Funny that many of the "Veterans" on RP have lost the notion of respect and honor to the office. Quite sad that they choose to dishonor themselves in such a way. No worries, no loss to our ranks.

Fast & Furious
Benghazi
Bowe Bergdhal
IRS targeting of conservative groups
General services admin spending scandal

Clinton Foundation pay-to-play
Iranian prisoner swap
VA scandal
Lynch/Clinton meeting on tarmac
Surveillance of American citizens
Hacking of American journalists sanctioned by the WH

Funny how quick one is to say that Obama was persecuted when he and his administration created each of these. None of these were brought to a special prosecutor...things that make ya go hmmmmmmmm.

I HAVE AN IDEA, Instead of bashing the current administration why don't we stop all the PC which is a restriction of Free Speech and take the fight to these Radical Islamic terrorists! Another Terrorist attack just shows that as mad as you can be about your situation there are others who are far more effected by the current destabilization across the world. Grow up and lets get the job done!!!

No reason we can't do both.

I will never quietly allow the current administration, its leader and his hateful rhetoric to be normalized.

Perhaps some of you lack an education , or have become a part of the democratic social engineering, no one can wipe away history, and it has always been clear, except i nthose schools that have been redacted byu the democrats.
When he was running for president in 2000, Vice President Al Gore told the NAACP that his father, Senator Al Gore Sr., had lost his Senate seat because he voted for the Civil Rights Act. Uplifting story — except it’s false. Gore Sr. voted against the Civil Rights Act. He lost in 1970 in a race that focused on prayer in public schools, the Vietnam War, and the Supreme Court. Al Gore’s reframing of the relevant history is the story of the Democratic Party in microcosm. The party’s history is pockmarked with racism and terror. The Democrats were the party of slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, and that miserable terrorist excrescence, the Ku Klux Klan. Republicans were the party of Lincoln, Reconstruction, anti-lynching laws, and the civil rights acts of 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964. Were all Republicans models of rectitude on racial matters? Hardly. Were they a heck of a lot better than the Democrats? Without question. As recently as 2010, the Senate’s president pro tempore was former Ku Klux Klan Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.). Rather than acknowledge their sorry history, modern Democrats have rewritten it. The Democrats have been sedulously rewriting history for decades. You may recall that when MSNBC was commemorating the 50th anniversary of segregationist George Wallace’s “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” stunt to prevent the integration of the University of Alabama, the network identified Wallace as “R., Alabama.” The Democrats have been sedulously rewriting history for decades. Their preferred version pretends that all the Democratic racists and segregationists left their party and became Republicans starting in the 1960s. How convenient. If it were true that the South began to turn Republican due to Lyndon Johnson’s passage of the Civil Rights Act, you would expect that the Deep South, the states most associated with racism, would have been the first to move. That’s not what happened. The first southern states to trend Republican were on the periphery: North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. (George Wallace lost these voters in his 1968 bid.) The voters who first migrated to the Republican party were suburban, prosperous New South types. The more Republican the South has become, the less racist. Is it unforgivable that Bill Clinton praised a former segregationist? No. Fulbright renounced his racist past, as did Robert Byrd and Al Gore Sr. It would be immoral and unjust to misrepresent the history. What is unforgivable is the way Democrats are still using race to foment hatred. Remember what happened to Trent Lott when he uttered a few dumb words about former segregationist Strom Thurmond? He didn’t get the kind of pass Bill Clinton did when praising Fulbright. Earlier this month, Hillary Clinton told a mostly black audience that “what is happening is a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of color, poor people and young people from one end of our country to another. . . . Today Republicans are systematically and deliberately trying to stop millions of American citizens from voting.” She was presumably referring to voter-ID laws, which, by the way, 51 percent of black Americans support.

You said, "... why don't we stop all the PC which is a restriction of Free Speech and take the fight to these Radical Islamic terrorists!"

The point was made time and time and time after time, ad nauseum, that Pres. Obama would not use the phrase "radical, Islamic terrorists". That refusing to use that, specific, phrase somehow proved that he was soft on terrorism. Candidate Trump, himself, used it as a significant point when he was campaigning.

Now, barely 24 hours after a terrorist attack against an arena full of children, Pres. Trump won't even rise to the level of at least calling it a "terrorist" attack. No, to Pres. Trump, people who target teens and pre-teens - children, for pity's sake - are "losers". Like the kid in school who got picked last, or someone who walks out of the restroom with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Losing the election has led many Dems to lose their minds as well.

Well Sir, the days of old are gone, and by he way i meant no disrespect to all those continueing to carry the legacy forward. In fact, my Son in Law is a CSM now and I'm sorry, but everything the last administration did was nothing short of tearing down our time honored traditions making con sessions for those that would have otherwise been in. Like a leader, this job is not for everyone, just like you can't make a true leader out of someone that doesn't have those inherent qualities, you are raised with them and then, only then can they be developed. When a military member has the will to discuss anything negative about his, her chain of command, especially when not in any position to do so, it's completely against good order and disclipline . No different in being a 1SG, I had a few CPTs passing through and the first thing I would tell them is simple, we can go behind closed doors and say what ever we want to each other, but in front of the troops we are facing the same direction, period. I have bore witness to units where leaders did not agree and openly voiced opinions, the disclipline was lacking and the units were in complete disarray. With that, what do you suppose happens on a larger scale with this garbage? No leader in no place and under no circumstance should ever question those appointed over them, and if done should be reprimanded post haste. How well can a unit fight that is made up of folks like that? Not to damn good that's for sure, and those that are patriots will likely pay the ultimate price because someone will not be in 110%. So as a Major, I would suggest if anyone in your unit displays this type of behavior, lose them to an additional duty away from the winners, your unit will be much better for it.

SSG Ken Gouchenour, "I am also slightly disappointed in this complete cluster of not being able to repeal Obamacare, and I also can't figure out why we're not already building that wall (those were 2 of his major promises)"

The repeal of Obamacare is in the hands of Congress, not the President, but he is pushing them as hard as possible to get their ducks in a row. I think they will in the end, because failing to govern effectively will put the GOP out of power for a generation at least.

And they are currently building the wall with existing funds and getting prototypes for various designs built.
