To show that I have credibility with ADM McRaven, let it be known that I make my bed every morning. But!!

The 1st amendment was specifically meant so that we could publicly question our institutions and the 2d amendment was to allow us to protect ourselves against those same institutions when they attempt to encroach on our liberties.

I can list the many policies of Biden that I disagree with and why, without ever once discussing any personal dislike I have of the man. Never once did McRaven discuss policies or the broader implications of the Lawfare being conducted. Just his dislike of President Trump.

Don’t go after our institutions, is not a policy position that is acceptable in our Republic.

Another sad example of a politicized Military leadership that is deeply disturbing.

I'm so damned tired of being told by elitists like McRaven that if I don't conform, if I express any criticism of the government then I'm disloyal or I'm an insurrectionist.

When I was younger I traveled several times to the USSR (during the Brezhnev era). One of the things that really struck me was the sense of repressive conformity that existed there. No criticism of the State was tolerated and the place was rife with mediocrity. Is that where we're headed in this Country? It certainly seems like it.

The McRavens of this Country run everything and they resent us common folk not tugging at our forelocks and deferring to the wisdom of our superiors. A result of the American Revolution was the overthrow of a colonial political system dominated by class, patronage, and nepotism.

Apparently, it's un-American to notice we're headed back that way again.
