The ONLY thing that SECWAR Hegseth left out of his speech to the FOGOs was this: "Always remember that higher headquarters ONLY exists to make its subordinate units SUCCESSFUL!!!" I lived by that creed my entire military career and I brought everyone under my command home alive and in one piece throughout eighteen deployments. The problem we have is that Demoncrats love to have the power so they can strut around as the elitists, and way too many FOGOs have been infected by this mentality! They call it military SERVICE for a reason! You are there to SERVE others!

Make all of them live by the same rules as their subordinates, then start on getting congress to live by the rules they impose on the rest of us.
Yup......walk away your service should be to the country not your feelings!
