Well, I missed the captain's head when I threw the coffee mug at him. And it was empty. But then they simply sent me home. After almost 2-1/2 years. You might have claimed I hardly threw it, but sticking in the dry wall was indicative. My XO-- a career end Major, so no career during war, for chrissakes-- tossed my citations in the trash. They were retrieved by a bud and met me at home. Colonel had signed every one of them.

GOP; convicts and immigrants can't vote!!$$# It steals our jobs and our American thing and constitution and what about the children.Also GOP; wait, what? They are going to vote Republican and may bail us out of this Trumpling fiasco, then of course we welcome their patriotisms and political sensibility.

Seen through a Republican lens. If it benefits the (R) squad, then its good and wholesome but if not, its socialisms and kills babies.

These guys are confident that Trump will do the "honorable" thi…. Oh, please, somebody else finish this for me, I just can't.

This is pretty infuriating. However, the shade that the Navy threw at Trump makes up for some of it. And this guys career is over. If anything, Trumps actions will just lead to more cautious operations, because soldiers are not going to relish the thought of what they will go through. Trump publicized the branch, in a bad way.

If you're working in the White House or if you're working for the United States government, and you don't agree with something the president does, then go home.

There is a monument there for each person who was murdered, at the spots where they fell.

Making the military great again.. by cosigning its worst atrocities. The atrocities so bad the military opted to prosecute them instead of sweeping them under the rug. What. The. Fuck.

Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station posted my favorite commentary on that.

Holy shit is there some serious shade being thrown here.But you've have to know what Navy Chief is to see it. Damn.[edit] In the Navy, there is an enormous difference between Paygrade and Rank -- and nowhere is this more true than E7/Chief. E-7 is a paygrade, anybody can be that. CHIEF is an entirely different thing, that's about respect, knowledge, authority, experience, and attitude.Being a Chief is a very big deal in the navy. Ship can get underway without her captain, but she won't move an inch without her Chiefs.Every Chief is an E7. But not every E7 is a Chief.The navy is saying they will follow the orders of the Commander in Chief and restore Gallagher to the PAYGRADE of E-7. But he is no Chief. He's not entitled to respect or authority, only the paycheck and nothing more.It's an unprecedented act of insubordination at flag rank. A major, public, fuck you to both Trump and Gallagher.I strongly suspect that Tweet won't stay up for long.I also suspect somebody will lose their job. [end edit]

Gotta admit, I read “Cunt Lorance” and didn’t bat an eye.
