How is this not politics?

Oh, it is politics.
But he's special, and this is Ultramodern Warfare, and he always gets a pass here.
Disagree, and you end up in the DH. Like I did 3 times last month.

But don't worry. Like Winston Smith and Rubashov, I just wave and smile now.

Political or not, that is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

Testicular fortitude rarely appears in policy memos, yet outcomes depend on it: Leaders who hesitate invite constant testing, while those who act reset expectations.

My partner just caught me eyeing myself up in the mirror whilst practicing my wide-stance hip-forward groin-pointing pose.

Can't you see that I'm drafting a memo?

Well, it was the Marines, which I suppose makes it a military operation.

…this is Ultramodern Warfare, and he always gets a pass here.

I think he's been DHd as much as you have, John.

It is a click bait article for the right.

It is politics and should be on the Blue Fez( if it still running)

Also while I have not read all of OFM's posts, he has been nothing but polite or factual in those that I have read.

It is a military operation to go pick up the dry cleaning. Just how many man hours were wasted in this petty show?

In my minds eye the flag retreaval looked something like this:

As I was afraid, the whole point of the operation went over your heads. Hint: It was about the flag, not politics. If you still don't get it, ask a vet.
