dream big

There is plenty of waste in the DoD we can cut without affecting ops or military personnel, the DoD is by and large the largest culprit of waste in the USG; if any of you have served time on a staff you know I’m right. I’d also offer that homeland defense should be the #1 priority of a military - I’m pretty sure it’s codified as such even in the previous admin’s NDS. I suspect we will retrograde from Syria pretty soon and Iraq to follow. If we cut down on some of the foreign skirmishes we are consistently involved in, there is more than enough resources to defend the southern border from let’s call them what they are, invaders. Now, will it be clean? Absolutely not, I expect some malicious compliance and it will end up being much more complicated than it needs to be. I’m hopeful that the culprits of any malicious compliance get the boot.

Our nation’s quality of life wasn’t built on taxes.

Which conflict have we won since Desert Storm (if you can count that?) How did Afghanistan turn out? Bro it’s time for some change.

Biden couldn’t talk in complete sentences so kind of irrelevant there. Yes Trump is talking out of his a$$, but his intention isn’t wrong, plenty of worthless expenditures in the DoD - it’s become a jobs and industrial program more so than actual national security.

Didn’t get much better as a Wing Commander. Herk bros under him just about almost blanket partied him.

And if your boss is into dudes?

Whelp, maybe that’s why they always jack up orders and it takes them forever.

Dude exactly, when the E-9s push this crap, especially in a deployed environment, I tell them I assume that everything else must be going great, otherwise you have your priorities completely jacked up. When you are an E-9 or Commander, you only have so many “swings at the bat” to make meaningful impact, if you just wasted it on uniform wear then… Finally, and this instance is proof, E-9s only push this crap because they are enabled by their Commanders. Finally, I’m all about correcting folks if they look like a bag of a$$ in uniform, that doesn’t need command level guidance especially from the CSAF.

When factions of the Democratic Party hate this country through its foundations, and have actively pursued policies detrimental to this country, it is natural that the thought of making this country great would trigger them. Mental help is always an option.

Promote this guy ASAP!

Probably, Good god nobody here is supporting it, we just aren’t dumb enough to take it out of context.

Elon Musk is a Nazi? I’ve seen this floating around our disgruntled leftist friends. I can see the left hasn’t learned anything from the November 2024 beating. Taking photos out of context to insinuate your opponents are Nazis is what drove millions of people away from the Democratic Party.

You jest but this is probably the most accurate prediction. The halfwit can’t string a sentence together (hasn’t been able to since 2019), doubt he just woke up and decided to pardon Miley. His handlers made sure he did - which should scare anyone still in uniform how deeply entrenched the deep state is in the military. Can’t wait for DOGE to destroy the rot that has infested the DOD.

You clearly have not read the book and do not know what you are talking about. Know the dude personally, for those still in, USAF is in for a much better position compared to any of the last several secretaries or under secretaries.

Valid, Norty and Alvin are two CSAFs pushing this shit that both happen to be herbivores (which makes most of us AMC guys nauseous rest assured); but in fairness Wilsbach as current COMACC is not and he’s one of the most ardent perpetuators of this standards initiative; whilst former AMC commander said quote “I’m not doing that shit, I’m focused on keeping future AMC crews alive in the Pacific.”
