Some of this would be humorous if it weren't so ignorant. Do any of y'all have an idea what his pension would be if he retired as a Lt. Col. today with 24 years experience? Not to mention the fact that he's a Deep State Operative and probably makes more doing that than he does in the Army. He probably got paid well for his treason and if he did by chance, get bounced, there is probably a cushy consulting job for him. Plus he could sign a big book deal to tell his story about how the big bad woof blew his house down and make millions off the bogus scam, just like many others have-all legal, as opposed to his offshore accounts.
Plus the fact that he did not get to be a light colonel by accident. He's been promoted all the way by Democrats in the Army that Clinton, Bush and Osama pushed. They're still there and when this blows over the guy at the top has no idea what they're doing. Look at some of Trump's clueless appointments that his Deep State buddies told him were good old boys who'd do him right. Anybody remember Jeff Sessions?
Be advised, I am all in on Trump, but there are simply things he can't know or watch all the time and the Deep State is very, very embedded. As soon as Trump's attention is on something else, this pogue gets promoted to full bird.
Yep.
People hate that politicians get re-elected for a lifetime.
They become princes, and forget why they are there.
So, folks want term limits.
The problem with term limits is what Ethan covered above.
We send a newly minted, green politician to the grinder in DC,
They no NOTHING!
Their compatriots, and the establishment have tremendous
impact on their decisions.
So, we have long term bureaucrats (swamp) running the show.
These are people we don't elect, can't throw out of office, and
mostly will never know their name.
Consider Joe Stalin.
He was a thug. Not highly educated.
Loyal to Lenin. Glad wanted to reward him with a position.
Not "qualified" for a prestigious spot, Stalin ask to be made
Party Secretary-General.
Glad thought that was great. He couldnt hurt anything there.
Of course, everything crosses the secretary's desk.
And who schedules the meetings in a government of meetings.
Gathering all the information.
Choosing who learns what, and when.
Setting up all meetings and appointments, and controlling
who is there.
Old Joe made history,
from the secretary's position.
In DC,
The swamp is following Joe's footsteps,
And ideology.
Vindeman, Bolton, the list goes on.
They all believed in THEIR power and ideas.
They couldn't just do what the boss ask.
No, they had come to believe they were there to run
the show. Not run it for. The Boss.
