61. What this told me

My take on this is that the current leadership in the military hasn't learned a damn thing from that exercise. They are every bit as inept as Kegsbreath. Plus, they have no more spine than any Republican since they have not halted any of the clearly illegal actions they are involved in.

We will need to educate an entire new upper level of leadership in our military that can:
1. Think outside the box
2. Value the Constitution
3. Knows the Rules of War
