I’m ready for it.
A Sec Def that would tell idiots using the US Armed Forces for woke social experiments to go ■■■■ themselves and peddle their bull ■■■■ someplace else.
If the US Military Branches existed solely to train a cohesive fighting force at a top level of readiness having good order and discipline “conservative kids” wouldn’t hesitate to enlist.

This is about politicians, some wearing uniforms, or having worn uniforms in the past. This has a feel to it, like the feel from about 16 months ago when a Sec Def and a bunch of senior officers put their political careers before the lives of troops. And as for Austin, he was a multi level commander over troops in Afghanistan. We know now that DOD and State were blowing smoke up our pant legs about the progress in Afghanistan for years. Austin was one of those officers blowing that smoke. I’m old enough to remember another time when a guy named McNamara and a General named Westmoreland blew smoke up the public’s leg.
It might help. If the civilian leadership keep seeing their recruitment dropping especially in those areas of the country they get most of them something will have to change. It will have to start from the civilian leadership first, it has to be made public. Congress needs to do a better job at screening, stop making Officers politicians.

I’ve never had a drill captain. I did have several drill sergeants.

Okay. Is there a point?
You don’t call Sergeants ma’am or sir.

Well, according to that snippet I quoted, they would:
None of my drill instructors were commissioned or warrant officers, which are the ones you would address as sir or ma’am. My drill instructors were NCOs, which were already addressed as Sergeant Jones, or Drill Sergeant Jones.
So that quote has me confused.
Ranks and roles is not Sir Ma’am. And officers are not drill sergeants.

Well, there you go. Role followed by last name. For example:
Ibid.
Show me a Sir or Ma’am in there

Okay, role followed by last name.
That’s like the sixth time that phrase has appeared in the thread.
He is saying the paragraph makes no sense because officers are not drill Sergeants so they wouldn’t have ever been called sir or Ma’am. They were always referred to as ranks or role and last name.
Well then, problem solved.
The point was fairly obvious.
Yeah, my time was definitely wasted.
