I didn't miss your point; I just don't agree with it. The system is not Thomas Hobbes' State of Nature that just existed. The military is a system that was formed by both good and bad people. You have a good Sq/CC, but their hands are tied by the system that was created by bad commanders above them in the CoC.

Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that. I had just made MSgt in nine years when I got a random phone call from the Chief Enlisted Aviator at the Pentagon (Massengill for your gunship peeps) with the CSAF standing right next to him. The E-9 proceeded to scream at me over a Facebook comment on a USAF humor group because I said vehicle ops were stupid due to not being able to drive us out to the right jet 69% of the time when I taught at Altus. He then slammed the phone down, sent a PDF snapshot of what I said to my Sq/CC and Sq Chief, and I was later signing an LOR and a UIF I received from the Sq/CC. I almost lost my line number for MSgt, but I did lose any aspirations of making Senior or Chief. Right before I PCSd from Altus, I got divorced. I show up to Fairchild knowing I'd never make Senior or Chief, and they knew that too, so they were trying to throw me in bullshit jobs with a high probability of worthless staff deployments. I was able to argue my way into Sq Stan Eval. I started hooking up with an Airman boom operator in scheduling for a few months, then we quit, and that was that. I was deployed to the Deid and hooked up with a SrA boom operator who was also in scheduling. Then two years later, I was deployed as OGV. Some fellow SNCO ratted me out about hooking up with those girls years before to the OG Chief, who then told his boss, the OG/CC, and an unprofessional relationship investigation started on me. The girls got called into the First Sergeant's office, read their rights, and signed a statement saying they never hooked up with me. Then the SrA tells the Airman they're going to get in trouble and to go to the SARC and just say I sexually assaulted them. I was flown back from the Deid to Fairchild, grounded, fired from OGV, and left to rot in an office after losing my flight pay for almost a year while OSI tried to wiretap the SrA to record me, call my ex-wife to convince her that I used to beat her (she said that never happened and was never called as a witness), followed by OSI agents as I did mundane things like grocery shopped, had my cell phone records and email subpeonaed, etc. Eventually, OSI creates a bullshit "Report of Investigation" where the SrA didn't actually make an official statement, the Airman admits I didn't really sexually assault her, but sexually harassed her, and then I was charged with Article 120 Sexual Assault, 93 Maltreatment, and 92 Dereliction of Duty. Then six months later, I was sent to a general court-martial. The court is pretty wild where you get to sit there stone-faced in service dress while the prosecution and defense are talking you naked and having sex in front of strangers who outrank that you don't know, family, and friends. It's also 10-12-hour days of you just sitting there praying that you're not going to be a sex offender for life and a felon for crimes you know you never committed. Then one day, the panel (jury) deliberates, comes back out, and gives the verdict to the bailiff to hand to the judge. Then you stand at attention as you almost pass out from hearing the verdict of guilty or not guilty of the charges. In my case, I was acquitted of the 120, 93, and found guilty of the 92 for, in essence, having consensual sex with two subordinates. I was sentenced to a reduction to SSgt and a LOR. The legal office was irate that I didn't get a punitive discharge, so a week before I hit 16 years in the USAF, AFPC confirmed I was a "Career Airman" and could retire at 20 years as an SSgt, they sent me to an administrative discharge hearing. I was discharged with a General Under Honorable Conditions discharge at 16 years, 3 months, and 9 days. No check of the month club for me. Did the girls get in trouble for lying? Of course not, in fact, today the SrA is an SMSgt. Did I fuck up? Sure. But did I do something so egregious that it warranted getting booted at 16 years and losing everything I worked hard for? No. The retarded prior 19 AF/CC was found guilty of a lot more shit than I was in his court martial, but he's still a two-star (as of now). So yes, organizations can and will betray you. But in the civilian world, you can be a free agent and leave before it gets to that point. I was pretty bitter the year after I got out, but life worked out in a great way for me because the one thing the USAF taught me more than anything else when it was betraying me all those years via those examples was tenacity and perseverance. That has translated into successful ways multiple times in my post-USAF life.

You're not missing anything; Hegseth is a dipshit.

As someone who was court martialed, and someone else here was too, we can both tell you that you can throw out the burden of proof element in a court martial. Court martial are kangaroo courts with their own rules of evidence. It’ll be jury nullification extreme if he picked a panel of officers because they aren’t going to tank their careers by not voting guilty and pissing off Trump.

You do realize this unlocks a terrible precedent, right? When the retired ones on this board spout off their conservative viewpoints and a liberal/left POTUS and administration is in charge, they could they after them if they ever so inclined to do so. All it takes is the wrong person in charge who disagrees with you and has the authority, and backing of the federal government, to fuck your life up.

It’ll fly until they find cracks in the wing boxes like they did the C-141 and they immediately field a replacement.

I'm actually surprised that he hasn't been fired by Hegseth since he's fat. His daddy, Slife, was fired, so he's on thin ice (which is literally all ice since he's fat). However, a friend of mine who's an AOC at USAFA told me that apparently Fat Tony had two negligent discharges at the CATM range...the same day of shooting. At least he's maintaining the fact that he's still: Fat A Retard

He was found guilty of a lesser included offense of involuntary manslaughter. Looks like he got 5-15 years in prison.

Right before he's fired, if that even is a possibility, he'll resign, then get hired by a different agency, stating he's never been fired from law enforcement.

Is this the jet that had drywall screws in the wings?

Wingbox corrosion?

Try six, one country has its own.

Minus the fact the Viper has two different engine manufacturers and different models between manufacturers.

So, he has a husband?
