Gen. CQ Brown, nominee for Joint Chiefs chairman, vows to keep politics out of military
Brown, who is nominated to replace Army Gen. Mark Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he would set a “personal example” of being apolitical and would pass on that expectation throughout the force.

I am going to get political for a few lines.

Our country seems to be going in the wrong direction. The leadership is doing things I do not agree with:

  1. The Southern border…That is a joke! Doesn’t seem to be any restraints of who can come across the border. Drugs are getting through also. Terrorist are crossing the border as well. Needs to be cleaned up.
  2. Inflation…I have heard that people aren’t buying Hygiene products now, because of the cost. That could end up being smelly.
  3. Gas prices…Sky rocketing.
  4. Interest rates… They are so high no one can afford to buy a home.

President Biden has authorized the use of Cluster Bombs for Ukraine to use. They are deadly bombs. When they hit they spread out many small bombs to kill anything near them.

Is this a right thing to do? Actually they have been used in Iraq, and Afghanistan. There is nothing illegal about them unless they are used on civilians. These will be used to hit the trenches of the Russian front.
