In my opinion, and it's just my opinion, it would better if retired military officers would just keep out of politics in general. Except for voting or perhaps running for elected office.

Their opinions do matter. However none of hollywoods should!

Top brass have had dealings with elected officials. First hand knowledge we should hear.

hollywood is so disconnected from reality and up to their ears in wokeness, why should anyone listen to them.

If someone has already mentioned this, my bad. I have not read every post in this thread.

let me put this in perspective you can understand. CEO's of major companies are a dime a dozen. thousands of them. so 17 wouldn't be shit.

how many currently serving Generals and Admirals are there?

45

17 former Generals and Admirals is close to half that number

get the point now?

What's the point you are trying to make here. You claim "barry" let go 17 admirals and generals but that happened under Obama not Biden. And even if he did so what. Does that mean that these Admirals and Generals get to bash him on the way out the door? In my opinion they should not.

I've stated my opinion on this already. Retired military should keep out of politics unless they are voting or are running for office. To do otherwise breaks the apolitical nature of the miitary. This applies to all sides and I never said differently no matter what you might infer.

you didn't answer the question posed. don't evade it.

was it apolitical when former Generals and Admirals called Trump incompetent to lead but not apolitical when they call Biden incompetent to lead?

answer the question

TWK, no need arguing with you about it because you missed the point and are trying to change it to your Trump loving/ anti- Biden narrative.

Read the subject title and answer the question about how many retirees are out there for the sample size. I'm not talking about silly shit like CEO's or any other nonsense. I'm talking about the subject of this thread and comparing it to the esteemed group who made it to the level of achievement to be a retired general or retired admiral.

evasive as ever. u are consistent, there's something to be said for that.

sample sets? i told you about that. serving CEO's are elite. but a dime a dozen compared to really elite .. the less than 50 serving Generals and Admirals.

tell me with your Ivy League CPA degree what's the higher percentage? 17 CEO's out of thousands or 17 former senior flag officers out of a few hundred?

no need arguing with you about because you know the math and so do i.

that 17 former flag officers claim Biden is incompetent .. and he is .. is a significant number

answer the question

You seem to be purposely avoiding the point I'm making. I'll spell it out for you. In my opinion, if you make the military your career, you should be apolitical even when retired. In my opinion that is the price you pay for being a high ranking military member. Bashing the politics of either party including Biden or Trump or Obama or Bush should be strictly forbidden.


P.S. Your comments make it very hard to not be offensive in return.

TWK, I'm also a CFA too. LOL

I'm not going to argue about this shit. I thought I was pretty clear that I was just going by the subject title of this thread and didn't read every post in it. I asked a specific question about the total sample size and that has yet to be answered.

You will need to repeat your question or continue to wait because I don't know what your asking for. I thought I answered your question a few times now.

I don't understand what meeting an Admiral or General has to do with anything regarding my opinion on whether retired military officers should be apolitical or not?

Do I agree with what the Flag Officers 4 America said in their letter? For the most part I do not. Is that what you are asking for? Please be specific as to what you want to hear and I'll see if I can provide it for you. I'll say it again. In my opinion retired military officers should be apolitical and keep out of politics.
