Imagine going to law school and as a 3L majority of what you've learned as founding principles of our modern legal system was thrown out or severely weakened by SCOTUS?

I'm not going to QT the ex-LTC that wrote a novel about his self-imploding his career over the COVID vaccine.
But I will say is that he is a prime example of anti-intellectualism that has crept into the officer corp specifically.

Almost four years to the day, I was vocal on social media about my outrage to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and a number of other police-involved shootings in 2020.
Some of the replies I'd get from former friends and colleagues were the following:
This tragic situation of a Black airman being gunned down by a cop, after the cop possibly stormed the wrong apartment -- is your must read today.

You should smile in your command photo. For many younger Soldiers, especially in a large formation, it may be one of the few ways they get to see who you are as a person. If you seem approachable as a leader, people will bring you their issues.

I’m an Army Reservist so I don’t qualify for the full GI Bill. I commissioned later in life. My best bet in student loan forgiveness is getting into JAG.
There are Soldiers, myself included, who benefit from additional lanes of student loan forgiveness.
This student loan lawsuit is personal for me.
I paid for my education in blood, sweat, and tears in service to my nation, as did so many others.
It’s a slap in the face to every working American to be left with the tab for someone else’s Ivy League debt.

This guy was a battalion commander, rose up to O-5, more than likely had a TS-SCI clearance, and still decides to spread misinformation and say everything is a psyop to get click bait and choose politics over order.

Officers, especially field grade, should have enough of an education and intellectual maturity to be able to think outsides of their own biases, hold a HEALTHY level of skepticism within the institution, but still follow completely legal orders.

The tattoo is of the USS Zellars, my grandfather’s ship during the Second World War.
I miss him and his war stories. Frankly it is the reason I am still in service to this day. I couldn’t think of a better way to honor him and to get my first tattoo.

I earned my commission at 25 years old in 2018 through OCS.
My service is completely in the USAR in Civil Affairs and Signal Corp, with stints in the infantry and cavalry.
I've never deployed and chances are I'll never see the line of fire if I go JAG.
Does my service count?

To me, using military service as a justification for denying others education free from student loans is just a dick move.
The nation as a whole benefits from a more educated and financially stable population.
Making it easier and offering more lanes to forgive debt is good.

Veterans who complain about new benefits for current Soldiers to address a growing recruiting problem are high-key just jealous.
"I had it hard, so you should have it just as bad" is not how you attract a new, diverse generation.
I’m always perplexed at why people who are out of the military care so much about administrative policy changes within the service. Let us have our 12 weeks of parental leave, and you have another beer at your VFW. It’ll be ok.

So I’ve been going my back and forth about whether I want to go active duty if I’m selected for JAG or stay in the USAR and build a civilian legal career as a prosecutor.

We as a military can’t ask for beards and then get upset when people have them for legitimate reasons.
We cannot in one breath say that beards are reserved for our most professional fighting elites, members of USASOC, and then in the second breath say they are unprofessional.

Being a JAG at a high speed unit like the 75th is extremely appealing (of course that depends on my fitness and the availability of slots).
But there is also the desire to settle down and build my own income in the public or private sector.
