Hey Gunny, different topic. I appreciate your candidness last night regarding your situation. As a non-vet, I am only privy to what I hear and read about the poor treatment Veterans receive from the VA. Has that been your experience as well and have you found that you get more and better help from a Republican administration than from the Democrats? Just curious and I hope you do receive the highest quality healthcare treatment that you have earned and deserve. I mean that sincerely.
It was beyond atrocious under Obama. Trump first term, they really put a focus on it and got it turned around and heading in the right direction. No real change either way since through Biden or 2nd Trump admin.
Militarily, and as a veteran, Trump’s admins have been so much better than Obama or Biden. The biggest impact was clearly defined mission objectives and appropriate delegation of authority. In general, in Democrat administrations, they want everything going to the White House for approval. You can honestly tell by this how out of touch with reality these guys are, not realizing the ckusterfvck they cause by retaining what amounts to operational command authority.
Trump delegated the decision making authority back down to where it made sense, usually with the commander on the ground. There are some pretty defined parameters and as long as you’re in that box, execute.
Having worked with all of the services on the ground pretty closely, the analogy is this. In the Army, they tell you everything you’re allowed to do, and if it doesn’t say to do it, you don’t. It eliminates creative problem solving and initiative.
In the Navy and Marine Corps, they tell you everything you’re not allowed to do, proceed accordingly and exercise good judgement and discretion; and if you really need to do the thing you’re not supposed to do due to mission parameters, you can.
Candidly, I wouldn’t let any of my nieces or nephews into the service under Biden. That administration was the most disorganized clusterfvck of an admin I’d seen in my lifetime. Take the Afghan withdrawal for example. They turned that over to the State Dept to plan and execute. There’s a pretty common saying, the DoS can’t plan a fvcking birthday party, let alone a complex military withdrawal. They literally left the Afghan military to die and caused the collapse of AFG. They withdrew logistics and intel first. The guys had been taught to fight like us and we chop both legs out from under them at jump street. Then, the actual final weeks, they were literally talking and planning the photo op for Biden as “the President who got us out of Afghanistan 20 years to the day after 9/11”. That whole situation made “Mission Accomplished” look like a good idea. The best part about it? They were begging contractors to hold the line to the end because of how badly they fvcked the situation up. Heads should’ve rolled in the Pentagon and DoS. Nope, nada, nothing. It was a disgrace.
A Dem administration could offer me weekly steak& blowjob nights and I assume punch myself in the dick than vote for one of those morons.
You can ***** all you want about Trump and his demeanor and personality. Compared to the sheer incompetence of Dem admins wit h the military? He’s a million times better.
JD Vance is all MAGA all the time and didn't you say earlier in the thread you'd NEVER join us in the MAGA movement?
