The Joint Chiefs of Staff are only a panel of high-ranking U.S. military officers who advise the president of the United States and other civilian leaders on military issues. As an advisory body, the Joint Chiefs of Staff DO NOT LEAD COMBAT FORCES AND HAVE NO EXECUTIVE OR COMMAND AUTHORITY OVER TROOPS IN THEIR SERVICES. iow, military pundits. or military lobbyists.

I don't it's posturing -- but it may not be what it appears to be on face value. I'm not up for watching an hour long video, but if the video says kinda sorta what I just did, then, well, hmmm.

The active duty military cannot get involved in political fights -- that's just the truth, and I hope they remember it. They're job is to protect the Constitution, the Republic, and the people -- and I sincerely hope they remember that too; no matter what happens. If that's an unpopular opinion, well, of well.

Trump was right when he said the troops love him, the leadership not so much.

The grifters at the Pentagon have done nothing to defend us. They let invaders flood through our borders and Communist enemies of the Constitution run our government. They are cowards who start wars half way around the globe to weaken our military and line the pockets of conmen. Anyone who relies on them is a complete fool.

Fake and gay, part of a demoralizing campaign against us. Keep the faith in Jesus hold the line hold fast and repent. Keep in your heart what you know to be true.
