CSA doesn't "command", hence the "Change of Responsibility".

Thankfully GEN (about to be Ret.) Odierno and I don't frequent the same circles.
I predict we will see a lot of GEN Odierno around town, just because he is physically easy to identify.

Fat Ray could eat a bucket of dicks but he's already done that...fat bastige that he is.

Milley is a fekkin' clown. I sat through the most insane quarterly safety briefs with that clown than I have ever seen. The man is insatiable in his appetite for information and he does NOT trust his subordinates. He gets down in their shit and we are going to see a return of briefing the freakin' motor pool stats to the four star level before he is done.

I am so fucking glad I am retired (day 14 as of today). I'm gonna go down to the pier and throw and cast net with "Denne Rock" and tell the rest of the world to kiss my ass.

No longer my clowns...no longer my circus.

Say hello to Denne Rock for me....
