As a southerner who lived in Germany and felt the quiet moments of remembrance as I walked sidewalks across that country, it’s awesome to see my own country similarly remembering our own complicated past. Hopefully it spreads to other states.

If that was the point of the article (a cautionary tale, not advocacy for adapting to a post-liberal government) then it needed better editing. The thesis (and the citations) read as an officer openly advocating for “adapting” to the political climate by abandoning our oath to the Constitution.

A surprising (and disturbing) percentage of American service members rely on food benefits (SNAP/WIC) to feed their families. Also, while uniformed members are paid, many of their spouses who work in civilian jobs on base, are not being paid. Teachers, nurses, etc are being forced to work unpaid.

Families watching sports together on TV, maybe with an occasional in-person attendance, is how you grow the next generation of fans (at least it was for our generation).

It is an antiquated policy, at best. Given the population of pro-sports cities, and the price of admittance, most fans will never be able to attend, and if you’re not filling the stadium it has little to do with people preferring to watch on TV.

Ironically, at the same time, the Army is considering a major reduction in the number of functional area opportunities to retain these talented officers. 🤔
