Is the United States military second to anyone?

It sure sounds like they are lacking, they are weak. They have failed.

Republicans who hate Woke are in league with what the Enemy wants power worshippers to do.

My platoon Sergeant was the EO rep in our unit and he gave excellent Equal Opportunity briefings which the modern right would find offensive but no one gave a shit back then.
