This past week the U.S. administration flew in all of the top U.S. military brass from where they were stationed around the world — most likely at great expense. And then proceeded to bore them with several hours of bizarre and rambling talks about nothing.
Somebody told me that the entire episode seemed very embarrassing and dysfunctional. I pointed out that there is always a silver lining, and that this farce has actually served a practical purpose.
The administration is actually doing our nation a favor by making sure the military knows that they are complete idiots. This will hopefully increase the chances that we can trust the military to act responsibly if these wiseguys attempt a coup.
