    This has really gotta piss you off if you risked your life for this country just for some pissant turd senator to block your promotion. Nothing to do with you, no, it’s for “reasons” fuck these dudes.

      I was lucky enough to have an air force general come to a history of strategic thought class and she spent time in the Clinton administration. She definitely wasn’t forthcoming about it but reading between the lines you could tell that there’s a cultural difference between the brass and the politicians. I think some are probably disappointed and frustrated but they deal with politicians on a somewhat regular basis and expect politicians to showboat. Others are probably very conservative and completely agree with tuberville and his tactics.
