And Corey has to sleep with Mullen now

Mea culpa

Sorry - I am confused. What measures exist right now to hold the Trump administration accountable? Note I say the Trump administration vice the USG...because he and Congress have made it clear that he is the government, and is unbound by trivialities like the Constitution.

Show me how we are not acting like a sovereign nation. The GoC has refused to be drawn into deciding on a key issue by a reporter posing a hypothetical in a foreign country? That sounds like the act of a sovereign country to me. You know. Making decisions one one's own terms in pursuit of...

Dude - it is guns...always.

And how would that best serve the nation's interests? What geopolitical objectives would saying no advance? Imagine if Trudeau would have said no fucking way, closing that door, and confining Canada's options in the coming months? Would you have supported that?

That part is indisputable. Phase 5 is hard, and I have the scars to prove it from deployments with the US (one NATO, the others not) in three theatres that struggled with planning and executing the what next part of operations. My time in the Pentagon also allowed me a close up view of the...

Do you have anything positive at all to say about the CAF, or in fact Canada? I suppose that leading the MNB in Latvia is a colossal waste of time / demonstration of Canada's complete uselessness? FOM operations in SE Asia? I can't remember if you are still serving, but if you are, it must...

Do you really think that the determining factor in the last election was "radical base NDP voters? Not the campaign run by CPC, or its policies? Or the unpopularity of its leader? Or events outside Canada? Are you sure you haven't become a closet Trudeau Liberal, given your embrace of...

Huh. You seem to be able to turn any topic into flagellation of Canada and Canadians for not being....America? That level of self-loathing is probably not good for ones health

Except of course that this is not even remotely a NATO Op. It is unilateral.

Except I fear that the noise actually IS the signal. The message is to drown the signal with noise.

Or it was Israel. If in North America and one hears the beat of hooves outside, it is way more likely to be horses than zebras....

You are absolutely right. The only bright spot in all of this is the extraordinary skill shown by CENTCOM leaders, planners, and assigned forces. The use of military power (indeed any of the four elements of National Power) must be tied to clearly defined policy objectives, as opposed to...

Don't forget the HR aspect of America's growth. Most of the original settlers were indentured servants. Then they upgraded to actual slaves. Which they replaced with waves of exploitable immigrants, most of whom were assimilated. Whose descendants built their wealth off of the backs of...
