It is impossible for me to tell why this is hard to write, there is no context. I am new to the thread (not even really new, I never joined as far as I know, I am dying from info overload) but when i look at what is sent and cannot make heads or tails, I am reminded why I check out of almost everything social media.
There is a difference between commanding and leading. Commanders know how to command men, Leaders will die for their men. The difference maybe subtle but the lowest of ranking man knows a leader because he would die for him.
One wonderful aspect of 'Resignations en masse' would be the ability to replace those enemy agents no longer of value to The U.S. Constitutional Republic. Do we have enough support behind these men, given they're honorable PATRIOTS, to build an Officer's Force sufficient to our role in the World Body Politic?
I remember this post you wrote on Locals from back then and I had that same feeling of respect and awe for Kurilla (and you) and the "damn it" feeling same as I did then when I read the jab part. So happy to see that buffoon Austin and his clown sidekick Milley removed. That photo of Austin with his visor on during parade review is scorched into my brain somehow and epitomizes to me that whole Biden era. How did we survive it? Much to overcome still and always a little wary of President Trump as usual but I have to say he's really cleaning house.
Excellent news!!! We need warfighters and patriots, but, yes, the jab and Covid were behind the greatest genocide the history of the world. More deaths than WW I and WW II combined. No jab pushers in high level command positions.
I also have the highest respect for General Flynn. MAGA and thank God for President Trump.
"The justifying cause of war, and clear and intelligible war aims, ought to be explained to the people by an experienced leader. Unless there is a definite war aim to which the people can consciously pledge themselves, the unity and strength of conviction that lead to victory will not be forthcoming. But the leader must also look to it that the passion of war and the delirium of victory do not give rise to unjust acts that will not meet with general approval. If justice and perseverance are the basis of action, all goes well." the I Ching
Then again, it's possible some were merely waiting out the horrors of the jabs...To stay in power, covertly, to rebuild. It's possible if not probable.
Not quite clear here - is Michael celebrating that Kurilla was passed over, or decrying it? Any comment on the actual pick: Dan Caine? Posting a 2023 article that both praises and condemns Kurilla confuses me; maybe obvious to others?
Are the questions we ask more effective than any answers we may tender? Does an answer stifle progress where a question may supply an answer while provoking the next question? Is Kurilla a demonically empowered pawn? Cui Bono?
Hard to argue with that. But also hard to argue in favor of empowering military leaders who disobey direct orders. If you're a staff officer, it is your responsibility to voice your opinion, and question invalid policy; however, once orders issue, the time for questions is over - unless you are on really solid legal ground for disobedience.
I think most Americans know someone who suffered for taking the jab. We need to remember who is really at fault (Fauci, Birx and other corrupt government health officials) - and be careful about forever condemning those who were their victims (including those who "pushed" the jab in reliance on the real evil-doers).
I don't give Trump, or anyone else, a pass for pushing the jab. On the other hand, I look at the other things he and other have done, and recognize the exigencies of the moment. Trump invoked a two-week lockdown (a mistake in hindsight), but never more. He recommended the jab, but never made it a mandate. He allowed others to impose mandates (particularly, in the military), but is now empowering his Team to do their best to atone; military personnel who separated due to a mandate are being vigorously encouraged to return with full restoration of back-pay, rank, etc. On balance, Trump's mistakes are vastly outweighed by the benefits he has brought to America. There aren't many who have done better; don't know about you, but that includes me (and I did not get the jab).

THANKS MICHAEL, FOR ALL YOU DO
It is weird when leaders lead & protect their men, then to keep their promotion throw their men to the wolves.
There is a difference between commanding and leading. Commanders know how to command men, Leaders will die for their men. The difference maybe subtle but the lowest of ranking man knows a leader because he would die for him.

I will have to be very thoughtful about this.
Like you, I've been disappointed in the subsequent "career" behavior of men I once admired.
If we couldn't (didn't) have "resignations en masse" then; we need to have dismissals en masse NOW.

Any quick thoughts on Caine? Hegseth?
Highest respect and deepest gratitude for who you choose to show up as in these times, M. Yon.

Is Caine pro or con jab?

I remember your coverage of Kurilla during the Iraq War. "He coulda been a contender", but seriously a substantial guy with big achievements
Kurilla is commander of Centcom, so the article already lost credibility in the title
Chris -- of course most people realize Erik is CENTCOM commander. And was being considered for Chairman of Join Chiefs.
No jab-pusher should be in a position of responsibility: https://michaelyon.substack.com/p/the-hardest-post-i-have-had-to-write

I'm really confused also...the "hardest post I ever had to write" wasn't written very well
