• Holy shit generals are the dumbest people. I once had to sit and listen to a 3 star give our small fob a pep talk in Iraq. Dumb ass actually told us that the war was “just like football” and each thing we were successful at was a first down. Any general that saber rattles should be thrown in the brig for life.

      according to Scott Ritter the US has a LOT of high ranking generals and their job is basically to make weapons contractors money

      • I saw that kind of shit in the Marines, a bunch of “good business” arrangements for retiring higher ups. Apparently the online personnel website (marine online) is owned and operated by a retired sergeant major. It’s severely outdated and has massive security vulnerabilities. Petty sure they haven’t updated it since 2003, and that fat sack just keeps collecting a paycheck with his pension. The whole MIC is just that level of boring.
