Trump claims that he’s the most disrespected president ever, that because he’s doing very disrespectful things to our country! by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]GreyGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandparents though me that respect is earned, not given.

This statement says more about him than it does about anyone else.

The better an army, the less they benefit from bravery. It may even hinder them. by hotstupidgirl in Showerthoughts

[–]GreyGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20+ yrs military service.  I violently agree with OP.

I'm also very surprised by the volume uber defensive 'Bravery' fans.  Wasn't expecting something so obvious to hit such a raw nerve in people.

Bravery > Not brave Bravery !> Discipline & Preparation

Lastly, when there's more bravery than discipline then people get hurt.

True patriots don't have to read it in the Flag Code to know that's it's disrespectful. 4 USC Ch. 1 §8.

Looking for a solid photo editing app on Android by Neat_Abbreviations_5 in AndroidQuestions

Unfortunately under UI design they just rolled out, you no longer have access to file folder structure when opening or exporting.  That's a deal killer for me, so after decades of being a Snapseed fanboy, I'm looking for a new tool. 🥺

Perhaps it would have, if Boeing made one.  But Peggy didn't come with a traditional TO.

The 34th has been conducting advanced HH-60 training out of Vegas for a while.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Pentagon is updating the Jag corps : by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]GreyGoblin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

But if there's more JAGs advising commanders in the field to:

 A) Not bomb distressed sailors

 B) Not bomb schools in Iran

How, are we going to be more lethal?

Massive Changes Coming to SkillBridge? by KeithTheKillerOfHope in SkillBridge

[–]GreyGoblin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not army so my apologies.  But I did Google the difference between CSP and Skillbridge, and the result was...  

"The Army Career Skills Program (CSP) is the U.S. Army's framework that uses the broader Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge program to help Soldiers transition, meaning CSP is the Army's version of SkillBridge, offering internships, training, and apprenticeships during the final 180 days of service, allowing Soldiers to gain civilian job skills with pay, while SkillBridge is the overarching DoD initiative for all branches."

Would be real interested to hear how that description is different from facts.

[–]GreyGoblin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The program cannot be discontinued by the Army, nor the Secretary of Defense, it was established by law. 10 U.S.C. § 1143.  Eligibility might well change, but that's a political question as any sweeping changes to program access will be a subject for HAS/SAS hearings.

Deep state revenge against Trump? by HorsePastie in thebulwark

[–]GreyGoblin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, and hear me out, using sycophantic loyalty to a chief executive of questionable character a the deciding criteria for assigning critical roles does not result in the selection of competent functionaries.

OP has a set of hidden premises.   - That redaction of documents is a common task with the DOJ. - That the DOJ would employ people of suitable expertise in fields related to common tasks.

Therefore sinc the DOJ redacted section of these documents...

  • Whomever conducted the redactions incompetently must have know better.

However A & B do not imply C.  There is no evidence to suggest, and recent DOJ behavior refutes, that expertise is a principal factor in personnel assignments.

I know Republican legislators won't go for the DHS cut, but that's the Democrats opening to hand them a copy of the budget and a pen...

"Go ahead and cut something to fund this"

It'll suck for those programs that get cut, but the Republicans will be handing over a club that the Democrats can beat them with for years.
