The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Let's forget Milley for a minute - not everyone's favorite, not the worst either.

Let's look at the clear indications made by GEN McChrystal and ADM McRaven, two clearly incredible true warriors (both commanded the JSOTF I was in, 20+ years ago, when they were upper tier leaders in JSOC). Both knew Trump for the prancing peacock of a martinet wanna-be that he is.

There will be casualties - the real ones, not just jobs/information about disease/tax auditors, no...we're talking about the real, ugly, second order effects of raw stupid running unchecked at the top - before this gets better.
