Milley may have read Marx, Mao and Lenin, but he hasn’t read our Constitution. First he fails even a basic understanding the 3/5 clause (which he incorrectly states treated blacks as 3/4 of a human) or why it was even contemplated in the first place. He sounds like a 19 year old college J school major. Hearing him speak about “critical thinking” while demonstrating absolutely zero of same would be laughable if he didn’t hold the position he does. This kind of stuff sometimes makes we want to Split S right into the ground.
While I TRY to read your blog often, for military insight that is hard to garner, you are way off the mark here. You are swimming upstream. You and your co-believers, who are numerous, may well succeed in your retrograde aims, in the short term, to our considerable detriment . In the long run you will be forgotten.
“We need critical thinkers in the Navy.” Amen. It is a critical resource when engaged with sailors who are monoracial, monocultural, monosex, have been subject to rote political indoctrination, who freeze, at all ranks, in critical situations, do not have the neural components to make real time decisions, and may well panic into every man for himself behavior under stress. Our enemies might well match our superior technology with sheer number; that’s a strategy. What they fear the most, however, is the superiority of our training and motivation.
