But those that have worked in the building know that the vices are the real ones in charge, fortunately...

AJ,

It has always amazed me how often this "type" rise through the ranks... often to the pinnacles.   I went to school with "Moldy", Tom Modly.   I was baffled when he was pulled back from civilian life to become SECNAV.   At the Academy he was just a weasel.  He kept to the code, but was able to make your skin crawl.   I think the Lords of Language created the word "smarmy" in anticipation of his arrival.   So when I heard about Crozier was fired from being Captain on the Teddy, I knew who was behind it.  "Moldy" would ruin the careers of 10 good men (or women) before he would take a single black mark on his record.  If Biden had been President then, I'm sure Moldy would still be SECNAV.

I guess the elected political snakes like to have the smarmy around to kiss their asses.

Thanks for chiming in on Vindman and Milley, it's always good to hear other's unsolicited views on those you perceive as useless.  It's a real shame because there a some real quality Generals and Admirals out there who never rise to the top... probably because the politicians can't control them.  Although those same officers seem to be targets for political apparatchik, the media and recently, the FBI/CIA.

The fact that Vindman called for his court martial is hilarious to me. Talk about the pot calling the kettle… FWIW, I actually know guys that went through Ranger School with Vindman and they all agreed he was a useless f*ck chow thief (literally the lowest thing you can be in a school where you’re constantly starving). 

Milley is useless politician. Always has been. I worked directly with him at both 10th Mountain and the 101st, know people who worked directly with him at 5th SFG and III Corps, and he was a piece of crap mealy-mouthed douchebag the whole time. Milley is a legacy of Clinton and Obama years, a politician who made his biggest moves throughout his career by playing sensitivity woke politics to pander to the left and was shepherded throughout his career by those looking to push that agenda. The most telling part about Milley is how little SF work he did while at 5th Group. As a buddy of mine (who was at 5th Group at the same time put it), “He got his green beret, but he damned sure never used it.”
