Moments of transition

 "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. "The war we fight is not against powers and principalities; it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." - JMS

I recently explored the deconstruction model being applied to our military(1).

The abandonment of Americans, some even at the gate of the airport(2), and the adoption of a plan doomed from inception, regardless of the inevitable costs in the lives of our troops(3), clearly exposed how despicable and incompetent (for some both) our current national and military leadership is.  This was not simply stupid, there was malice.  This was no accident of fate.

There will be change.

There is righteous rage which can be used by the engineers of this deconstruction engine to forever mutate DOD into a facist/communist force of occupation in America - or - which could decant the military of the forces of 'progressivism', of which Austin and Milley are only the most visible.

Which will it be?  It's a critical effort, and necessarily one which should result in a much smaller, combat focused force, manned with Americans who embody the values of our founders.

UPDATE - same day.  Perhaps the best article I've read in the last 2 days.

"... our self-described "best" that claim to be the ruling class are not our best. They are not good at their jobs. Their ideas are garbage. Their ethics are fetid to the core. Their morality sold for a farthing's worth of power, fame, and influence."
