"I’d literally served around the globe, operating in and out of seventy countries, and I’d flown combat missions in Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Rwanda, Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia. I was honored to assume this new and awesome responsibility.

But my experiences in the Clinton White House turned my gratitude and awe into shock, revulsion, and sorrow as I saw first-hand the careless and utterly selfish way in which Clinton and his administration ran our country. It wasn’t “nation first,” it was “politics first” — and our military and our national security suffered. So retired, and out of uniform, I wrote “Dereliction of Duty,” documenting our former president’s contempt for the military, his indifference to important issues except insofar as they served his own political or personal purposes, and his failure to accept his responsibilities as our commander in chief.

I walked out of the Clinton White House on my last day in the spring of 1998. I had personal experience with Clinton’s many missteps on several fronts militarily, including our failure to remove Osama Bin Laden prior to that terrorist’s attack on US soil on 9/11 and the very palpable disdain military members had for their “commander.” There’s an inviolable tenet in the military and everybody gets it – you can’t demand respect; you have to earn it. In my personal case, I was renewed and “re-bluing,” heading back to my service as a pilot and a commander. I was privileged to serve as a commander at the United States Air Force Academy where I could lead aspiring young officer candidates. After retirement, I penned my first book as a clarion call to all Americans. When we vote for a president, we vote for a military leader. We’d failed miserably with Bill Clinton.

The Biden administration was no different, perhaps even worse. History repeated itself in the presidency of Joe Biden. Only this time, the misconduct of Biden and his woke cronies in the Pentagon led to the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan directly leading to Americans needlessly dying and the delivery of millions of dollars of American military weapons to the Taliban, our enemy. Concurrently, the Biden administration also played dangerous games with social engineering in our forces (prioritizing “equity” over “capability”), positing notions that the greatest threat globally to our troops was climate change and sending millions of dollars of U.S. military arms and equipment to Ukraine which likely bought cover for his and his son’s financial involvement. Our stature on the world stage was appropriately cast as our leader falling upstairs and falling off bikes. Our nation cannot abide fools in leadership, yet there were again.

From my point of view as a military veteran and analyst, it seems the unifying theme of Democrat presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and recently Biden, is a consistent underestimating of foreign policy dangers and an undermining of military capabilities for purely political reasons. Military units rely on meritocracy and adding value to capabilities and logistics. As with previous Democrat presidents, that tenet didn’t trend with Biden.

Fortunately, in what can only be describe as Divine Intervention, we now we have Donald Trump as our commander-in-chief and Pete Hegseth as our Secretary of Defense. Lots of damage has been done, let’s fix it!"

I don't see how banning books at military academies or bases has anything to do with improving the military. I didn't realize having books by Maya Angelou in a library was holding back the military.

Those books weren’t holding back the military at all because nobody was reading them.

But let there be no doubt that these worthless politicians have some kind of distain for military people as being “less than me” and it’s much more prevalent on the elitist Democratic side as evidenced by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Billy Clinton

You could make similar statements and criticisms about every modern administration. And yes, modern Dems are going to be culturally less favorable to military personnel. Water is also wet.

When it comes to lack of respect for the military, trump said "hold my beer".

The truths and allegations of his disdain are much more solid then the rumors and innuendo you typically like to use.

If trump respected the military, he wouldn't have said some of the things he's said and done some of the things he's done.

He also wouldn't use the Army's 250th anniversary to justify an elaborate parade on his birthday. Should we celebrate the Army's anniversary? Yes. Should we do it on trump's birthday? No. That's something that the dictator of a banana republic does.

I told you years ago you were already living in a Banana Republic :D but without the breezy palms and turquoise seas

The people serving in the military overwhelmingly feel Trump cares about them 10 fold more than any liberal Dem

Many in the military are also re-evaluating if 'fighting for their country" was worth it seeing how the self-appointed geniuses in DC have been wrong about everything .... Suckers and losers? maybe so considering the scumbags that sent them to war hate this country

Which Dems are you referring to? And again, I could make similar statements about R’s. EG: why are they fucking up the VA? Trump has attacked many high ranking active duty members and well as vets.

Regarding war: really? Remember Iraq? Is Trump supporting Putin and Netanyahu in their fights? Both sides have supported genocide in GAZA. Are Democracy, sovereignty, and world peace the ideologies your speaking of?

