I have no problem with them being partisan after they retire. I have a problem with them wanting politics over making sure the military is ready and able to fight. Pronouns and CRT talks have no kill radius or blast effect, just a 'laugh at us' effect.

The next real war like Vietnam I predict we will lost at least 20% of our force to mental health, maybe higher. People have grown to see the military as a regular job with college benefits and not the hell that war grows to. My middle schooler is more advanced than some of the males today twice his age because I believe in raising children capable to survive in an ugly world by 18.

Once they're retired they can say what they want. If the president or Congress are violating the law like what's happening now with the open borders, with not Prosecuting people picketing in front of Supreme Court Justices which is a felony in itself, I disagree.

100% Agree. And to cavoite on that, even on Active Duty, service members can participate in political activities including protests and rallies. Just not in uniform. So I am a bit unclear on what Maj Granger is against on the very thing that we all raise our right hand to Support and Defend.

They must remain apolitical while on active duty, but once they retire there is absolutely no reason they should stay out of politics. Heck we even elected one president.
