Will be curious if this guy gets any punishment at all. Hunter Biden is still walking free. And General Mike Milley (the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military officer in the country) admitted to having a secret agreement with Chinese military leadership where he would inform them in advance in case Trump decided to take any military action against Chinese targets....because, you know, orange man bad. The Western world is now totally inverted, meaning that what all previous generations found repugnant like traitorism is often rewarded instead of brutally punished (as would be the case in any sane society). If this guy walks free, it will definitely be a signal that the US is going to burn like Sodom and Gomorrah, probably in our lifetimes, and its ashes will be pissed on by its enemies. Very sad days.
Even funnier: if this guy was caught selling secrets to Israel he'd probably be immediately released and then welcomed as a hero upon his return to the land of milk and honey.

A highly successful, long-term organizational diversity effort will give the Army an opportunity to become a national leader in diversity.

From the article:
They're just trying to get rid of Whites as fast as possible. That's all it is. They want to completely subjugate Whites, and that's easier if Whites aren't in the military.

From the article:
I'd never thought about left-handed weapons in the military before.
That may be their intent, but the actual effect could be to devastate Federal military to the point where Whites can easily rebel.
Schultz, eh?

That is brutal!
It reminds me of a story. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the US would send its spies to the USSR with forged documents. The US spared no expense to make their forged documents completely perfect, but their spies were being caught when their forged papers were recognized.
I forget how they finally found out what was going on. Maybe it came out after the fall of the FSU. Anyway, the Americans were using nice, shiny staples in the passport booklets, but the real Russian passports always had rusty staples
I read this a long time ago, so I don't know how true the story is, but I can believe such things happened.

Honestly, I do recall hearing a Russian joke, some years ago so I don't remember it exactly, about an american spy who asked the Russians "how did they knew he's an American" and the Russians responded something along the lines: "you dress like one of us, you speak Russian like one of us, you drink vodka like one of us, but none of us is black". I kid You not.
China could have the Baltimore ship channel fully cleared in weeks but yesterday
@POTUS
said yesterday for the Army Corps of Engineers it will take months
I blame the West Point Mafia and their budget demon. Please let me explain…
Truth is bridges are an Army Corps of Engineers responsibility but they are so unprepared they gave the job to Navy Salvage to lead. Navy salvage is so broken they had to outsource it to the US subsidiary/partner of a European firm which is chartering equipment from private companies at great expense. Equipment that’s weak & small compared to what the European parent has overseas.
And it’s the Army’s own fault. The West Point Mafia has systematically destroyed our nation’s maritime strength.
When I was 10 Vinzzini taught me the first lesson of war “You’ve fell victim to one of the classic blunders! Never get involved in a land war in Asia”
Yet in my adult life the United States fought not one but two wars in Asia.
How did we pay for those? By gutting our maritime capabilities.
With Chinese military capability growing exponentially, how do you win a war in Asia? The same way we did in WW2: with ships & marines with the Army and Air Force serving a support role
Except there is a problem, the current and last Secretaries of Defense are West Pointers. The SECDEF before that was a marine but he was forced out after a disagreement with the Secretary of State who was a West Pointer
Two decades of Land Wars in asia have decimated our Maritime capabilities as trillions was rerouted into Army coffers by the West Point mafia demon in DC
And now that the land wars are over is the Army Corps of Engineers helping rebuild shipyards and bridges? Is the Army rebuilding its once mighty fleet of dredges? Is it working jointly with the SeaBees and Merchant Marine? Is it rebuilding watercraft?
No today’s West Point mafia leader Jack Reed controls the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee & has blocked the Future of the Navy Commission That Congress created to develop a Naval rebuilding strategy
Now under General Lloyd Austin & Reed EVERY SINGLE navy shipbuilding project is delayed.
The West Point Mafia has gutted every Maritime service:
Navy National Guard (Naval Militia): now only a boat service in a small handful of states
United States Navy Armed Guard: gone
US Navy Reserve: zero ships in inventory
USCG Icebreaker fleet: down to one ship
US Navy salvage fleet: mostly gone
Seabees: cut to 7,000 active personnel
Merchant Marine: now less than 80 ships in international service
MARAD Ready Reserve Fleet: small & on average age a half century old
US Maritime Service: just a handful of officers at the US Merchant Marine academy
Marine Hospital Service; gone except the uniforms
NOAA Officer Corps: down to 330 officers
Army Corps of Engineers dredge fleet: includes ancient hulls like the 57-year-old dredge McFarland
Army Corps of Engineers salvage: the last SECDEF,
@EsperDoD
sold all Army salvage vessels in Baltimore
Army Watercraft: gutted by at action by Esper
USCG: forced to cut 10 cutters this year alone
I could go on but I have something more important to say:
NOW THEY ARE COMING FOR THE CARRIERS AND SUBMARINES
(I will post the details of the carrier and sub delays in post 2 of the thread)
If Jack Reed & the West Point Mafia wins the next war in Asia will be lost.
Problem is there is nobody to stop them because the think tanks, defense contractors and DoD civil servants know who wields the power and nobody in Navy or Coast Guard uniform has the moral courage to ruin their career by calling out Jack Reed & General Austin in the media or during a senate hearing.
P.S. why am I using quotes from the Princess Bride & making light of the problem by creating the West Point Mafia Demon meme? Because it doesn’t require a PhD to see what is happening.
The gutting of every critical maritime capability to pour money into Land Wars is something any 10 year can see is idiotic
^ There is no need for a large standing US Army unless you view our military as an imperial, expansionist power. After the late-1800s and the great expansion westward had concluded, the US Army should've wound down to a national defense and border patrol force.
What this nation needs is a strong, power navy, an equally-strong air force for logistics, C3, ISR, and power projection, a trim and highly-capable Marine Corps for rapid force deployment anywhere in the world as a temporary occupying force, and a robust Coast Guard for maritime border protection.
The Army should rightfully fall somewhere among the CG and USMC in overall size.