The same reason they hate cops and law enforcement. They know in a public setting nobody will go along with their batshit crazy beliefs so they want to disarm and force their ideas on citizens. They do not want to be held accountable they want you to be held accountable. They think they should get to do whatever they want, steal your money, force healthcare on you, take freedom away, disarm you etc

They are weak and cannot force their agenda on you without somebody doing it for them.

trump has taken the banana republic to a whole new level of tinpot dictatorship.

We already know that people serving overwhelmingly feel trump cares about them. He's a persuasive snake oil salesman but that doesn't mean that he actually cares about them..

I expect to see the same respect for American lives and loathing for putting them in harms way If trump sends the military to Greenland, Panama, Gaza or anywhere else. If he does and you or anyone else who blathered on about staying out of Ukraine or other conflicts support him then you've hypocrites.

Right. So your statements are purely partisan.

Patently false on the VA. I have a good friend who’s a doctor at a major VA hospital and it is fucked up. They work their asses off, are dedicated to their patients. Sone of the issues predate the current changes but Trunp isn’t helping.

This is inarguable.

"ensuring the president was on his way to his residence upstairs, I headed to my bedroom in the East Wing. Shortly thereafter, my phone rang and it was the AF-1 presidential pilot. “Buzz, we have a problem,” he said. Oh shit,” I thought.

Apparently, Clinton had cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her. She was young, a staff sergeant, and married with children. I knew her, liked her, and she was super sweet. Now, she was in tears. I asked the pilot what she wanted. He told me that she didn’t want to be another “bimbo,” she wanted to remain in the Air Force and be promotable. All she wanted was an apology. In the world of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey, this wasn’t surprising to me. It was, however terribly disappointing and sad.

So, that morning, as a young major, I had to walk to the Oval Office and tell the commander-in-chief that he needed to apologize to the young lady. I’ve been shot at with hot metal but this was the toughest day in my life. I remember on my way to talk with him thinking “I didn’t sign up for this shit.”

Two weeks later, we got the two together onboard AF-1 in the president’s office and he offered a very uncontrite “half apology.” He didn’t care.

If anybody in the military had done that it would’ve been jail, expulsion, or both. It would’ve been Fort Leavenworth. But not for this president, not for this man. It was just another day. Yet another in my experiences working for a man with absolutely no integrity and no moral fiber."

Should we post the stories of the 26+ women that trump has sexually assaulted/raped? What about Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal? Photos of trump with Marla Maples while he was still married to Ivana?

bill clinton and donald trump are peas in a pod when it comes to how they treat women.

I agree, book circulation at libraries, especially college libraries, is next to nothing. Even more of a reason to question why Hegseth and his crew decided to direct the service academies and bases to remove books from those libraries. Why even bother and make it a point to be argued? There's certainly far more active things to worry about than books that were collecting dust.

Marks told WTOP the notion that the books would be taken off the shelves of the academy’s library didn’t make any sense to him.

“These are some of the smartest, most dedicated students in the whole world. Many of them, a month from now, will be commissioned officers leading our Navy and Marine Corps. While at the same breath, we’re telling them that they can’t read a book in the library,” Marks said.

When he reached out to Amundson, he told her about his plan. He was starting a GoFundMe page and he’d cover the cost of stocking the books at her shop so that Midshipmen could come in and get a selection of the titles — free of charge.

Amundson stopped him before he continued, “And I pretty much said, ‘Hey, we’re already with you, man. We’re in. We’re absolutely in. We’ve already started ordering books.'”

Marks said he’d planned on having a “modest goal” with the GoFundMe, but since it’s been reported in outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post, it’s taken off. As of this reporting, the fundraiser page has garnered over $48,000.

“I will say that the support from alumni and support from the local Maryland, D.C., Virginia citizens has been tremendously positive, overwhelmingly positive in terms of donations. We’re past 700 donations, which is incredible,” Marks said.

Amundson and Marks both said the effort has been free of division.

“There’s been no politics in the conversations with people that have been coming in,” Amundson said. “And they give either financial support or just absolute encouragement, volunteer their time to let us know that this is the right thing to do.”

She said graduates and community members alike have chipped in.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Well that would be her murder, in fact the only person who was murdered on Three Kings Day, doesn’t have a place in their lying narrative because it’s true
