Dunford reinstates his senior enlisted advisor after investigation finds he violated ethics rules...

Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for sharing the good news that Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has reinstated Army Command Sgt. Maj. John W. Troxell as senior enlisted advisor to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after an investigation found he had violated ethics rules.

1. “Army Inspector General investigation that finished in late February 2019 determined that Troxell had improperly used military personnel to run his personal errands and perform other tasks not associated with their official duties and he endorsed commercial fitness and nutrition products on official social media platforms, a Joint Staff news release says."
2. "Troxell received no money or personal gain from these endorsements."

Kudos to Army Command Sgt. Maj. John W. Troxell for:
"During a 2017 visit to the troops over the holidays and under the hashtag #ISIS_SurrenderorDie, Troxell posted a video to Facebook of his pep talk to the troops.
“If they choose not to surrender, then we will kill them with extreme prejudice, whether that be through security force assistance, by dropping bombs on them, shooting them in the face, or beating them to death with our entrenching tools,” Troxell said at the time.

Senior Pentagon soldier to ISIS: Surrender or get beaten with entrenchment tool
"The Pentagon's senior enlisted member has drawn the line against ISIS: "surrender or die!" In a blunt warning to the remaining ISIS fighters, Army Command Sgt.Maj.John Wayne Troxell said the shrinking band of militants could either surrender to the U.S.military or face death.“ISIS needs to understand that the Joint Force is on orders to annihilate them,” he wrote in a forceful message on Facebook.“So they have two options, should they decide to come up against the United States, our allies and partners: surrender or die!” Troxell said the U.S.-led military coalition would provide them safety in the form of a detainee cell, food, a bed and due process if they give themselves up.“However, if they choose not to surrender, then we will kill them with extreme prejudice, whether that be through security force assistance, by dropping bombs on them, shooting them in the face, or beating them to death with our entrenching tools,” he continued.“Regardless, they cannot win, so they need to choose what it’s going to be.” The post was shared Tuesday evening along with a photo of an entrenchment tool – a collapsible shovel used by the U.S.military.It also included the hashtag #ISIS_SurrenderOrDie."

I think if I was ISIS I would be terrified of the Kurdish women fighters; they are fierce. As for entrenching tools, those work nicely. So would a spade and I could clean it off by grave digging.

Great article!
