Why Veterans Don't Trust Politicians( of any party)

Without even addressing personal character or trust, no veteran who has ever been responsible for classified data is going to hold in high esteem someone who decides they can run a private email server while functioning at the highest level of government.

If we were in long enough, we all saw inquests, investigations, security inspections where individuals are treated as guilty until otherwise notified.

Which of us would ever rationally think that we could run completely outside the system, delete records purely on our personal preference, and expect no consequences?? Anyone?

So, when you read things like below, it leaves you wondering just how incompetent or sociopathic a person could be.

Clinton said she exclusively used her private e-mail account out of “convenience,” so as not to have to carry two phones. But she conceded that it “might have been smarter” to use a separate government account to conduct her State Department business.




I hear some screeching about the options, so let's lay it out.

Fun with words, shall we?

Sociopath
noun, Psychiatry.
1.
a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial,often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or socialconscience.

Incompetent
adjective
1.
not competent; lacking qualification or ability; incapable:
an incompetent candidate.
2.
characterized by or showing incompetence:
His incompetent acting ruined the play.
3.
Law.
  1. being unable or legally unqualified to perform specified acts or tobe held legally responsible for such acts.
So, knowing, or should have known the levels of accountability that our government of every service member that handles controlled information from E-1 up, which is it?

We would have all faced Courts-Martial for such offense, she gets off with a very grueling 20 minute press conference?

I'm sure folks who have faced formal UCMJ procedures for handling of classified data would LOVE that punishment.

Laughable in the absurd.

The more reasonable defense would be "I'm a sociopath, I don't care what other people think, I do as I want." That is at least rationally consistent.

What Does #EWorHW Mean?

It is a tag, short hand for we can do this   " THE EASY WAY or the  HARD WAY " Common phrase, you hear it often in the military. Sometimes it refers to understanding the better technique, "the easy way". More often the phrase is a bit more menacing, it means the subject is going to do it, the ONLY question is which way is it going to be done. Thus, when we talk about Making America Great Again (#MAGA), the Easy Way or Hard Way (#EWorHW).

Let the man speak for himself. A few of my personal favorites, which should inform our operations as well. Just your average, fun-loving Marine 2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.” 3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

We are at WAR

It is simply acknowledging the existing"state of armed conflict between ... groups within a nation". We productives, veterans, traditionalists from all walks of life have been relentless attacked for years. Because it has been a low-intensity conflict, most of us were more occupied with just living our lives, and the various skirmishes we shrugged off because we had more important things for our time and attention. Man, I'm getting too old for this Sh!t At various point in the last two years, millions of us woke up, which our enemies will forever regret. Different triggers; hateful pejorative labels, flippant slanders, attempted shaming, all aimed at making us kneel, bow down to our enemies. For people who follow a God, or veterans who are trained to bear up under duress and refuse to be be broken, that was a tactical blunder of epic proportions. You pissed us off and got our attention.
