Hence the reason Trump came out and called it related to DEI which I will say may not be accurate and unfair since we are also told pilot had a lot of experience and the many other flight problems around RR airport.

Interesting is it not that the name is still withheld . Who is controlling the delay in this info?

Obviously some Pentagon/DOD wokesters.

Ed Calderon was reporting this a number of days ago.

Possible explanations:

*Preparing intel for the 10,000 troops Sheinbaum is about to send north, or

*preparing intel for American action,

*or?

Recommended by my friend Matt Larsen-- currently the head of the Combatives Progam at West Point, prior to that the founder of MACP Moder Army Combatives Program (in which he made me Level 3 Instructor) and a military life of much adventure. Among other things he is a serious studient of evolutionary pyschology/biology. A very thoughtful man.

Well at least in theory and with the expected integrity one can easily argue

it should work both ways

Trump's public name calling and insults to these generals is wrong too

maybe not in military code but I feel strongly about this.

if he doesn't like what they say fine but then work behing the scenes, fire them, or look into a military court.

I do have a problem with it is ok for Trump to insult anyone in any way always the last word but no one can criticize him

This will come back to haunt us. Mark my words.

I agree that Trump insults inappropriately sometimes, but disagree with your here.

It is essential to our system that the military is subject to civilian control-- specifically their Commander in Chief.

They are there to kill people and break things upon his command-- not offer political commentary and disrespect. Period.

ccp · « **Reply #1463 on:** February 26, 2025, 11:47:23 AM »

yes
perhaps my post was misunderstood.

I agree stepping out of the chain of command is to be punished

But I am tired of Trump saying whatever he wants and that being ok

It is not but we are stuck with this part of him.....

"President Trump’s actions undermine our all-volunteer force and weaken our national security. Talented
Americans may be far less likely to choose a life of military serviceaaa if they believe they will be held to a
political standard. Those currently serving may grow cautious of speaking truth to power or they could
erode good order and discipline by taking political actions in uniform. And the public’s traditionally high
trust in the armed forces could begin to wither.

"The United States cannot afford to have our military infected by partisan politics and distracted from its
core mission of defending the nation."

Well, that sure is rich , , ,

(9) U.S. INTERNATIONAL LAW PROF: TREAT GRAY ZONE AS WAR: Chairman of the Stockton Center for International Maritime Law at the U.S. Naval War College James Kraska recommended to Japanese national defense planners and “other states” to treat China’s gray zone tactics as war on the basis that the “gray zone” is an invalid creation of the International Court of Justice and this matches the U.S. approach to self-defense.

Kraska cited the 1986 and 2003 rulings from the ICJ that denied the United States had the right to self defense and collective self-defense due to a “lack of gravity” of the attacks.

Why It Matters: Treating China’s gray zone tactics as war lowers the threshold for war. The reinterpretation is unlikely to be taken outright as Japan holds the ICJ presidency until 2027. However, this does offer an opportunity for a reinterpretation of the law to loosen American allies’ restrictions on the use of force against China’s gray zone tactics. - J.V.
