Basically.
Weren't you a finance officer (without any warfare qualification whatsoever) in the @DeptofWar that hasn't passed a financial audit in recent memory?
Kinda strikes me as an unqualified sorority chic with daddy's credit card that got promoted for... reasons.

Is it retard day on X and someone forgot to tell me? How do you call yourself 'common sense' and not know you have to yell to be heard over the rotor noise on a fucking helicopter? PS, no one, absolutely no one, believes you give a shit about the Marines. They're just a useful tool for your TDS.
This picture is a very important picture to look at. It’s what America has become. Screaming powerful dudes treating others as if they are their servant property. My heart is breaking for this young Marine One pilot. He doesn’t deserve this shit from trump.

Any American that's paid attention the last 10 yrs should realize this War is far from over, even if we win this November, God Willing, the War will still be ongoing. This entrenched enemy we fight largely has been embedded in Congress for decades remains America's greatest threat..
The only chance we have in this fight is to promote the #TooBigToRig message just as we did in 2024..
It's a damn shame we have to compete with the Black Pill defetus messaging selling out their own country men, along with the threat of Islam & communism.
Giving in is Wrong. VOTE !

I stand with Alpha.
TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE...IT'S NOT A QUESTION
There comes a moment when every generation finds out what it is made of.
Not when things are easy.
Not when the path is clear.
But when faith is tested, institutions are questioned, morale is collapsing, and good men are being told that nothing matters anymore.
That is when you stand.
I think about the Americans who came before us......the ones who crossed frozen rivers, stood behind stone walls, charged beaches, crawled through jungles, crossed deserts, and carried their brothers home.
They were not promised victory.
They were not promised fairness.
They were not promised they would even live to see what came next.
They simply understood that freedom survives only when someone is willing to carry it forward.
If I had been alive in 1775, I would like to believe I would have been tightening my gear, checking my rifle, looking at the men beside me, and preparing to march.
Not because I knew we would win. Because some things are worth standing for even when the outcome is uncertain. That spirit cannot die now.
You can question the system.
You can demand accountability.
You can challenge corruption.
You can refuse blind trust.
But never confuse distrust with surrender. Washington called liberty a sacred fire. Lincoln called our duty unfinished work. Kennedy told us not to shrink from responsibility.
Now the torch is in our hands. Maybe this is our moment. Maybe history is looking at us right now and asking the same question it asked every generation before us:
Will you carry it forward?
I know my answer.
I will not quit on America.
I will not surrender my voice.
I will not surrender my duty.
I will stand.
I will fight lawfully.
I will speak.
I will vote.
And I will do everything I can to leave this Republic stronger than I found it. For those who came before us. For those standing beside us And for the Americans who have not been born yet.
It is our turn now.
SEMPER FI,
-ALPHA

Back when I was in the E-4 Mafia, I had a very wise chief who was notorious for asking "AND THEN WHAT" whenever we came up with an idea we thought was brilliant but was really dumb.
Elections don't pause because one side is angry. They happen regardless, ballots are counted from the people who actually cast them, winners are certified, and those winners take office and exercise power. A boycott is not a veto. It is a concession of the field.
That is the core of the “and then what?” question. The system does not stop operating when a faction withdraws. It operates with a different electorate.
Turnout is not a moral statement. It is math. Midterm electorates are already smaller and older than presidential ones. Relatively small shifts in who shows up flip close House districts, Senate races, governorships, state legislative chambers, and secretary of state offices, school boards, etc and the secretary of state offices actually run the next election.
In a year of narrow majorities, that is decisive. A boycott large enough to be “a protest” is large enough to lose the House, lose or shrink a Senate majority, lose state trifectas, and lose the officials who set voter-roll procedures, audit rules, and poll-worker training. Those offices do not sit empty. They are filled by the people who did participate. And then what? You are dealing with a California and not a Florida where you can still make a difference.
State legislatures that flip write the next round of election statutes. Secretaries of state who flip administer the next round of elections. The boycott does not freeze the rules in place. It hands the rule-writing pen to the side that kept voting.
“The system continues without you” is not a slogan. It is the design. And then what?
Courts still decide cases, but the judges who hear them are confirmed by the Senate that exists after the election, not the Senate that would have existed if the boycotters had shown up. None of that machinery requires the consent of people who stayed home.
If the complaint is that electronic machines are vulnerable, that noncitizens are on the rolls, or that a federal SAVE-style bill failed, the practical question is who will be in a position to change any of those things afterward. Sitting out reduces the number of legislators who share that diagnosis. It does not create a legal or institutional pause button. Reasonable people can still want tighter ID, paper trails, and citizenship checks. Those changes require majorities, not absences.
A one-party Congress or a flipped state government can move election law in the opposite direction: more mail voting, weaker ID, different purge rules, different funding for election administration. That is the predictable “and then what.” The protest does not make the existing system more legitimate or more conservative. It makes the next iteration of the system less responsive to the people who walked away.
Protest-by-absence has a poor record as a strategy for institutional change. Walking off the field does not cancel the game. It also severs the only peaceful, legal mechanism most citizens have for replacing the specific officials they blame. Primary challenges, state-level bills, litigation, paper-ballot requirements, risk-limiting audits, and citizenship-verification programs all require people in office who will pursue them. Those people get there by winning elections under the current rules, however imperfect those rules are judged to be.
Frustration with the Senate’s failure to pass the SAVE America Act, with machine vendors, or with enforcement of existing citizenship laws is real for many voters. Converting that frustration into non-participation does not punish the Senate or the vendors. It reduces the coalition that can punish them later. The election still happens. The winners still govern. The only variable the boycotters control is whether they have any representatives left inside the room when the next set of rules is written.
And then what?

Congrats and welcome back.
Beautiful Florida ! It’s great to be back ! I am headed to Tampa to be apart of the Mighty 25 Gala later this evening . The Mighty 25 recognizes individuals and organizations who turn service into meaningful action, especially in support of service members, veterans, and military families. I’m truly honored that I have been selected as one of this year’s Mighty 25 honorees.

So many memories. I hated that damn thing. The first time I tried to use it, it flung me across the dorm room.

The hilarious part of the whole saga is she was a finance and the DOD never passed an audit EVER.
This actually hurt me to write it.
I HATE when the quality of someone's service is judged by the MOS and/or component they are a part of.
One team, one fight, and we all pledged our lives to support and defend the Constitution. That's long been my mantra.
I was a career logistics officer and I hate it when soldiers I knew who gave the ultimate sacrifice were disparaged as "POGs." I hate it.
Yet, this is different.
This is a DEI general disparaging an Infantryman who served in the dirt she never got under her well-coiffed fingernails.
I won't tolerate operators disparaging the service of others.
But I also won't tolerate someone with shiny boots and a freshly-starched uniform disparaging combat operators.
No I will not.

Today I sent Mayor Leslie Waters a letter to notify her that the City of Seminole is breaking the law by campaigning against Amendment 3 (property tax relief). This must be corrected and I am confident that Mayor Waters can do the right thing.
