    As a Marine vet it is pretty clear that most of these people are in “just following orders” mode, they’re forgetting their oaths and that just following orders doesn’t fly, they need a good reminder.

        They shouldn’t need reminding, but alas a month later and this shit show continues to get worse.

        I have no faith in the military at all anymore, this shit is Joe-over and it’s about time we start moving forward with a plan to do something about it.
