I agree with you 100%, but unfortunately Judge Cannon is a very real problem.She deliberately violated policy by doing email on her private server. There’s no evidence that she deliberately mishandled classified information on the private server. Someone on her staff had to have deliberately done that because the most highly classified information could have only been accessed in a very secure facility. I do think HRC should have recognized that some of that information was highly classified. The careless handling of classified information by elected and appointed civilians is appalling.
Trump is going to lose the document case yugely.I think it’s the biggest slam dunk of all his cases. It’s the one I actually care most about. We must fix mishandling of classified information by these elected and appointed bozos. Why should these idiots be given a pass on this when no military person would be given?

I think you are splitting hairs between double standard and hypocrisy.
If one personally feels something is wrong then it wrong for both parties. It still fits the definition
I've never seen/heard/read of Aloha spitting in the face of our military. Was it on this board or elsewhere.
Please show me where Aloha did this.
WTF are you talking about? The military isn't any of that. I'm guessing you have no military experience either.
Agreed. The truth is the men and women that wear the uniform now days just ain’t what they used to be. Our weapons tech has lead to a sense of complacency and undeserved arrogance that permeates throughout the entire armed forces. Aloha exemplifies it well.
A guy sitting in Utah drops munitions from a drone in the Middle East while brushing Cheeto dust off his/ her/ they collar.
Man, I'd hate to see what you think does constitute spitting in the face of the military.
Let’s just say I used to hold the military in high esteem because I believed they forged leadership skills better than any other organization.
If Aloha was truly a ship captain that entire premise is bunk.
Arrogance, sanctimony, holier than though bullshit, he is the exact opposite of a servant leader, which is my preferred leadership style.
You forgot lack of self-awareness.
"obviously unfit"
"power hungry assholes"
Wrong.
Trump and Biden are both old. I wish we had two better candidates.
But Democracy depends on voting rights. And Trump's actions show he won't tolerate anybody, anywhere, voting for the other guy. He'll break every rule he can to promote himself.
Biden wants to win too but will at least allow you to vote for Trump. Trump is inherently anti-democracy.
Anyone that doesn't admit this difference is also anti-democracy.
Trump wants to run elections like putin and his followers don't care. The latter is the scary part. Trump at some point will go away one way or another but a large percentage of voters only care about winning
Meaning that’s how you want your boss to behave or how you behave as the boss?
Cuz I doubt the latter. Seriously.
Farva is an "account executive" (i.e. glorified customer service agent). He's never had to lead or manage anything or anyone.
You just made an argument for why Biden is better than Trump. That wasn’t my point. An 81 man who struggles with knowing where he is at shouldn’t be President of the United States.
Democrats should run someone else, but the objective isn’t to have a good President. The objective is for the asshole handlers to maintain control.
It doesn’t take military experience to figure it out or have an opinion on it. Since we’re posting resumes. My Dad was in the military, have numerous friends in the military, and grew up with a bunch of poor white people….aka Trumpers. Not to mention I work with young kids.
If you want to pretend it’s not an issue, have at it. No sweat off my back. I’m not the organization struggling to fill quotas.
OK. You could have just said you have no military experience at all. I appreciate your dad’s service and we could have a drink at the VFW, but it’s irrelevant, You have no more military experience than my dad has as the father of a veteran.
Not only was I in the military for 26 years, I work closely with active duty military personnel and civilians as a private citizen.
Stop pretending that you know anything about the political preferences of the military because you don’t.
So, you know why people aren’t signing up? You might want to share those secrets with the higher ups, so they can fill quotas. Good luck.
I’ll go with what I see and hear. I had dinner tonight with a military personnel who has complained about it before. We can agree I value his opinion and not your opinion. You’re not a bright bulb.
I do, we have record low unemployment. A portion of recruitment comes from kids looking to get out of their economic situation. Several of my friends joined for that reason. Now kids are making $17/hour at McDonalds. Not great, but much better than it was. So a portion of the military's base is gone. Not a huge portion, but enough.
This article says 77% of kids fail Marine Corps entrance requirements. Our problems with kids not getting degrees and/or in poor physical condition hurts as well.
If you’re going to make this part of your argument please use participation rate. I agree obesity is part of the issue as well.
Dude, I talk to senior military officers and civilians on a regular basis. Like nearly every day. I don’t think what you think carries any weight. Stop pretending that you know anything about the military. And you are free to connect your buddy with me. Please do,
If people choose to retire early and sit out, they retire early and sit out. I don't know how that materially changes it.
Sorry. It is a real irritation when non military people talk about stuff they have no knowledge or experience about.

Military bases swung hard away from Republicans in 2020
By our calculations they moved towards Democrats by eight points, compared with a nationwide swing of just two
Goo = larval !!
How did I miss that? I had the original blocked for being painfully wrong about most topics, I guess I can filter this version as well.
Heck goat.... if they had a stupid contest the Republicans would win easily.
I agree but the opposite applies also.... those who want to lock up Trump and turn a blind eye to what HRC done are also hypocrites. I think all of them should be punished.... including Pence.
It's a lot more nuanced an issue than your Farva - level dumbass response. I don't think the Army has hit their recruiting targets for over a decade.
The Military Recruiting Crisis Is Getting Worse
At a recent House Armed Services Committee hearing, leaders from the Army, Navy, and Air Force all dutifully reported that they expected to miss their annual recruiting goal this year by thousands. This is just the latest sign that the military recruiting crisis—the worst since the institution...

Yep. Exactly as I’ve observed and said.Interesting article here:

That may be true but they are still hypocrites.
I don't understand that. I can see the logic of not supporting Trump because I don't like Trump either BUT that does not make me a democrat.
I'm hoping the shift isn't permanent and will reverse when Trump and Trumpism is purged. I voted for Biden, but I'm most definitely not a Democrat. I know there are other veterans and active-duty military in the same boat.That may be true but they are still hypocrites.

One big factor is Trump mishandling classified information so egregiously. There isn't a person in the military that wouldn't be convicted already for doing what he did - a fraction of what he did, in fact. And we'd all expect that and want it (except for the perpetrator
). This is truly the two-tiered justice thing that the Trumpsters rant about (falsely for them, by the way).F#ck off. I never said it wasn’t nuanced and even agreed with Marvin that obesity played a roll in a post.It's a lot more nuanced an issue than your Farva - level dumbass response.

However, I shouldn’t be saying obesity is an issue because I never worked in the military, right @Aloha Hoosier?

We can accept a certain level of overweight and poor fitness before boot camp or officer programs and work it off them before they graduate. When I had the NROTC unit at OSU about half of the new Midshipmen failed the first weight test and the first physical fitness test. That actually surprised me because 90 percent of the scholarship students played at least one varsity sport in high school. By the end of their first year about 100 percent were good to go for both tests. We worked them pretty hard. They do the same in boot camp.
