Nope, I know dissenting opinions aren’t popular in echo chambers, sorry.

Cool and the voters disagreed with you.
“Hypocritical”
Not even a little bit, since there’s no requirement for fitness for the CiC. FDR won WWII in a wheelchair, it’s literally irrelevant.
Yep, in the military, CiC does not count and never has. FDR with his hot wheels?
Cool, that first part was just an insult.
“Fill out”
Actually, recruiting has surged since the election.
Turns out the kind of folks who are willing to join the military want to join the military, not a fat camp.
And yes, we’ve been begging to get back to real standards for years.
“Gotcha”
Nope, just wanted to make sure we agree that the folks talking about Trump needing to be in good physical shape as CiC are silly.
“Mental”
Sure but that’s not a military standard. Theres no mental PT test.
“Leading by example”
That’s in the military, like how Milley should have. Civilian leadership physical fitness doesn’t matter.
“NG”
And if they fall out of those standards, or can’t meet the current standards, can be kicked out.
We all know this, it’s not new and it’s entirely appropriate. If anything, this is long overdue.
Removed by mod
“Do need to be fit”
So FDR was fit in his wheelchair when he won WWII?
Seriously, military leadership and civilian are wildly different.
“Optics”
It’s standards and discipline, not optics. Can’t meet the standard, tough shit.
Are you stuck in an loop?
So you’re just conceding that you have no argument.
Ok, deal.
Yeah, still not an argument.
Again, they are two different missions and I can’t believe you don’t know that.
Nope, military and immigration enforcement.
The idea that the CiC needs to be physically fit to do the job.
“Press are not military personnel”
Correct and I’ve never said otherwise.
Nope, I literally was consistent from the start, you just didn’t understand my argument.
Military personnel arr expected, and obligated by law, to not “leak shit”.
There’s nothing about this order that’s crazy. Pretty common sense shit.
I didn’t make a point about security clearances regarding the press?
I was referencing security clearances for military personnel.
Security clearances aren’t a joke, you can go break big rocks into little rocks at Leavenworth for violating what you agreed to.
“I don’t understand your point”
Then re-read my comment. I didn’t say the reporter needed a security clearance.
Yep, two completely different missions.
You mean civilian leadership vs military leadership?
FDR won WWII from a wheelchair, your comment makes no sense.
Washington Post and a few others as well, yes.
I’m also struggling to see the issue:
“News organizations pushed back, and the policy was revised last week to say that members of the media were not required to submit their writings, but that U.S. military personnel could face “adverse consequences” if they make unauthorized disclosures to reporters. Reporters could then be viewed as security risks and have their access revoked“
The military is covered under UCMJ and yes, you CAN get in trouble for leaking information. That’s literally part of the reason you have a security clearance, because you are saying you’re trustworthy enough to not leak shit.
You’re hoping for a military coup?
Sorry to tell you but the military, particularly combat arms, are more conservative than not. And they usually have opinions that you’d label “Nazi”.
