithole section of the planet alone?
We need literally nothing from them. Let them kill each other.
They'll count it anyways, depending on who the ballot is for. They keep blatantly cheating and defying the election rules. The response is always "Oh well, the election is over and the winners have been announced. We'll have to handle it next time."
Good.
Still waiting til Kamaltoe is their OFFICIAL nominee. Then the games can begin.
Not ruling out Big Mike, Killary, or Buttgiggity yet.
I love this guy. Even Rand Paul doesn’t seem as pro-America libertarian as he is.
The only problem with these guys is they sometimes take a hard stance on small issues that could benefit us in the bigger picture. The honesty is refreshing, though.
Prayer is an offense. Okay, suuure.
Bet they will immediately begin shutting down loudspeakers blaring out that warbling Muslim call to prayer several times a day too.
Any minute now. Aaany minute…
Kinda surprised they’re doing this there, with a lot of pro-Palestine dems, but didn’t do it at the RNC very much, even with all the Israeli cock sucking going on.
Rs seem pretty divided on the Israel-Palestine thing and I’m glad the dems are too busy calling each other nazis to seize on that.
They don’t really make more Leftists by breeding and raising them, though.
They make more by corrupting normie kids through media and psychotic teachers.
Gotta go in extra hard, in case an IDEA shows up to attention whore at your Degenerate National Convention.
I read it. It’s a REALLY long article, and the first half was really cool. Luckey seems like an interesting, smart dude.
The second half of the article went into spreading the cheeks for Israel and Ukraine, and it lost me.
I hope this is wrong. I’m not okay with this.
Doesn’t matter when shit is blatantly illegal. On the off chance somebody gets held accountable, Soros judges will just say the complainant has no standing.
Really anything is possible, but I don’t think so. I think he is somebody who has seen the light and is tired of the Left’s bullshit. Which is better. Rather than it being some “vast right wing conspiracy” (thanks for that one, Hilldawg) the more people that are organically realizing what is good and what is bad for the country, the better.
Depends on the job and the branch. Army will promote PT studs that don’t know shit about their jobs, and the way to promotion, a lot of times has more to do with looking good in front of a board, saying the right thing, and having the proper race, gender, or sexual preference/identity than any idea of leadership in your given field.
