We need advocacy and lobbying to compete with all the industries who look at us like a piggy bank to raid. And we need veterans of both parties to be involved in local, state and federal politics to tether us to the remainder of the nation.

My only thought about VD this year: had a lot of folks in uniform preach eternal duty at me. They make you pledge to an oath or a creed; a lot of talk about never forgetting and lifelong responsibility. But those folks are gone now, doing things far removed from this world.

Tell me you don’t know anything about DoD acquisition processes without telling me.

From the SWP memo this summer to the MEIA unveiling, this radically dismantles the objective selection processes in place for some time. Sure there’s the normal amount of Hegseth posturing but it’s worse than that.
