You could almost hear them agreeing with him because that's what they want is accountability. They want to be able to have a line solidarity. They want to forward defense and deterrence. They're not worried about the political class. Like Pete was just saying brilliantly that that's where all this stuff comes from. And you could even hear it spun today.
I think it was a Mazzy Hirono from Hawaii who said something like, it doesn't matter who you love. If you fight in a war, it's like, well, it's not quite that Pete's saying, if you live up to the standards, you can work. And it's not the worry about the LBG LGBTQ stuff. It's the, are you going to get an operation that requires you to recover for 18 months and you're not operationally ready?

That's all he's saying. But the problem is a lot of times, especially even dealing with politicians, you really got to be careful telling the truth because you might just offend stupid people. And that's all that's happening here. But Pete nailed it. And that's right, too. The only person who's been held accountable for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was a colonel who spoke up.

And he didn't even say anything disparaging. He's like, hey, where's the accountability? Boom, fired.

And I've talked to so many β I've been saying for a long time we need a mid-level officer with experience on the ground to take the Pentagon. Yes. I've talked to so many good officers at the major level, lieutenant commander level, that get out of the Navy, get out of the Army, because they're tired of dealing with the bureaucracy. I have a simple plan, too, if you want to keep it simple.

Well, yeah, I mean, well, because when he's when he's talking to Senator Kelly, who, by the way, is just ramping up for a run in 2028, that's all he's doing. But at one point he was saying it's anonymous and he always said, well, they're not anonymous with no proof. Like, oh, well, then who's the who is it? Well, yeah, he's seen them. Well. They are.
