That is how simple it is. No other possibilities. I am simply stating that once he quit the course he could have still served in the NG just more than likely not in that unit. He chose to retire because he may have had zero slots in the unit or state did not want him. I agree it is on him, but he is not a deserter or traitor as some have mentioned (not you) in previous posts. More than likely he did not have a slot available to him at the E8 level.He was in a Battalion Sgt Major slot, quit the course and retired. Why are you trying to argue other possibilities when we know exactly what happened? He wanted to run for congress and chose not to fulfill his obligations, end of story.
The financial stuff is very fair criticism. I’m talking about exerting Federal control such as vaccine mandates, mask mandates, forcing businesses to close and so on. I most certainly will not defend his spending during covid. Hell, he said Biden didn’t spend enough when that last ridiculous bill passed. Those bills weren’t the only reason for inflation though. Had we stayed upon I would hope those bills never happen. You can’t ignore that now we are paying fast food workers almost double what they used to make per hour. There’s no single thing that caused inflation. Biden didn’t cause it. Trump didn’t cause it. Congress didn’t cause it. They all did.He federalized unemployment during COVID, which is a main reason we have inflation today....
