Not to be insulting (to y’all...not this idiot) because I’m guilty of this too, but there’s going to be some rambling, there’s going to be some ranting, and there’s even going to be a soap box... stay with me and my long winded story, because I promise it’ll be worth it.
On the 13th of June a CV-22 crashed during a routine training mission. I want to make it clear that at no point did I insinuate anything about this crew’s ability or that I was anything but concerned for their well being. As a flyer I do not find crashes funny... After reading a few articles and hearing the news report (as opposed to the person this blog is about who obviously did not) about the crash I wrote this status on my FB account.
I should probably explain a little back story about myself and my feelings about the Commander I’m referencing... maybe one day I’ll give it it’s own story, but not today.
I had a terrible commander, they were looking for a reason to fire him, but he was the protege to the Wing Commander. The Wing Commander likes to go on firing sprees and that’s how he handles most of his problems...(because actually leading takes effort and respect.) I posted on facebook an idiotic email my Squadron Commander (we’ll call him “The Clown” from here on out) had sent out to over 300 people and multiple people commented on it. They were not nice comments... anyone with half a brain hates the man...I say “man” loosely. A rancid bitch I used to work with went to him and told him that I was a “cancer” because obviously I was leading a coup. After receiving this information The Clown then called the AFSOC Commander to demand that I be brought up on charges in a court martial because he had lost control of the squadron and I had taken over his command. His mentor could no longer protect him from his own stupidity and he was relieved of command, but I was given paperwork. The Wing Commander was the person with the power to give me a “Retain” or a “Do Not Retain” when my name came up in the Reduction In Forces....I had embarrassed him and his protege so out I went.
Back to what this story is actually about... after that post I received this private message from some one who’s husband I used to work with, I have hung out with socially two or three times, and who is an officer in the Air Force Reserves.
I knew this girl thought she was far more amazing than she really is, but I had no idea she was THIS far on the other side of ignorant.... I’m just going to dissect these messages for y’all... ok for me because I don’t like fake bitches.
“Didn’t you learn the first time.”
Yes, I did. That is why you will not find anything about my current job on this blog or my FB page. This comment is incredibly condescending and I’m not such a raging “holier than thou” bitch that I would say something like that to someone I didn’t hate. This says “Hey sugar, remember when you lost your career and spiraled into a depression? We don’t want to do that again now do we???” Thank you for showing what an insensitive cunt you are (and coming from me that says A LOT) and that you don’t understand that I was given my paper work for reposting my boss’ public email to my private FB page and NOT for reposting my opinion about how an organization I no longer have any affiliation with is managed...well done.
“...let’s respect the family and not put there* business on blast...”
I’m assuming you’re referencing where I said that I was glad their relatives are ok... I see why that would upset them. Completely valid point... your reading comprehension is impeccable and I am lucky to have you on my friends list to keep me free of such offensive language. (*it’s “their” smarty smart)
“Maybe it’s my intel background but stuff like this is how wiki-leaks probably got started...”
I have a few things to say about this statement... (takes a breathe...gets another cup of coffee...and go) Let me explain to you what Wiki-Leaks actually is since you obviously don’t understand it...sugar.
WikiLeaks- is an international, online, self-described not-for-profit organization publishing submissions of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistleblowers.
-During the 2008 United States presidential election campaigns, the contents of a Yahoo account belonging to Sarah Palin were posted on WikiLeaks after being hacked into by members of Anonymous....
-A classified video of the 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike was released, showing two Reuters employees being fired at, after the pilots mistakenly thought the men were carrying weapons, which were in fact cameras.
-400,000 documents relating to the Iraq War were released in October. The BBC quoted The Pentagon referring to the Iraq War Logs as "the largest leak of classified documents in its history." Media coverage of the leaked documents focused on claims that the U.S. government had ignored reports of torture by the Iraqi authorities during the period after the 2003 war
(this information came from WikiPedia... i’m not going to WikiLeaks...sorry.)
“...but I don’t want this on my feed...”
