GOMoR
Once they knew I wasn’t a true believer, that I wasn’t on board with the program it was over for me. You are only allowed to question the leadership from one position: from the left. That’s it. No conservative or rational critique is allowed. I gave a critique from rational liberalism and that’s why I had to be jettisoned. If I would have written a leftist tirade calling all the GOs, the Army and the country racist and sexist I would have received a podium at the October AUSA conference and been brought into a GO’s command somewhere.
Sometimes a Uniform is More than That
We also have to understand the uniform as a symbol. The pinks and greens are a symbol of an Army that fought wars and won. The Army Service Uniform is a uniform that symbolizes an army at war for 16 years without a declared victory. Those are the respective periods, eras and moods those uniforms represent.

That’s when I realized I was being canceled. Cancel culture had come for me. It was inside the gates. We had a broken arrow. Not only was it a broken arrow, but it was also a fragging. Someone from the inside was rolling a grenade under my tent. The people rolling the grenade were people I had worked with, been cordial with, and provided support to. So, I really didn’t understand why they would do this.
Evangelists of Diversity…Except the one that Matters
Today we find the march through the institutions continues unabated at Treasury and DNI. Also, where is the President on this?
