Why? Because the American military has shit generals, a shit CINC, and a shit DOJ.
When soldiers use the GI bill they have to take electives and listen to shit profs spout off.
Michael Walzer is one of those shit profs.
You are always told you can protest but never in uniform. Well this guy was not in uniform, but the shot generals, the shit DOJ and the shit president are still coming after him.

You need to look at who is being recruited to. Are they mentally fit forthe job? It is not the Boy or Girl Scouts being deployed, you know your being deployed to bad situationswhether a combat deployment, disaster esponse, etc. Used to be the military focused on tough training and preparing you for combat situations. Tougher the training the tougher the team.
I think they spend so much time on useless training like Transgeneder bathrooms, sex harassment, and its destroying the force. Kabul was a walk in the park compared to if we ever have to fight China, Russia, NK or Iran. They don't screw around.
Nailed it, especially the last paragraph.

God you're a fucking spastic idiot who has no comprehension of the grim reality that faces a soldier on active duty.
Bury your head in the sand somewhere and keep your moronic opinion to yourself.

Sexual harassment training is needed. It is held yearly. The part that is not necessary is when you hold the training and they tell you you need ever more training. The training ins needed irrespective of race or color. It is really needed due to Muslim immigration. It does not help to stress and keep stressing the training and then Congress and others act like dogs.

What grim reality? If they are not beyond the wire or in a small OP or COP, life is pretty good.
Not going to do it.
"grim reality"?!?!? You were a patch cord ranger REMF!
hey 2:44- 22 years on active duty you piece of SH*T. Go back to your libtard woke friends and suck their ***, about all your good for.
Duds like you don't deserve to live a free country defended by patriots who protect your woke ass.
Today's youth are just not up to it. We need to be able to recruit real war fighters, not wokey braindeads and to train them as killers, not social workers.
First of all RIP to all the suicide victims, for a lack of a better word
It's an important issue
To me it reflects what's wrong with our society. If you have that many soldiers and other people committing suicide, every year, maybe it's the system we are creating around us. A godless, joy less, work only, inhumane, no privacy, everything is controlled and regulated and safety checked and subjugated to cronycapitalism. And then on top unjust treatment under the law. And all these lies and divisions pushed on the population to keep us divided and asleep, so we don't realise that we're slowly being led to the slaughter house now that robots replace us.
The suicides are horrible.
But what's coming will be even worse and it's up to all of us to a) prevent these divides and b) ensure this great reset will not be put forward, otherwise all soldiers of all generations before us died in vein. All of them. Even those in other countries.
AJ,
Women have fought often through the ages. I will agree there are excesses as how liberals apply it.
In Nebraska during the 19th century, a Sioux war party came across a Pawnee village, when the Pawnee men were out buffalo hunting. The war party was beaten by old men, women and children.
There are other examples.
That's nice AJ. I love you too.
