    yes the whole nation is in jeopardy because some warmongers arent getting their promotions… if this is really the case, then the military is being mismanaged way worse than anyone knows.

    we could cut those positions outright, and 10,000 others, and still be the biggest assholes on the planet.

      The whole nation is in jeopardy because these leadership positions are being held open until Trump is reelected in a rework of the Merrick Garland SC nomination. Which should be terrifying. Jan 6 failed in part because some of the military top brass (Miley) put oath before Trump.

      Read up on Project 2025 if you haven’t. These “unconnected events” are anything but. It’s a strategy.

      Remember when they held up the judicial nominations under Obama, only to force through a massive number of federal judges (and three Supreme Court picks) once they had control again? You can see how they’re doing the exact same thing with the military right now.

      Now imagine if, on January 6th, the military was being run by MAGAts.

      When you refuse to fill management positions, yes, it will become even more mismanaged. Moreover, this is still messing with people’s pay and families as well. You can’t really cut management positions in the military and expect it to function. Our readiness will absolutely be hindered.

      You can hate the army, but they’re also one of the biggest suppliers of aid to other countries. Their logistics and planning help save more lives than you ever will, plus they save more lives than they actually ever take in combat.

      You’re no better than a Republican who just wants to shut down and obstruct without offering any actual assistance or plans to move forward. You’re a child not getting their way. Are you related to the Senator as you throw a similar hissy fit?
