T... K... O... @shashj I want America to have the strongest military in the world. And to be clear... I'm the OG for rage posting. We should all be given grace to delete things we want to take back. Welcome to America friend.

We don't want a "commitment to jointness," we want to identify fighting ability within the joint force. It's different cause you can be committed and suck. And you can appear apathetic or obtuse, but turn out to be brilliant when put on the "X." It comes down to performance and merit. But to help you out, JPME II, taught at the War Colleges, where you were a "department chair," does have a CJCSI defining the expectation of a joint qualified officer. This instruction is where all joint learning outcomes are derived.

“When you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is. They care whether the pilot is qualified. Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory.” 🔥🔥 @WesleyHuntTX Needs to be a Secretary in the administration February ‘27 or later.

Great to see @SecNav Hung Cao in Normandy for the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day to honor American and Allied forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🙏 🇺🇸

Gilbert Scheller. My grandfather. Landed at Normandy. He visited in his 80s and got a standing ovation at the Normandy museum. Lest we not forget. D Day 🫡🇺🇸

June 6, 1944

He brought his children to Normandy — at his own expense — to honor the fallen of the Greatest Generation. Americans who gave everything to defeat tyranny & save the world. Every parent should teach their kids what real sacrifice & courage look like. That’s how we keep freedom alive. Proud to serve alongside a Secretary of War who leads by example, on & off the battlefield.

🧵 THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa? He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media. The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations: "They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law." That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" — while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department. And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath. I have the receipts. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

America’s warriors are the greatest asset we have—that’s why we are establishing the Project Patriot Pipeline. This initiative creates new strategic partnerships focused on the skilled trades and bringing America’s best to our Defense Industrial Base. VISIT: WWW.MYPATRIOTCAREER.MIL

🇺🇸🫡 We need objective markers when it comes to meritocracy in the military selection system. We need the best warfighters to demonstrate their ability to solve a military problem.

Why is this chick so upset? How can a journalist allege a racial slur and then not provide the receipts? Ma’am, allow me the opportunity to clarify the ethos of the War Department: We focus on War. And promote those best at facilitating it. P.S. I canceled my economist subscription as a Captain in Afghanistan when people like you got the upper hand.

See you at SCOTUS.

.@SECWAR joined the @uss_boxer for early morning PT.

To all the field grade officers: publishing in @WarOnTheRocks means you are essentially asking for a liberal filter.  It’s not worth it. @EvansRyan202 personally denied me the ability to publish counter articles in War on The Rocks while simultaneously publishing articles about how stupid people were if they listened to me.  This was three years ago when I was at my lowest. I have the emails to prove it.   What were my controversial views? Broken PME system Nepotism in the senior military ranks Overemphasis on ethics Overemphasis on credentials Lack of merit based testing in Warfighting Ironically, one of his podcasters just reached out and asked to have me on their show.  My response, “I will never do anything associated with the liberal publication War on the Rocks.” Only responding now because I saw Ryan recently attacked @infantrydort and @cynicalpublius.  Did you block them both?  Not surprising, you have a habit of blocking views you disagree with.    Ten minutes of action is worth more than ten of your credentials.  This is something you will never understand. From: those with bubblegum for synapses

A reporter who doesn’t debate, just decides what facts to report. Deep sigh… @DanLamothe You are correct to infer my intention was Afghan related. But we cant fully debate the topic until the report is released. When it is released, I hope you are as objective as you claim. Thank you for clarifying that you didn’t serve, and for your work in Afghanistan.

What the Marine said...

Love this job. @DeptofWar

A Fox News hit I did yesterday on the Afghan Special Review. “The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quite under such misconceptions, it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson Summarized in plain English - A healthy democracy requires an active and vigilant citizenry even when the people only have partial information. Americans are unmatched in our ability to recognize and solve problems, even when the government resists. We can't ALL be wrong. foxnews.com/politics/pentago… #FoxNews
