SFC Bernard Walko I'm not sure I would say it protects our brothers, as it is a significant reason for repeatedly exposing them to danger

So many ill-informed military people. Trump's defeat is the best thing to happen to this country in 4 years!

SSgt Kevin Hopkins - LOL, I live in base housing. I think its ok, not Park Avenue but it is good.
Despite its obvious vulnerabilities, some border agents maintain that the wall serves a useful purpose. While it won’t stop everyone, it will slow them down and give agents time to react, said Chris Cabrera, a McAllen-based Border Patrol agent and local spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council, a labor union that supported Trump. “Nine times out of ten we’re going to catch them,”

SSgt Kevin Hopkins The President? The Commander in Chief. He made a decision and you can disagree, but that does nothing to change his ability to do what he did.
Do you complain that President Biden did away with OCO funding, asked the military to leave Afghanistan, then did not even adjust the military budget for inflation. That lowered the military budget lowering consideably more than the 2-3 Billion that was eventually spent on the wall.

Whatever it is we will still be in Afghanistan. I thought if anyone was crazy enough to just pull the plug without any care who thought better it would have been Trump.
A friend of mine in the defense tech industry said he wasn't worried at all between Trump/Clinton. Their products would be used all the same, and just pointed at different people. I presume that still holds true.

Richard - and there lies the main reason we go to war - The Military-Industrial businesses. Gone are the $600 hammers; replaced by the billions of dollar aircraft, ships, and weapons systems. How do Members of Congress become so rich? Banking the corporate and fat cat contributions. Term Limits.
President Trump warts an all was a better President then H. R. Clinton; and as we share see the team of Biden/Harris will attempt to continue to destroy the constitution that we’ve all sworn to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. The next 4 years shall be a dangerous time in our history; possibly a fatal blow to our Democratic Republic.

A concerted effort to fix the mistakes of the last few years which will be obstructed at every turn by the GOP in the Senate, House and Supreme Court.

CW2 (Join to see) - and add to that equation a President that is telling is fan base that the pandemic is a democrat hoax, that they shouldn't obey the experts, running around taking no basic precautions...

SFC Michael Hasbun - I can see the taking no basic precaution from a position of power - it's a measure to show we shouldn't be as afraid that we have been (but there's also the point of being an example). The experts have gone back and forth on masks/no masks/ 6 feet or more than 6 feet. I have nothing about calling it a hoax, you got me there.
The other thing is we like to use raw numbers in this country when talking about the pandemic, turn them into percentages and we're doing way better than it looks

The question was, what can TROOPS expect. Can you elaborate on mistakes made in the past 4 years that relate to military personnel, and how a Biden presidency will endeavor to fix them?

LTC Lance Headrick
SFC Michael Hasbun - OK, so it is 5 months later. What has Biden fixed? Readiness thrown out in favor of diversity? Military focused on equity of outcome instead of meritocracy?
COVID (like TSgt said its not a military issue) we are exactly where Trump said we would be at this point. Biden is following a TF Warpspeed plan....a Trump plan.
Trump made GREAT economic agreements with China, Mexico, and Canada...were they mad....yep, who cares we are not here to pay there way.
Do you refer to the strike on MG Soleimani? He needed to die....been to Iraq? Then you should know that.

I suggest you do your own research on this, but debunked by who, the draft dodger himself? I suspect you’ll discover a couple of generals even heard him.

Sgt Terry Rizzuti - Do you even know where and when he was supposed to have said it??
Because I am fairly certain you don't --
The ceremony was 60 miles from Paris -
1. the Secret Service does not like to do impromptu changes
2. driving from Paris and back would have almost certainly not been possible given the times (timing of the ceremony and getting back)
You bitch about Trump like the dumb conservatives bitch about Harris not saluting the Airman before getting on the Plane...you have a very pathetic view point just like them....and being like those dumb conservatives you can't think for yourself and let your hatred blind you.
You cite unknown fictitious people (like the media) to justify BS....certainly Food for Thought Fiction (note keyword FICTION). Biden is just a man trying to do a job, just like Trump. You do the Military Service a disfavor by being a springbut.
Trump was scheduled to join dozens of world leaders Sunday at a ceremony in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe marking Armistice Day. He delivered remarks at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial, located five miles west of Paris, before returning to Washington.
The cancellation of Saturday’s visit drew criticism from those who say the president should have found a way to travel to Aisne-Marne regardless of the weather.
Ben Rhodes, who was deputy national security adviser for President Barack Obama, accused Trump of “blowing off honoring American servicemen who died for us” and said the White House should have had a fallback option.

