He said that the first thing Miley did when he got off the helicopter was throw a fit because his unit was rocking their Texas National Guard unit patches, and he ordered them to don the "proper" 10th Mountain unit patches.

UGHHHHHHHHH

That moment when the fucking CG is crying about fucking patches in fucking theater. Fucking Garrison monster needs to go back home where that shit means something.

While sitting there, they somehow got on a topic of army command, and Miley started talking about how there were bases he had been told to close down during the Obama cuts, and he managed to get around it by doing shenanigans moving units around and creating paper trails. My brother was being a good Specialist sitting there, nodding, and saying "Sir, yes sir." but the whole time he was thinking "This sounds very illegal."

Oh my fucking god.

I'm not even worried about the illegal part.

Those cuts were on purpose because of the enormous waste of resources and mission creep Iraq was becoming! The reason we were closing shit down (like the fucking Burger King in the Green Zone) was because it had nothing to do with getting the fuck out of Iraq, and was more likely to just waste resources in us staying there!

He's basically saying, "You know what's a good idea? Avoiding mission accomplishment!"
