Badger, getting the urge to write again. I'm retired now (working as a DA civilian) so they can't kick me out...again. Thinking about: "This ain't the Army I joined."

Also, on the "touch thing," we share our building with the Air Force. For some reason, there were a number of them congregated on the second floor balcony just outside the men's room. I go into the bathroom to take care of business. On my way out, our Senior NCO (MSG T - freaking GREAT guy) comes in. I finish washing up and on my way out start screaming "BAD TOUCH...BAD TOUCH...." and run out of the bathroom down the hall to my room and slam the door.

Folks say that was one of the funniest things they ever saw: MSG T walks out and there's about eight Air Force folks eyeballing him with their jaws on the ground. We laughed about that for weeks. Freaking Box-level stuff right there.

I saw the government changing 3-years ago so I retired, again… Best thing I did. The government has turned into an open sewer, not a swamp, and they are dragging parts of the country with them.

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the two most untrustworthy agencies in the US government have the brass balls to release a statement that the "Twitter-Files" are just "conspiracy theorists" trying to discredit the alphabet agencies.
...one of the vilest seditionists of all time was an FBI "spy chaser"
...the agency that literally coined the phrase 'conspiracy theorist' did so after conspiring to murder their chief executive
...the same agencies that can't figure out who Ghislaine was trafficking children to
...the same agencies that were run by a 'leaker' and a 'communist'

Yet, the rank-and-file AMCIT™ just doesn't seem to care. Worse still, is that the rank-and-file AMCIT™ seems to be more and more and more and more satisfied with a bowl full of peas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Wait, what? Did you literally just say literally?

Yes.
Yes I did.
I literally typed literally.

An alphabet organization was 'literally' accused of using the term 'conspiracy theory' in a 1967 Memo intended to discredit critics of the Warren Commission - and while that particular agency has always said that their invention of the phrase "conspiracy theorist" was 'literally' part of a conspiracy to discredit their organization, they literally used the phrase “conspiracy theorists” in said memo.

...admittedly the phrase "conspiracy theory" has its own existential conspiracy theory but I'm not here to debate such nonsense. Some say it has literally been around for over a hundred years while others say its use only surfaced recently. Some say J Edgar Hoover was a crossdresser and that the CIA killed JFK - who knows?

I do know that these two alphabet organizations alluded to in this post have a long and documented history of being dishonest in their dealings with the American public to a degree that can literally be described as unethical at best - horribly illegal at worst - but it SURE is easy to see how the DOJ would treat a modern day reporter the same way they treated somebody like Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm not making accusations, I'm literally, just offering an opinion based on observation.
