Loss of confidence is basically code for:

Booze, $, toxic leadership, or zipper control.

So they have been hanging with Hunter and Zelensky

We have the same problem we had in 1941. Need to get rid of desk drivers and get some fighters in charge.

It is. Chick on the far right is using her middle finger as a trigger finger. Always check the hands for AI.

the North Koreans would melt like butter at the sight of that

I just hope we are past the thought process that female commanders should be allowed to wreck and destroy multi-million dollar assets while they learn OJT.

This is just the beginning of the purge that is about to occur over all the branches.

F'n AI!!!

I assume RSO & OIC? Finally get a range opportunity and a poorly trained unit who was rushed through and pencil whipped on prerequisite training shows preforms predictably?

I can't speak for the other services, but the army has evolved from a culture where you learn from your mistakes, were counciled (the good kind), were mentored, and you moved on; to an army were one mistake gets you fired. 1986 to 2014

DEI appointments and promotions don't get the best people for the jobs?

Fully agree. DEI has many flaws but a key one is no one can accurately define a fair way to impose "equity".

Now an Air Force Colonel.

Wait. Since Trump is not yet in command, is this Bidenites firing good officers to replace with "Wrays" kind of thing?

Could be doing that.......Trump could reverse that once he is sworn in......Obama got rid of a bunch of Generals during his Administration.

Reading through the whole article suggests that a lot of these are related to nuke surety and a failure to meet standards. That's one good thing to come from the nuke ferry FUBAR.

Emulating an empire that collapsed 1600 years ago? OK. The women warriors in the IDF are probably more to the point.
