I had the great privilege of serving in the 1st Marine Division in Iraq when these great men led the "Blue Diamond". Gen Mattis was the CG, Gen Kelly was the Deputy CG, and Gen Dunford was the Chief of Staff. Amazing leaders!

This was excellent. Three great Americans on this panel that I was honored to serve with at some point during my career. Thank you for sharing!

The confidence in The United States Military is 100 percent, the best institutions that the United States has, the United States Military

The perception of Politics

[@Chris-bn1bn]

Get the government to show some well earned respect would definitely help improve new sign-ups. Republicans are terrified to spend a dime unless it profits them in some way.

[@ChristopherLydon-il6ih]

Nuclear particle accelerators to repair any and all illnesseses that any Military personal have, if they lost a hand or leg in combat then they go to the V.A. the very day that the veteran steps into the V.A. they have their limb regrown.

John Kelly was not Chief of Staff. He was Secretary of Homeland Security

We're not a democracy though..

[@power21100]

And i know you've heard the rebuttal to that a lot of time. But you're too stubborn to understand things.

A republic requires democracy to function.. Ass
