The first thing you need to know about Bobby Jones’ conversation with Sam Osterhout on this week’s Anchor Watch is that Bobby went off. With the deployment of National Guard troops to American cities, the revelation that the regime is considering deploying the storied 82nd Airborne to Portland, and Trump’s determination to turn the Navy into his own personal toy on its 250th birthday was just too much.
The fact is — it IS too much. The quick but incremental slide into the police state of fascism isn’t inevitable, but it’s happening nonetheless. We can’t allow ourselves to ever believe that any of this is normal. Because the second we do, the next step arrives and we are forced to normalize that, too.
The same is true for the enlisted men and women who are forced to make small but significant decisions about the shape of their orders. Bobby, a former Navy commander, has a lot to say about Trump’s treatment of our military, and our esteemed Navy, specifically.
As always, your comments in the chat were spot on — they even made us a little misty. No kidding.
