This began years ago courtesy of LBJ who offered draft deferments to students and seminarians. And what did these people do from age 18 to 26? They stayed in school earning BAs, MAs, MSed, and other less than valuable degrees or skills. Since they have no job skills, where do they go? On to the PhD and then the university systems. We are now in the 3rd generation of committed leftists in the university structure. Time to defund education.
Did Milley learn this at Princeton? Does he believe it? Or does he fear being replaced early if he slow rolls it or essentially just doesn't do it? My theory has been that those who are believers and/or compliant were selected for promotion in Flag ranks; they may have tried to guess which way the wind was blowing politically, and outwardly joined in the madness. General Peter Pace caught hell for not going along. LtGen Flynn's tendency to speak truth to power has likely doubled down the vetting process. I hope we wake up before those of us who are left have to learn Chinese.
"Haole" here and, unlike some of my peers, "being replaced" has never crossed my mind. Maybe it's because I have lived in close proximity to POC for all of my 48 years?
P.S. Milley's successor is CQ. And I look forward to it.
Elite overproduction. Too many people versed in theories and not enough people versed in map reading. Your kids' tuition is so high because half the employees of the university are now administrators who add zero value to their education.

It's a job of work we have in front of us, society-wide.
Said for years the Campus marching into real life.
Incompatibility with reality doesn’t mean the rest of us make it, and being so spineless maybe we shouldn’t.

The virus has escaped from the lab, is what it amounts too.

Gen. Dave Goldfein was - and still is - a big advocate for DEI. The Air Force is in good hands with CQ.
