If you are a recruiter and trying to make your numbers (get people to join) it helps if they are in awe of what you can do. Watch the Marine Band, or the Silent Drill Team, and you will be amazed. Canceling the convert was foolish.

Fascinating discussion on DEI and the Marine Corps on Reddit. As usual the comment section is where you learn what the community thinks, and the vast majority of my crayon eating brothers and sisters know that diversity is one of our biggest strengths (it is good to be a Marine and have so manny).

Sec Collins’s proposed changes may indeed help Veterans. Yet his early moves show he must be more transparent in his next steps or risk pushing Veterans away—and driving us to seek redress. So many did not sacrifice their lives to for the ultra-rich or usher in an era of cronyism and self-dealing.

By using that platform, Secretary Collins weakens my trust in his leadership of the VA. The choice suggests a tilt in favor of corporate interests. This may be just a wisp of smoke, (corruption) but I worry it will grow into four years of fire.

This is the same Mr. Musk who donated more than two hundred fifty million dollars to President Trump’s campaign. And to read others’ reactions to Collins’s statement, I had to sign in yet again, adding even more value to X.

Sec. Collins says cutting 15% of the VA’s workforce will make the agency more efficient and serve Veterans better. I want to believe that, but Secretary Collins also announced this plan on X. To learn what he said, I had to join a platform owned by Mr. Musk—thus giving him my time and my data.
