We are fucked no matter the party.

Such is the state of 2 party political system.

It matters not what party in occupying office, We The People have the authority to nullify law. I'm working on it, others are working on it. It's not as difficult as you can imagine, the Fouders gave us the keys to the kingdom. The only threat is The Federal Reserve Act, Trading With the Enemy Act, & Lincon's 'War Powers' which the Supreme Court does not want to touch - See Trump v Cook 6/29/2026.

Knowledge is the only threat to tyranny, start mastering Constitutional law if you want to know how to control the public servants.

Critical thinking skills are important for this "post."

The headline and title of military intelligence misrepresents this entire thing. Its used so loosely to make up a story from the data.

I agree, but it's good advertising to highlight what the parties go looking for when they want to bring someone up the ladder. They say they're looking for talent, but really what they want is obedience. Thomas Massie comes to mind as a casualty for non-obedience. I hope AIPAC gets banned world-wide.

You could say the same thing of “they have college degrees” to now draw a Venn diagram around certain colleges?

The number of serious candidates is even a low number. I don’t see anything here other than a correlation between holding a state related job before pushing for an elected position.

And that’s pretty damn logical to me.

So much for the "lesser of two evils" party.

This is catastophized and making up a story from nothing. Gross

There aren't 60+ military intelligence personnel.

The article itself explains there are 60+ people somehow related to national security. That group includes combat veterans, pilots, military police, career enlisted soldiers, medical personnel, and State Department staff.

Some are just soldiers. Some were medical only.

And the article itself says none were CIA.
