LtCol Scheller is spot on. 28 of the 34 recently retired four-star U.S. military officers went to work for the arms industry, a revolving door that drives soaring profits and near-record military spending. "The revolving door is a problem because it creates the appearance—and in some cases the reality—of conflicts of interest in the making of defense policy and in the shaping of the size and composition of the Pentagon budget." Beyond the $200k+- pension for life, many General's also finagle 100 percent VA disability benefits - because of their rank and influence. These perfumed princesses developed a military culture where they are untouchable and beyond scrutiny.....as evident by their piss poor performance in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kabul Debacle.... We have undoubtedly the best military with unmatched equipment and superior troops....but we lack the senior military leadership. Lions led by self-serving Sheep. General's (and politicians) should be barred from holding shares and working for the MIC, defense related corporations, foreign governments....for 5 years after retirement.

HAPPY MONDAY/HAPPY ARMED FORCES DAY!!!!! On this day in 1950, President Harry S. Truman established Armed Forces Day. Peering through literature reviews gives you a different view of those who served. When you FOCUS, you find that these leaders cared about the military. The theme of the first Armed Forces Day was “Teamed for Defense,” and it had a three-fold mission:   1. To celebrate and recognize all Americans serving in uniform, as well as those who had served before. 2. To bring citizens closer to their military by hosting base open houses and public displays of new military technology.  3. To promote the unity of the military services established in the National Security Act of 1947. #A1CLorenzoRWilson

My most vivid and most painful memory in 23 years in the US occurred on this day 23 years ago. We lost too many innocent families that day. And so many more since then - brave, selfless people who sacrificed their life so we wouldn't have another 9/11. We cannot be safe without military families. As we remember and mourn those who we have lost today, please consider expressing gratitude to military families who sacrifice every day to keep us safe. Here are some options... 1. Thank them for their service 2. Ask them how we can express our gratitude 3. Volunteer in organizations that support military families Help members of military families build fulfilling careers in the civillian sector... 4. Offer free training 5. Conduct mock interviews 6. Offer mentoring 7. Help with job hunting 8. Consider for internships / apprenticeships 9. Offer jobs 10. Brag about how awesome they are from the rooftops Never forget 9/11. Never forget who sacrifices every day since so we don't have another 9/11.

Learn about applying military dedication in the civilian world with Vincent "Rocco" Vargas, who believed in accomplishing more. The constraints of the military fueled his desire for something more. It was about wanting more for himself and pushing beyond limitations. #MilitaryMindset #CivilianSuccess Full Episode- https://lnkd.in/g-MAwFN9
