Veterans Day Reading

I think this Rear Admiral's career is dead in the water. He essentially tried to undermine Trump. The Navy SEAL that Trump reinstated had submitted his retirement papers. Still, the Rear Admiral wanted to kick him out of the SEALs and even rescind his authorization to wear the SEAL qualification badge - the Trident (retirees can continue to wear their uniforms for approved occasions). The Rear Admiral was retaliating against the SEAL and thumbing his nose at Trump.

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump kicked the Admiral in the Rear and out of the SEALs. Nor would it surprise me if Trump revoked the Admiral's Trident like he's revoked security clearances for others. Trump might just do that even if the Admiral quits (retires), in protest, to make an example out of him to other kings.

This all just feels so Central America to me.

Maybe it's because I drove a fair piece of ~~Trumpistan~~ red PA over the weekend, but I don't see us sorting this out in a couple election cycles. The whole conflict while triggered by economics really is based in culture. I'm still seeing right wing Clinton / Obama commentary in my Facebook feed and Hillary supporters seem to keep trying to pull her out from under her rock. Any chance we we could just move on?

It won't change until someone can profit from change.
