57. Oh- My GOD! That sound clip HAS to get out there!
Tue Apr 7, 2020, 05:40 AM
Apr 2020

As a retired Army Officer- I have to say that this audio SoundCloud HAS to get high exposure immediately-

In it, this Acting Navy Secretary :

Says the Captain Betrayed the ship’s crew-
(He didn’t. )

Says the ships Captain EMBARRASSED the Trump Administration- (They did it to themselves)

Says they can elevate something up the chain, but can NEVER let the American people find out about it!

Calls the Media “the enemy” and says they have “an agenda against this administration”.

Calls out Biden and introduces brash partisan politicization to the Navy .

THIS MUST NOT STAND.

The partisan politicization of the Armed Forces is the worst destructive thing they can do, and they are doing it.

That, more than anything else, is dangerous!


Somebody- PLEaSE! Extract that SoundCloud Audio, and make it it’s own post, and SHARE IT! 🗽
