    Nah, it had the usual info and the "BANNED" banner under the username, and it doesn't now. Seems like sometimes the software doesn't just ban, it bans the shit out of 'em. Maybe Vaquero clicked the ban button extra hard.

    I dunno, he does kinda sound like a lot of the top brass that doesn't think civilians should have have guns. Mix in a little vodak and early stage dementia, and he could be any random O7 or above.

    Even then, they usually have enough self respect not to speak entirely in talking points written by someone else. And this dipsit was world-for-word.

    or he offered the services he usually reserves for obese trannies to someone with the ability to unban him and they accepted.
    No. Sheesh, no.
    Might be in the process of memory holing him,
    Possibly but that would just be a side effect of a higher-level admin completely dumping the account. It's nothing nefarious, just a side effect of the way his account was deactivated subsequent to the ban.

    Can we unban him? I really wanted to see what he was going to say next. I also figured out who he was. He claimed 34 year officer, let’s assume colonel. One recently retired that probably spouted similar gibberish.

    I'm not impressed by your far-right sound bites. The phrase "commie-liberal" is quite telling. "My people" are the American people who honor our Constitution and do not attack our Congress in an attempt to overthrow the election. You obviously are deaf and blind, to have missed the videos of Trump sitting for 187 minutes watching television as his Proud Boy and oath Keeper trash assaulted the Capital police with clubs, pepper spray, and even had bombs hidden on the perimeter. I had better Soldiers than you cleaning the latrines. I'm not looking for conversation with far-right radicals too stupid to understand the difference between democracy and fascism.

    To swing this discussion back to my original post General Burger wrote in part;

    "And while specialized skills are important, I wholeheartedly believe that the personal characteristics and qualities developed during military service — leadership, self-discipline, perseverance — are even more relevant to a young person’s future success as a college student, employee or career military professional."

    That alone is the most important result to me of successful military service be it one tour or a career. The qualities developed in service to our country carry on well after one gets their DD214.

    BTW: did you know according to..."U.S. Dept. of Defense show that less than a quarter of Americans of prime recruiting age are eligible to serve in the military. The most recent data indicates that only 23-percent of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 would meet the necessary qualifications to enlist.

    Not a whole lot of potential warriors to stand on the ramparts to protect our country.

    Most Americans of all ages are too fûcking fat and exceed the height/weight maximums.

    Not me. Not sure I can carry a 70# pack more than a few feet. Can I use my cane? When you lower the requirements to the 'new' standards, not much of a military left.
