government and this includes the brass hats in the Pentagroin.
First of all, if you’ve never read the outstanding book, “About Face,” by Colonel Hackworth, do so ASAP. Colonel Hackworth’s career can stand up to anyone’s and he was a true American hero and of course, BECAUSE he spoke out about the Perfumed Princes (PP) (the ones who care about being PC and who look out for themselves and their next promotion) and now Perfumed Princesses (PP), who were destroying the US Army he’d served in since 1946, he was shunned and later forced to retire. Sounds all too familiar.
Second, and this is mainly directed towards the Army and the Air Force, the brass hats there today are pussies (figuratively and literally) who tuck tail and run whenever possible and who are so PC, it is nauseating. There are some real warriors in both branches but they are squelched by the REMFs and PP’s. We in the Corps and the old Army called a forced march a hump, in Iraq, the Gunny referred to a wicked hump he once endured (22 miles) and an Air Force Major almost wet her panties over the word “hump” as in, “that was a wicked damn hump.” They use, “ruck march.” How sweet.
EXCERPT: “Former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette is going to tell his version of events surrounding the death of Osama bin Laden, even if the Pentagon sues him for every last penny.
Last night, the Defense Department’s top attorney wrote a letter to Bissonnette threatening to use “all remedies legally available” against him for the publication of No Easy Day, his firsthand account of the mission to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. “You are in material breach and violation of the nondisclosure agreements you signed,” wrote Pentagon general counsel Jeh Charles Johnson. The letter hinted at a criminal prosecution of Bissonnete for disclosing classified information and threatened to seize the royalties from his book and go after his publisher Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group. In a written response, a lawyer representing Bissonnette denied his client breached his nondisclosure agreement in a letter to the Pentagon.”
You see folks, it is OKAY for the Obama Cartel members to release classified information to the Richard Weed’s in Hollyweird so that they can make a movie about how Dumbo flapped into Pakistan and bored OBL to death with a speech laden with venomous er’s, um’s, ah, duhs, I’s, me’s, oh’s, hmm’s, etc, etc. HOWEVER, when a warrior, pissed off at the lies and bullshit and half-truths coming out of the Obama Cartel AND the Pentagroin as well (who fall all over themselves to kiss Barry’s ass) outs them, they threaten him with legal action. This smells like the droppings of a pathetic fat fuck named Leon Panetta, who, with ZERO experience ran the CIA and then with ZERO experience, moved over to the Pentagroin, to leave his liberal droppings there.
It is sad and a really shitty comment on the pussies at the Pentagroin who rolled over first for BJ Bubba’s ”Don’t ask, Don’t Tell,” then bent over for the USS Yellow Submarine aka the Little Miss Jimmy Carter, then General Casey’s pussy-ass ramblings about Muslims after Major Hasan (Obama’s buddy) MURDERED Army troops (while screaming Allah Akbar), hey Casey, give the Gunny five minutes with Hasan and he’ll shave that dirtbag’s beard off, with a weed whacker, and finally, they took it up the tailpipe allowing homos to serve openly, in a complete and total slap in the face of morality, discipline, unit cohesion, and simple decency. Instead of retiring en masse to protest, these gutless bastards simply hunker down, kiss ass, and wait to retire to become a member of some Board of Directors, and continue to feather their nests. It is even worse when a family like the Gunny’s, who have served for four straight generations and three wars, tells his son, four years and OUT! Screw a career.
Consider this. ABSCAM Murtha and Hanoi John Fonda Kerry (among others) John Kerry made their political careers spewing bullshit about their service and the Left could care less. Is the real fear behind this book the fact that Dumbo will look worse than he already does (chasing Romney around the Gulf Coast after Issac) or that REMFs and PPs in the Pentagroin will look bad? Dollars to donuts it is the latter. The FIRST lesson in leadership the Gunny learned was at Parris Island, as a squad leader, to take care of his men FIRST but that seems to be the first thing the brass assholes in the Pentagroin FORGOT! The leadership of the US military is nothing but a “go along to get along” group and hopefully President Romney fires the whole shitpot full of them right AFTER he fires every damn Democrud he can in DC (or they’ll do him like they did Bush 43).
One more point needs to be made on this issue. Dumbo appointed the General Counsel for DoD, probably on that lardass Panetta’s advice, so he is just another stooge covering for his master. This book outs Dumbo and the many lies of the Obama Cartel concerning this matter and THAT is the ONLY only reason the shit is hitting the fan.
If they create a defense fund for Mr.Bissonnette, count on the Gunny chucking a C note or two at it.
Great stuff, Gunny. You tell it exactly how we feel. (Less a little of the Marine Corp. language.)
C’mon, Gunny. Quit holding back. Tell me how you REALLY feel.
I read Hackworth’s book a couple of decades ago when it first came out. Excellent read.
Brother, I reread it a few days ago and it is still timely and dead on the money. In fact, more so than when he wrote it.
The SEAL did F up, because he has repeatedly signed documents about releasing information without running it through the Pentagon. I doubt any of the people in this Administration ever signed such documents. If they did, it was by electronic pen, which is not valid.
Craw,
Good point and I think you’re talking about the SF 312, which is for life. HOWEVER, divulging secrets, whether you sign a 312 or not, is still treason and DUmbo’s Admin is just as guilty. You are right, it should have been vetted by the Pentagroin but we both know they’d have squashed it. Bissonnette likely took one of the team for the good of the nation, to expose the scumbaggery in the WH and Pentagroin.
I’ll wager none of SEAL Bissonette’s writings endangered any of his brothers in arms.
Gunny,
Excellent article and gives me answers to many questions regarding the PPs. If these guys had any sense of taking their oath to the CONSTITUTION and NOT to the shithead in the oval office, maybe this country would not have suffered the way it has over Jug Ears.
I saw the bit about prosecuting Bissionette and wondered if the Pentagon can really do what they say. Can they? The man is not in uniform any longer. I can’t wait to get this book which I hear is coming out over labor day instead of 9/11.
My brother was a Marine and also served some time at Paris Island after returning from Vietnam. He also is dismayed at the PC bullshit that goes on now as do I.
Retirees are still liable under the UCMJ because we are still drawing pay, called a “retainer.” Even though I recently received my 30 year, thanks for your service letter, I COULD be dragged by to active duty to face a courts-martial for something like treason, etc., although doubtful. Officers are really under the gun as they are “in for life” and can be recalled to active duty until I believe 65, maybe older.
This whole situation is a LOSE-LOSE for Obama. HIS admin is full of leaks and he and the Pentagroin are gonna go after this SEAL for leaking info? Good God, Dumbo allowed Hollyweird dirtbags to REVIEW TS material for that movie and that is STRICTLY illegal because they did NOT have a TS Clearance NOR did they have a “need-to-know.”
The whole PC bullshit is designed to weaken and cripple the military. Hell, I saw it when General Mundy said something DEAD ON and the Clinton Regime went ape.
Gunny,
It’s a real shame what this odious Dumbo is doing to our military. I hate to see this happen.
And thanks for your answer about the Navy Seal and if he can be prosecuted. Makes me mad though considering like you said Obama gave into to the hollyweird crowd.
