Follow up and I'll quit bugging you.
There's a big distrust in this country about having military members controlling the military. Think about countries where this happens ie Libya, Pakistan, Myanmar. The secretaries in these positions are generally civilian or former military members that have been out of the service for at least seven years to help keep a balance of power. They can sign a waiver and get a general approved that's active duty. Mattis would be an example of that but it's pretty rare. Take a look at the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, or Secretary of the Air Force. They are often civilians filling these roles with no military background. Christine Wormuth, the current Sec of Army, has no background in the military. She does have two four star generals and the sgt major of the Army working for her to help guide policy. That's what my husband meant by the sec def is supposed to be a civilian job.

I don't really know. That's my husbands opinion. I'll ask if there's some kind of written law or anything. We were talking about this nomination specifically because I thought it was some kind of joke at first. He likes the idea. I think a lot of enlisted soldiers will like it. There are so many toxic leaders in the military right now. Colonels wanting that first star who will do whatever they're told to get it. Generals looking for million dollar positions when they retire. It needs to change.
I think the way the media portrays some of these positions is not exactly how they actually work. Take for example the Joint Chiefs. The media made it sound like Milley had so much authority to do this and that. He was in a completely advisory position with little to no authority at all.
I say give Pete a chance, if it doesn't work out, Trump will replace him.
My husband worked at the 5 sided building for a few years. His opinion is that the sec def is more of a spokesperson than anything for the military and pentagon. Yes, they have to make sure each department runs effectively and efficiently (they haven't for a long time) but they are there to be put in front of the press. Pete's background and his demeanor make him a great candidate. The position originally was supposed to go to a civilian. We really don't want someone who is a Colonel or above that has been active duty in the last 10 years filling that position right now if we want a change to weed out the corruption. If the q plan is real, I imagine the non tv generals will be helping from behind the scenes.
He's a major and still part of the Individual Ready Reserve.
She's cheap. They paid Bruce 7 million.
Cumberland, Effingham, Clark, Clay, and just about every county south of Champaign can be added to that list.
Seb Gorka just went scorched earth over Pompeo on the radio. He said "fatass can sit in a tub full of molasses for the next four years" . He has no business being in next administration.
I voted for him when I was in my early 20s. It's probably not a popular opinion, but I didn't think he was a bad governor. He's not a crazy, far left Dem. He definitely knows how the corrupt Chicago machine works so I think he could be useful.
Trump won, Hamedah won, Ciscomani is currently ahead but Lake is losing? Doesn't make sense.
Like she'd have to worry about getting an abortion.
No. She walked out on the stage with Melania, Barron, and Melania's father. JD Vance and his wife were on left side and didn't have room. She moved over so that they could be front and center.
She was on stage last night. Blonde lady in blue suit standing next to JD Vance. The press was pretty nasty to her. I'd want to take a step back from the craziness as well.
Not just for food, it's amazing for the skin as well.
I would assume thos NPA votes heavily favor Trump.
I don't know about absentee ballots but when I went to vote yesterday in Spring Lake NC, the polling ladies were talking about how they thought the entire 82nd airborne showed up to vote on Friday. They had to start multiple lines and registered so many service members to vote. Many were new voters. Hopefully that's a great thing. Husband doesn't know anyone he works with voting blue.
My daughter went to this shithole school when we were stationed at Ft Belvoir. It's really not surprising. The couple dozen ap/honors students meet grade level proficiency 100 percent. The rest of the school was at 20 percent. They could care less about kids actually learning.
I saw that ad yesterday. I live on Fort Liberty in the Fayetteville NC area.
The picture of Trump and the old man is literally Russell Picketts. All you have to do is go watch the normandy celebration. Trump specifically honors Picketts. The idea that's JFK is ridiculous.
Looks like Russell Pickett. He was assigned to A company 29th infantry. They were first wave of Omaha Beach. He said withing the first 30 to 45 minutes of battle, A company took 96 percent casualty. The boat he was on was hit and and he couldn't feel his legs. He recovered and was reinjured in Battle of Saint Lo. He recovered a second time and was injured a third time in Battle of Vire. The third injury sent him home. The Best Defense Foundation has several videos with Russell. Pretty sure that photograph is him.
The 5th circuit overseas Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. I'm not sure that ruling applies to all states. In Nevada and Arizona, it would be 9th circuit.
I struggled with endometriosis and a tilted uterus and was able to have 2 children (14 years apart). The biggest relief was going to get chiropractic care. They were not only able to help relieve pain with adjustments but help get vitamins and minerals in check. Prayers things work out.
I get it, fake videos should be called out and taken down. However, people living on the east coast should probably start paying attention to the weather just incase.
Marc Dutroux and his connection to Chateau des Armerois (Mothers of Darkness Castle) in Belgium. There's a bunch of crazy stories about that place.
