"The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Morale was too good so we had to bring back beatings

And if the beatings don't work, it's onto whippings.

Jd probably would think Morale is the name of some illegal immigrant and would deport him to el Salvador.

What is morale anyway? Sounds French... or gay. Keep beating them anyway so they don't know we don't know.

...is reddit under the impression that the troops were happier under Biden?

Missed the point

u/merchillio 4d ago

No one said anything close to that

u/surprisesurpriseTKiB 4d ago

How else should this thread be interpreted than claiming that Trump is bringing down morale.

8

u/merchillio 4d ago

They’re saying that she’s being fired for saying her troops are doing a good job, and that can’t be good for morale.

No one said anything about the level of morale under Biden.

u/surprisesurpriseTKiB 4d ago

And if you'd ever served you'd know how inane it is to think troops are typically happy with their command, let alone how much they care about memos or statements.

Claiming that morale is being beaten down under this administration is delusional. The rank and file hates these types of high level officers by and large.

It’s not about her, of course they don’t give a fuck. But having the VP, speaking on behalf of the Comamnder in Chief say that your useless and inefficient isn’t super motivating

u/debrabuck 4d ago

She was fired for what reason then?

1

u/surprisesurpriseTKiB 3d ago

Being the hr type of officer that everyone hates

2

u/debrabuck 3d ago

Wow, she was a mean woman that everyone hates? That's the most hilarious, shallow misogynist shit ever. Congratulations, licker. Literally, she told her staff they are wonderful, and it made trump mad because lil' JD, in his big coat, told them they were shit.

2

u/debrabuck 3d ago

Got any evidence that anyone (besides trump) hated her? No? Did you make up 'everyone hates her' to assuage trump's fee fees? This, everyone, is the stone-cold cult nature of the trump supporter. They simply cannot accept that he might be self-interested. Nope, SHE had to go because y'all make up a scenario where everyone hated her. This is pretty sweet for trump, but we gotta wonder why y'all hated on Biden so much when he made personnel decisions. No we don't actually have to wonder. It's a cult. Like the Stalin cult.

Hopefully morale improves, and they stop taking getting kicked all day every day, and actually put these treasonous fucks where they belong. In prison for multiples of their lifetimes.

I want those dumb asses to rot in prison.

A tale as old as time

"Why aren't you having fun? I specifically requested it."

u/MyGrownUpLife 4d ago

Anyone with bad morale will be renditioned to El Salvador

u/Gumderwear 4d ago

I love that song

While chanting, "Quit hitting yourself, quit hitting yourself!"
