I am unwilling to fight WWIII for Ukraine. Simple as that.

Hey, leave me alone!

Haven't read that story because, well, I just don't care. But if that recap is even close, he sounds like the kind of guy that won't delegate anything because he's worried the guy he would delegate to isn't as capable and would screw it up. So, in the process, he screws it up himself and the junior guys eventually take over as commander having not had any real responsibility. And guess what they do? Screw it up. But in the meantime we've risked talking about him 3 times...

Sorry, should have been more specific, meant the story Danger41 talked about. I agree with that guy that will not be named at risk of his coming back to this board that the new 'standards' focus is dumb. It's like a E-9 from the height of the Died suddenly put on a bunch of stars. Que their favorite Patton quote of 'if you can't get them to wear their uniform right, then how can you get them to fight right' or something like that. Patton was a brilliant leader in many regards, but either this quote was made up (highly likely) or he had Biden moment. Patton was a serious history buff and clearly knew that uniforms were a relatively new invention in warfare, so clearly not something that was truly necessary to combat. Plus I doubt he would have ever passed a uniform inspection himself. Ivory handled pistols, a sash, swagger stick, and custom non-authorized pants were clearly not in reg. Just look at the Civil War and how the Rebels consistently had abysmal uniforms, far worse than the Union, yet man for man outfought the Union at pretty much every battle. Rebels were often shoe-less, in tattered pants and a jacket, maybe a hat maybe not, a beard that hasn't seen a razor in months, and hair to match, yet those same guys stood out in the open 40 yards from the enemy for multiple volleys perfectly following orders. Obviously there is no relation between fighting ability and uniform perfection, so why the newfound focus on uniforms? We must be doing so awesome in preparing for war with China that we can now focus on things that have zero impact on our ability to defend our nation.

We have some mutual FB friends and several years ago I would see his social/political rants and my fiends’ pages —he’s a progressive leftist who truly believes that if you don’t agree with him then it’s because you’re stupid/not well educated. He thinks he’s part of the elite because he went to Harvard law school post AF. Let’s just say that if I agree with him on anything then it’s purely out of coincidence because he is a jerk, and that’s me putting it kindly.

He wants to ban guns for us, not for them. He'll be dead from old age before the debates.

I am also concerned about the potential ways that the libs will try to push this doctrine, but one saving item for this is that there is a court hearing in order to issue a violence restraining order. The part I'm worried about is how the libs will try to set up kangaroo court hearings for "violence" as a restraining order is a temporary measure so the evidence threshold is pretty low. A liberal city or state could set up a special court system to handle these requests and pack those courts with anti-gun judges and use that for their gun confiscation efforts.

Trump’s repsonses are going to be epic. Biden can barely walk.

While I understand and agree with the ruling, it does open the door to other not as clear encroachments. You are arrested for a crime, will they take your weapons in the name of "safety" even though you have not been convicted. This is indeed a huge ruling that will open new attacks on 2A. I agree they are very pro 2A, I am more concerned about rulings on silencers, braces and NFA.

The debate is going to be awesome! It will be insane.

This probably belongs in the 'WTF?' thread...

yes. no luck needed. ukraine isn't nato. good luck to them. i'd start negotiating if i were them.
