I hope this doesn't lead to another self-inflicted brain-drain following those of science and academia. National security requires intelligence and experience, yet these yahoos are busy chasing those qualities out in their pursuit of their own brand of political correctness.
So today in my news feed:
Quote:The head of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Gen. Bryan Fenton, retired from his role Friday.
“As I hand over the reins, I do so with the utmost confidence in your ability to continue this vital work. The future of USSOCOM is bright because of our people, our commitment to winning and our relentless drive to transform,” said Fenton, who was the 13th commander of USSOCOM, in a letter that was published by the command Thursday.
“Thank you for your dedication, your service and your unwavering commitment to excellence. It has been my greatest privilege to serve among you and as your commander,” Fenton added.

Quote:A top Air Force commander, Gen. Thomas Bussiere, announced his retirement Tuesday for “personal and family reasons.”
“After much reflection and with a full heart, Barb and I have made a difficult decision to request retirement from the United States Air Force for personal and family reasons,” Bussiere, the head of Air Force Global Strike Command, said in a post on Facebook.
“While I’m stepping away from active duty, my commitment to service remains. I look forward to finding new ways to support our Air Force, our national defense and the incredible people who make it all possible,” wrote Bussiere, who was nominated by the Trump administration to be the Air Force’s vice chief of staff over the summer.
Bussiere has served as Air Force Global Strike Command commander since December 2022.
