This is exactly how many of us combat vets feel. Giving ICE military uniforms was a terrible idea. #armyretired

Junior airmen do not talk to the SECDEF, and, no, they don't paste sly smiles on their faces if they do. This convo never happened. Hegseth is full of sh*t. #armyretired

They said Iraq was going to be easy. Iraqis will greet us like liberators, they assured us. #armyretired

I took the Oath of Citizenship while in Army uniform. That said, I served alongside immigrants in places like Iraq who, through no fault of their own, had paperwork hung up within the red tape of bureaucracy. #armyretired

GEN @markhertling.bsky.social is on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social at the moment. He wrote a poignant book that I hope at least some of you will read. #armyretired

As a young man going through war in Iraq, I had to accept the harsh, brutal truth that many of the leaders that sent me there never will have to do it. #armyretired

I'm certain this message by Hegseth should offset the already flagging recruiting numbers, especially, for the Army. #armyretired

The guy in charge of the V.A. isn't up for the job. He should have stuck to being a chaplain or a pastor. #armyretired

Believe me, there are lots of Christian extremist nutters in charge of troops. We had a young captain in Iraq who was the epitome of a Christian crusader. Lucky for us, he caught a bullet and left the theater soon enough. #armyretired

I saluted you once. I said, good day, sir. You replied, "how's it going, Top?" And you returned my salute.
(During the surge in '07, Iraq). #armyretired

As a career soldier, I believe this will lead to, first, presence, then, occupation, followed by... no one knows what. #armyretired

To their credit, they were polite. I had my gun on me. Told them so. They took my ID. After twenty minutes, one of them said, thank you for your service, and let me go.
I'm a naturalized citizen. #armyretired
