I tend to agree with this father.  I am glad Rep. Issa gave these folks a voice.

 

(to the mods, I realize this is an old thread, but this new story seems to fit best here.  If you wish to move it to another thread or make it a separate thread, I am fine with that as well)

 

Fallen Marine’s Father at Rep. Issa Event: Biden, Brass ‘Need to Resign Immediately’

 

Hoover didn’t mince words at the Escondido City Council chambers event.

He called out Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, other Marine brass and “ultimately the president.”

 

“Do what our son did,” Hoover said. “Be a grown-### man. Admit to your mistakes. Learn from them so this doesn’t happen ever, ever again. You all need to resign immediately.”

Just a side note if one obtains rhodium states, minions will do the grunt work. 

 

Another good trick is to respond to some firebrand that's something was never said. They will spend much time finding it.

 

Nonetheless I agree with TBoneTX.  Good job finding a relevant thread

Where it relates to the upper echelons of the military, who would you get to replace them?

 

Today’s US military does not have a track record of success. Where will the inspirational leaders come from? Moreover, will they subscribe to the acceptable ideology?

 

Until the military gets back to the business of fighting in the most efficient manner possible and winning conflicts and is released from the current socio-political groupthink it has to advance, it really doesn’t matter who is in command. 🙁

The 2 thinks that scate me the most.

1. The absolute woke ideology that is becoming mission one. Which will be shortly followed by the politicization of our military. 

 

2. The 100% politicization of our justice system

I'd like to see Tulsi Gabbard as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, or as Secretary of Defense.  This garbage would diminish in a real hurry.

You are right, if these incompetents resign, more than likely Old Corrupt Joe will just replace them with something worse (kind of like wishing for Old Corrupt Joe to resign, knowing full well his replacement will be Kackling Kamala).  It is disheartening though to see that no one in the DC bureaucracy is ever held accountable.