We could have won, but our "wartime" president surrendered.#TrumpVirus
LTC Lance Headrick - First of all, Sir . . . Who the f*ck is Stull??? (And, trust me on this one, Sir . . . When I get "pissy" with U, U WILL KNOW IT! (They need more emojis on this goofy site . . . Insert LMFAO here!))
Sir, ya gotta stop serving me up those T-Balls for me to hit outta the park . . . Really . . . Don't like making ya look bad . . . But if U must, here we go . . .
LAME ASS COVID RESPONSE: Since U obviously can't hear the truth from a "stinkin' Dem," take a listen to what Repubs who still haven't been blinded by Trump's snake-oil pitch have to say about his impotent response . . . (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uLJkpH__os&t=31s)
Let's say I grant U, for the sake of argument, that his actions did save some lives . . . Let's be generous and say he saved 100,000 . . . What about that actions HE DIDN'T TAKE that lost us the other 400,000??? Your defense, Sir, frankly reminds me of a general who's being court martialled for how his incompetence got his division massacred by the enemy . . . "But I saved one brigade . . . Don't I get any credit for that???"
DAMN DEMOCRATS: First of all, great job of what they call "DEFLECTION," which is when U have no defense for your position, so U attack the Other's . . . It's kind of the debatorial equivalent of the schoolyard retort, "I know U are, but what am I?" . . . Just for the record, Sir, U can rail against Dems to your heart's content, and U won't have touched me, cuz I'm not anti-Repub, or pro-Dem . . . I'm pro-AMERICA . . . If the Dems had taken the white supremacist agenda into the White House, or presided over the slaughter of over 500,000 of my Brothers and Sisters, I'd be on their ass just like I'm on Trump's . . .
IMPEACHED TWICE: Sir, not sure how often U get your head out of whatever bubble U frequent, but THE REPUBLICAN LEADER IN THE SENATE (that would be McConnell, in case U haven't been paying attention) stated on the Senate floor after second impeachment, "TRUMP WAS GUILTY OF INCITING RIOT WITH HIS BIG (election fraud) LIE!" (He went on to say that only reason he didn't vote to kick Trump out of office was cuz WE already did so) . . . I'm guessing this is news to U, so, again, because I'm SUCH a nice guy, if U want me to do your homework for ya & find the link to this, just let me know . . .
WHITE NATIONALISTS: Again with the "I know U are, but what am I?" Trump loads up the White House with white nationalists, shuts down immigration from black & brown countries, steals immigrants and LEGAL ASYLUM SEEKERS' KIDS with absolutely no plan for reunification, praises white nationalist murderers at Charlottesville as being "fine people," . . . (I could go on, but hopefully U get my point), and all U have is, "Well, Farrakhan is a meany!" . . . C'mon, Sir . . . Be serious . . .
Ya gotta get those Conservative-media ear plugs out your ears, so U can hear what the majority of our Country who voted his fascist ass out of power realizes . . . By the way, Sir, how about QAnon . . . Are U down with the whole "Dems are Satanic pedophile blood drinkers & Trump is our Savior" conspiracy bullsh*t?

Most if not all of your comments just echo Liberal Media talking point and are unfounded hyperbole at worst and at best half truths. Trump did not slaughter anyone. No more than the of countries like India are slaughtering their people because they have much worse loss of life than the US and continue too. Trump was vilified for trying to stop the spread by a Travel Ban. He started Operation Warp Speed May 19 for the purpose of making a vaccine and vaccinating the nation. You LIBERAL ear plugs and BOOMING can't take away from that. If Democrats are SO good why are the predominance of COVID cases in New York and California?
You think I am not listen? You are speaking nonsense and emotional clap trap.
Too bad you can't cite truths.

LTC Lance Headrick - First of all, Sir, let me remind U to hit "Reply" or else I don't get a notification that U responded . . . Just happened to wonder why U had gone mute, so checked back . . .
So, U're saying, if U were on the General's court martial, U would vote to acquit, eh? One word for ya, Sir . . . SAD . . .
U said, I'm talking "unfounded hyperbole & half truths" . . .
Please specify which of my comments U find to be unfounded . . .
LAME COVID RESPONSE: There are all sorts of studies that show that had he acted sooner, instead of shoveling his "It's going to just magically go away" manure, lives would have been saved . . . Again, because I'm such a nice guy, I can send U those links, if U are too . . . Busy . . .
IMPEACHED TWICE: This is an historical FACT . . . It is also an historical FACT that McConnell stood there on the Senate floor and said that Trump's BIG ASS ELECTION FRAUD LIE incited the Insurrection . . . Again, if U were sleeping through any of this history, let me know and I'll send U links . . . (U can thank me later) . . .
WHITE NATIONALISTS: Sir, this is one of the most well documented bits of our deplorable history over the last four years . . . If I haven't already, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND U read "HATEMONGER: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda" which details Trump's allegiance to the white supremacists' ideals . . . Hell, Sir, message me your address and I'll buy U a copy . . . Again, U can thank me later . . .
So, I know it's hard to admit "I was wrong, U were right, I give up, U got me" . . . But it is a sign of psychological maturity when, in the face of overwhelming evidence of the erroneousness of one's position, one can do so . . . Whatdya think, Sir, Got Maturity?

Nothing, you’ll have the same pay and benefits. The difference is you’ll have a new commander in chief that has never called any service member a “sucker and loser.”
