In the military, if you don’t make promotion lists at certain junctures in your career, you’re done. Whether or not you make said list depends on your boss’s completely subjective assessment of your performance. My boss was a toxic diversity hire and I knew from the day he took command that it was going to be a rough time for the unit so getting a pair of negative evals from him was kind of like having Paul Ryan tell you that you’re a failure.
I thought I’d be more angry or sad or something but truth be told I’m mostly just relieved. I didn’t want to fight for this new president or this congress and I don’t want to watch the organization I’ve devoted tens of thousands of hours of my life to slowly fall apart over the next decade and now I won’t have to.
So I guess I’ll just take my four deployments worth of combat experience, go back home, play with my kids and wait... for something.
I cringe at the thought of being a military person with Biden as Commander & Chief. Back to fighting useless wars to keep the defense contractors flush with tax payer money and for politicians to get their kickbacks.
Don't worry, it will be Kamala before too long. I give it a few months.
Blech! From the fry pan into the fire. Heels-up Harris will be harder to control than Brain-dead, Beijing Biden. There is no honor in serving an incompetent, corrupt and fraudulent Commander & Chief.
