Volesky was on a $92-an-hour contract with the Army serving as a senior mentor advising top military officers and other personnel on war games strategy and other military activities, according to the USA Today report.
This is the only time I've seen them remark on how much (usually useless) people get paid. I certainly never see that with 'diversity' consultants. It only happens when it's someone they do not like.
The political purging of the military is a good thing, if the states were smart enough to set up state militias to take them in. Not National Guard, official State government units. If the enemy is firing all their soldiers and generals, snatch that shit up.
As far as I know, that is exactly what Florida and Texas have been doing. Florida reestalished their State Guard and is inviting people fired from the military to come join. And then Texas is encouraging disgruntled Border Patrol to join the Texas Rangers, and then has been using said Rangers to enforce border law (since now its Texas law they are breaking), as well as fighting the various cities doing stupid things in a very "One Riot, One Ranger" attitude reborn.
I suppose now, we just need to start convincing other states to do that. And considering most of the local elections are starting to be won by MAGA types, that bodes well for such strategies.
The problem with State Militias is that, in theory, the US military should actually be contracting them to fight wars, rather than PMCs. The US military federalized the national gaurd so they didn't have to do that. Worse, several state militaries have been dissolved due to them being corrupt as fuck, and also giant wastes of money because they don't produce good soldiers.
If the state could produce high quality troops, this wouldn't be such a problem. But the states haven't been producing their own military units (for the most part) in decades or centuries.
Fair. But the reformation of State Guard would at least be a start since they are answerable to the Governor rather than the Fed. You would just have to actually knuckle down and enforce some training regimes as well as find friendly arms suppliers. Which honestly may not be that difficult since so many arms makers are becoming fed up with the Left constantly trying to screw them. The harder would come in your heavy ordinance you outlined in the other post (naval and air power). That may require some creativity. Could help rebound the American shipping industry though if done right.
Basically each state needs a parallel guard. I guess that's what DeSantis is doing? We never should have let them centralize the national guard in the first place.
In fact I'd go a step further and say the militias should all be local. The state should just provide funding, unit standardization, and regular training. In an emergency the governor could call them up, but at all other times they are independently operated.
They're not really going far enough. You really need a full army, navy, air-force that is wholly accountable to the state government and is not connected to the US military.
You can guess why the feds don't want that.

My only issue is that as local as they may be, they really do have to fall under some larger command structures for organization purposes. Most conflicts and emergencies are going to be cross-county. So you either need to start merging counties, or have a pre-built framework which the militias can fall into.
But there's also a huge extra issue. I'm not talking about only ground troops. I'm talking about both blue & brown water naval militias, and air militias as well. I don't just mean that as some libertarian fantasy, either. Decentralized, and discontiguous, low-kinetic warfare with the use of air & naval light vehicles & drones are going to be a more common thing going forward, and the only effective way to combat that is with similarly armed and organized militias. What that means is that your county's helicopter / drone squadron needs to be aware of, and in good communication with, your neighboring county's anti-aircraft militia units. Which means, even if the state is the sole commanding force of the militia, some sort of state apparatus will be needed for logistical, transport, and communication purposes.
He should have known better than to have said anything publicly that goes against his superiors' woke agenda.
I imagine the current leadership is going to drive many to early retirement. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Pentagon's wokeness is the result of Chinese infiltration and subversion.
A woke military is treasonous, given social justice's Marxist philosophical pedigree.
It’s always used one sidedly, the amount of soy boys and women we could have dropped over trump attacks would have cleaned most the rot in the military.
The amount of attacks on Melania Trump were pretty mental, they found every possible attack vector to pin anything negative on Trump(and not only her, how many "he wants to fuck his daughter" jokes did he have to suffer through?). But HE is supposed to be the fascist speech police, not Biden.
The only time I ever saw even the slightest pushback against the attacks on his family was when they went after Baron, likely because the normies caught on to that one, and then they just ignored his existence entirely.
In fact, after the first year it was exclusively focused on his first daughter and wife. His older boys seemed to slip off as well, which makes it even more pathetic.
I forgot about that. Imagine something like this with Trump, you would hear it even in backwater countries. That's my main pet peeve with the media currently: no equal reporting. Just report on everything equally and I am happy...won't happen ever though.

That’s because DIE is one of the highest paid positions, it’s the only way to ensure their ineptitude survives the market.
When people started getting fired for wrongthink >30 years ago there wasn't any pushback. And now there is nobody left to speak for me.

Woke ponce: "Well if you don't like it you can start your own military".
...
Woke ponce: "Wait!!! Not like that!!!!"
This is going to get weird(er).
I’m speechless. That is pretty mild
Yep, nothing compared to what her stepson said about her.
Well she's not a biologist
Maybe Russia isn't the more important enemy that you should worry about...

She's el presidente's wife, and we're in a banana republic. The general is lucky to be alive right now.
