THE PENTAGON'S EPIC DISCIPLINARY FAILURES

    The Election of 2020 is now less than one year away; and the Democrats are still trying to steal the 2016 Election. Hopefully, President Trump is preparing his priorities for his second term. One priority needs to be overhauling the Pentagon. Trump inherited a Military that his last three predecessors turned into a fetid Beltway Swamp. The RINO, James Mattis, did little or nothing to reform the system. 

   This week alone, there were three incidents at domestic military bases where people were killed. This is on top of the daily military mayhem: the drug abuse; and the homicides;  and the suicides; the rapes---both heterosexual and the 'non-violent, harmless' homosexual variety;  the gangsterism; the scams; and the corruption. And, the same week, three Guardsmen were killed in a helicopter crash; nine sailors were injured when a Coast Guard ship and a Navy ship collided; Marines set fire to the Okinawan countryside with flares during a routine training session; and an F-16 was lost when the pilot panicked and baled out during a patrol. Except for the three on-base attacks; this was very much an average week in today's oh-so-Politically-Correct military social milieu. 

   An interesting thing about all three bases attacks was that our brave men and women in uniform ended up having to be rescued by the local police. The first incident happened in Virginia at Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Some dirtbag drove wildly onto the base and killed a military policeman. WHSV-3 reported as follows:

 "Nathaniel Lee Campbell has been charged in the death of 23-year-old Petty Officer 3rd Class Oscar Jesus Temores. Virginia Beach police said Campbell was driving a 2004 Chevrolet pickup north along Atlantic Avenue on Saturday when, as he approached Gate 8 of the JEB Little Creek - Fort Story base, he traveled into the oncoming traffic lane and drove onto the base at a high rate of speed. Police said gate security forces notified their units of a vehicle that passed the gate on the wrong side of the road, and security responded to the scene with emergency equipment activated. Near the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Leyte Street, police said Campbell struck a Navy patrol car Temores was driving. Both drivers were taken to a local hospital, where Temores died of his injuries."

  We follow the news from the Middle East a lot; and attacks like these happen occasionally at UN Relief Centers. Those attacks rarely result in casualties however; because the Russian and Iranian troops guarding these bases stop charging vehicles with machine-guns and grenades. Apparently, our Snowflake Military's protocols are to go on lockdown and call the Virginia City Police. And they wonder why people get killed? 

  Our Politically-Correct modern military abhors violence, and has recently taken up the issue of gun violence. The US Naval Academy's football team---already under criticism because their Midshipmen team name is considered 'gender insensitive'---recently was forced to drop its motto 'Load the Clip' in deference to complaints from Gun Control activists. And this is working as well as other 'gun-free zone' type policies, as seen last week in Pearl Harbor.

  Gabriel Romero, a sailor on the submarine USS Columbia, was apparently armed and standing guard-duty while the sub was dry-docked for maintenance. In less than a minute, Romero suddenly snapped and gunned down three civilians before committing suicide. 



  Hawaiian State Police arrived to save the Pacific Fleet. According to Hawaii News Now, it turns out that Romero was in 'Anger Management' training and was scheduled for an unspecified disciplinary hearing. The Medical Examiner noted that Romero's hands were bruised; the Navy confirmed that Romero had recently punched some lockers during an outburst of rage. So, what idiot thought that giving this guy weapons was a good idea? Romero shouldn't have been on Submarine Duty at all, let alone walking around with a service rifle. 

  But in today's PC, we mustn't discriminate against mental illness. This shocking report from Very Well Mind gives us some insight:
  "While currently having certain mental health conditions or having a history of a serious mental disorder technically prohibits a person from being in the military, research data suggests that many are skirting the rules.
  "A major study published in 2014 in JAMA Psychiatry found that some 25% of non-deployed U.S. military members had some sort of mental disorder, including panic disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression, and two-thirds of these had their conditions prior to enlisting.
  "The study also found that more than 11% of U.S. military enlistees had more than one disorder. Interestingly, the intermittent explosive disorder was the most common condition found, affecting approximately 8% of the enlistees.
  "How are people getting around the rules? It's not entirely clear, but people find ways to circumvent the regulations, most in the vein of, 'Don't ask, don't tell.'"
  Intermittent Explosive Disorder is the trendy terminology for what used to be called Passive-Aggressive Neurosis. This study shows what kind of recruiting standards we had under Obama; but unfortunately it hasn't changed under Trump. In 2017, RINO Mattis ordered the 2009 Army ban on mental illness waivers revoked; it's gotten so bad that the Military is actually embedding mental healthcare workers among soldiers and sailors.  
  And finally this week, we saw a mass-shooting at Pensacola. A Saudi national who'd been training with US forces went on a shooting rampage. The base went on lockdown and someone called 9-1-1. Our brave heroes were rescued by the Escambia County Sheriff's Department, who sent the gunman to Tartarus during a brief shootout. The FBI has since discovered that the shooter had been posting anti-American propaganda all over social media recently. Given the character of today's military's personnel, the Base Commanders probably didn't see anything out of the ordinary in any of that.
   Florida Senator Rick Scott told News4Jax that it is "clear that we need to take steps to ensure that any and all foreign nationals are scrutinized and vetted extensively before being embedded with our American men and women in uniform.'' Well, no kidding. You mean that nobody thought of that before?
   And another question is: where is military security? Base Commander Capt. Tim Kinsella told the Corporate Media that "Weapons are not allowed on the base," and, in response to a question about how many foreign nationals were on base, Kinsella replied that he didn't know. 
   Now common sense should tell anybody that if three lone nutcases can attack military bases; then we have a real security problem. Understand that these bases have been rendered defenseless by decades of PC policy. If lone shooters can penetrate a military base and kill people, imagine what kind of damage a well-trained and well-armed foreign Commando Team could do during an actual war.  
   President Reagan was able to take a demoralized military and turn it into the world's best military during the 1980s. But he did this by confronting the problems and taking decisive actions. Three decades of Clintons, Bushmen, and Obamunists have squandered that entire legacy. Trump is admirer of Reagan's and needs to follow the same decisive approach.

  1. Oh, I cannot abide, "intermittent explosive disorder." We've had a few cases of basically drug fueled rage tantrums. Things like a guy smashed out a plate glass window with his head. Naturally he got off the charges on account of the fact he has a mental health problem, "explosive disorder."

    I think as a whole culture we need to get a handle on defining mental illness, and stop glorifying it as if every single person suffers from mental illness. I understand why the military might overlook all these disorders, absolutely everybody these days claims to have one! That's a spiritual problem, cultural, societal.
