Jeff McLanefontane

Has it ever occurred to these people to apply Occam’s razor??? He’s a guy with a first name of Karol. He’s clearly getting ahead of assumptions.

Or conversely if he was some militant, recalcitrant leftist maybe he’d decide to be inconspicuous about it.

Sorry fuck I meant Hackworth.

No. But inch by inch it has become more true.

In all seriousness I think he was probably one of those prior Es who did very well as a company grade but never quite made the transition to field grade leadership. He imagines himself as a Dave Grossman type but it’s clear he’s a fucking weirdo.

Interestingly enough there’s a certain retired 4*’s kid who after his military service has made some serious bones in the public sector law and judicial circuit and is an AUSA in a prominent district and I wonder what he’s thinking on his way to the bench or wherever he’s aiming for.

Nahh America is unique in that it is not a nation of people bound by a shared ethnic or cultural identity.

Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

Yeah you can see a short tab in the picture of him where he’s big and dumb and chinless at NTC. Also pretty sure this is him.

Swear to fucking Christ it’s absolutely clear this dude’s conception of fighting never graduated past company level force on force and I say this as a guy with far less tangible experience then he has.

Aren’t these things he’s ostensibly referring to done as a part of a staff?

Still a very bizarre guy, but tabbed.

He’s tabbed.

As a corollary some retired 1SG over there posted this deranged screed framing the entire culture war as a battle between good and evil and said we will never overcome the jag officers, PAO, and HR departments until we recognize this.

Just completely hollow.

These people throw around phrases like “common sense” as some shibboleth without ever actually examining their views.

Fucking look around. Can things get better?? Yes.. but broadly life is fucking grand. Cold cans of coke, wifi, amazon, not everything is a fucking existential struggle.

It’s giving last man vibes, pure, uncut megalothymia, except for no fucking reason anyone can discern.

Social media was a mistake.

There’s some retired 1SG who posted this deranged screed about how whatever he thinks is wrong with the DOD is a microcosm of what’s wrong with the country and that the issue is good vs. evil and until we acknowledge that we’ll never defeat the JAG officers and PAO.

In this essay I will . . .

In conclusion . . .

He’s a tortured warrior ™ in the vein of Patton, Chesty Puller, and Robin Olds who surely also would have spent most of their time engagement farming on social media had they the option.

Nothing invites universal scorn more than someone so transparently trying to be something they’re not.

Which way western man? The woke T1000 or the virtuous and manly Dr. Spears?

An interesting hypothetical is to see how far down the barrel they would have to shove their arm to find someone who would pass their asinine ideological purity tests.

He’s John Nash scribbling on the windows at MIT.

I like to call it the “prisoner’s dilemma.”

Can’t wait for Dort to incorporate stag hunt or tragedy of the commons into his screeds.

If you take the whatever the baseline partisan Republican was in your standard rifle company from 2010 and cook it in a microwave for fifteen years the results speak for themselves. Folks all over have been for years told to believe Obama and adjacent types are evil communists.

TBH this seems to go deeper than just “mediocre officer” territory.

I wonder what sort of personal identity he has outside of whatever the fuck this is as the people he’s carrying water for seem more self actualized than him.

His tryst with a Palin didn’t put this to bed for you years ago?

Loomer*

The fact that senior NATSEC officials, whoever they are, feel compelled to address the Laura Looker types says a lot in and of itself.

Chat, would someone suited to their position actually humor Laura Loomer?

Don’t leave us hanging.

I actually wonder how he was as a battalion field grade.

Meaning, did he actually do field grade shit or was he someone who at one point might have been fairly competent in direct leadership larping as an organizational leader?
