Backstabbing people that have been very loyal is not only restricted to politics. It is in all walks of life and sad to say in our military where the people that served are putting their life on their line to protect the American people and are not supported by the HIGHER-UPS.
Years after a sloppy Army investigation slapped soldiers with false criminal records and derailed his career, the officer who led the fight to clear service members’ names has finally received his previously denied promotion.
When there was honor among thieves the rule of thumb used to be, take care of who takes care of you. That is not the case anymore, the ground rules are today, hurray for me and fuck you.
Many people have short memories as to what sacrifices some people have given to stay loyal to an organization only to get dumped on when the heat is turned up in the kitchen. Instead of investigating thoroughly and fairly, they put the hammer on the accused without proper research/investigation, consequently in many cases ruining the person’s life, as was the case with Captain De Leon.
De Leon was among close to 2,000 soldiers slapped with a false arrest record due to participating in a National Guard recruiting program known as G-RAP, which ended in 2012 amid accusations of fraud and mismanagement. Under pressure from Congress, the Army launched Task Force Raptor to investigate all 106,364 people paid by G-RAP and its Army Reserve counterpart.
The military is no different than the ambulance chasers in civilian life. The Prosecutors all want to make a name for themselves.
The military used to be a hell of an organization and probably still is in some sectors. But in recent years I have noticed that the officers would control the decision-making have capitulated/bent-over to the will of the civilian authorities.
In my opinion, any civilian authorities should not have any say so or control in military operations. The stumblebumps can not handle what they’re doing now let alone getting into unfamiliar territory just to make a reputation for themselves. And that they are; (BAD).
Not only should the captain, now a major, and his comrades receive back pay and promotions, but the government should also award each one of them a couple $1,000,000 for their embarrassment.
This is the way the new/modern military rewards loyalty. WAFJ!!!!!!!!!
Another point that I would like to make I have said repeatedly. I do not think any person shall be eligible to run for president of the United States without prior military experience. How in the fuck can anyone be the commander-in-chief when you were never so much as a PFC, not knowing the difference between a rifle and their pecker.
Bring back old memories and a tear to my eye.
