Russian, American, Ukrainian, German, or whatever, the military men and women rely on their political leadership to exercise their best judgment. When the political leadership makes poor decisions, the military suffers. It has always been that way.
Yeah. He's got a lawsuit coming in 🔥 and will win. I dont agree with Kelly politically most of the time, not schooled up on his statements that got him in hot water other than, I get his sentiment but were they were in poor taste. However, not illegal IMO and definitely not ok to pull benefits or pension. He'll win in court.