From the close of the Indian Wars (~1890) to WWI and again from WWI to ~1938 that’s exactly what the Army was. The biggest mission for the Army during those periods was protecting the southern border and manning coastal forts. The sole exception was the Spanish-American war which was mostly fought by short timers lead by career officers/NCO.

A large navy is going to be almost completely useless in a war against a real power. During WW2, ship captains were all advised to stay very far away from land. Why? Because a missile from land could sink the ships. Fast forward to 2024 where missile and drone technology has evolved to where missiles fired from Chinese soil could hit almost anywhere in the ocean. Those ships are going to be cannon fodder. For a very small investment of a 10-20 missiles, you can sink an entire aircraft carrier, bringing down billions in equipment and killing thousands of military personel on board. The key to a strong navy in modern times, outside of small wars against less technologically advanced enemies (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc), is a capable submarine force.
The U.S. must, as dictated by geography, be a naval power. A surface component with a strong airwing is a critical part of naval power. Regardless of the technological tier of our opponent. Submarines cannot provide close air support, escort merchant shipping, provide gunfire support, or put amphibious forces ashore. Since the dawn of War it's always been a race between weapon and counter-measure. The surface Navy was dedicated to the problem of long-range fleet air defense from October 1944 (first kamikaze raids) to the fall of the Soviet Union (end of Soviet airpower). Aegis, the Standard missile family, and the F-14/AIM54 platform are products of that 50-year challenge. It's a case of the old becoming new again and the 90s-era Peace Dividend biting us in the rear.
As to your point of a small investment of missiles reaping huge dividends, the Japanese tried. Swarms of kamikazes attempting to overwhelm CAP patrols and AA guns. They made tactical gains, severely damaging the FRANKLIN and BUNKER HILL, damaging cruisers, and sinking a good number of destroyers. However, the tactic was negated by pushing out CAP patrols directed by radar pickets and continuous attacks on airfields. Some future opponent will try to overwhelm defenses with missiles, they will sink ships, countermeasures will be developed, then fielded. That was the entire strategy of the Soviet navy to sink US carriers in WWIII but they never got to try.
Sad to say, but those "useful idiots" deserve what's coming to them if something big does really kick off...
