One thing that is true about the army, maybe more so than any job, is that no one is irreplaceable.

When Trump was up in the polls: “Biden is old again today.”
Where was Trump during the draft again?
I hope that when she does get around to it, she sits down with a bunch of regionals and leaves these clickbait artists in the dark.
He Re-upped for four years after 9/11. Did he not also know then?
Just ridiculous bullshit.