Well then unfriend me or change your settings so you don’t see my updates you stupid twat... I ignore all of your bullshit about Jesus with out feeling that I need for you to censor yourself. Funny story about her and jesus bullshit... at a friends wedding all of the girls got together to take pictures, after a few pictures this fine fine lady says: “Can we take a few without the drinks...and can y’all not tag me in any pictures with alcohol, I am a preacher’s wife on sundays after all.” Hahahaha because THAT is what it means to be a good Christian...you can drink, but just be fake as shit about it and lie to your “friends” in the congregation. I think that’s found in the New Testament somewhere... in red letters.
“...and two of them are in critical condition...”
Since I actually understand how google works, I checked their conditions before making my statement. Four were in stable condition and one was in guarded condition... Reading is super hard! Good thing you get to just copy and past some one else’s work for those intel briefs, huh?
You find where I blamed anyone on that crew for what happened. For that matter you find where I actually said that I thought the Wing CC caused this... Please refer to my actual comment that says “...What I think is the cause is besides the point..” I don’t know how you passed college admissions testing... honestly... how? Did reading the paragraph about the grandfather and the bananas to prove you can read give you any trouble when you joined the AF?
And then she was like...
(What’s the meanest thing I can say right now?! ok technically I STILL didn’t cross that line, but if you still read these I really wish you would appreciate all of the things I don’t say)
Here was my response...(after I blacked out from the rage for a second and texted that screen shot to several people to make sure she was being as big of a bitch as I thought)
And then she was like...
“...I don’t take part in the point the finger and blame game.”
Show me where I said that... show me where I said anything other than that awful piece of officer would fire anyone else in his position.
“I don’t know Col ___ personally and I am not going there with you with The Clown contrary to what you think he I still respect and as a leader and person.”
I’m going to ignore your inability to form a sentence in english and just speak to your point. I don’t care to know that jack hole personally... General Patton was a dick and Churchill was a drunk, BUT they were both amazing leaders and THAT is what their people should judge them by first and foremost. I received phone calls from people that knew him from the time he was a Lt until now telling me what an asshole he is and that no one would follow him anywhere. I don’t know anyone who thinks that he cares about them or would follow him out of a wet paper bag because they all know he’d stab them in the back just to make rank...so no I really do not care to know if he kicks his dog or goes to church on sundays. As far as The Clown goes, he’s a Lt Col...he will never make O-6 and if my career imploding did anything I can take some comfort in the fact that he will never ever have any affect on or be put in command of another airman. I could go on to list all of the ways that he is a terrible leader, but I’ll just say this... I said before how he called the AFSOC CC because I’m a scary meanie pants AND THEN after being put where LtCols go to die he emailed General Swartz to say: “I was fired under suspicious circumstances and I would like to be included in ______” (some special program for people who want to go into politics.) Swartz did not respond but just emailed the AFSOC CC to say “Why are your people contacting me?” Sooo maybe you should call your bestie because I’d say he didn’t learn HIS lesson. I had written a long list of all of his short comings as a commander but I think those two things say it all.
And then I was like...
I thought I was being nice... I mean I didn’t even say “ya dumb bitch” or anything.
“Honestly your opinion matters little to me. Like I am sure mine matters little to you.”
Well then why the fuck did you message me?! Again, this is a “nice” or “fake bitch” way of saying “I’m smarter than you and I can’t believe you don’t agree and would dare to be aggressive to the likes of me.” Well, if I respected you as a person and I wasn’t so sure of how stupid you are then I might actually take your opinion into consideration.
“...I am just going to pray for the families. I am not trying to be condescending I just don’t want OPSEC info on FB. But hey your* not in the military anymore or the only person doing it. So I apologize if I offended you.”
Hahahahahahaha (takes a breath) hahahahahaha you’re so stupid hahahaha. So for anyone who doesn’t know...including this “lady,” OPSEC stands for “Operational Security.” Now it is terribly sad that someone with an “intel background” does not know what that means. Fine... I’ll tell you. Nothing I said in anyway sheds any light on ANY operations. I did not say that I know what happened, I didn’t say what I have seen of CV-22 performance, I didn’t say anything about recent incidents, and I said far less than the Wing CC actually released.... soooo I think that you need to call him and make sure he knows that he is worse than WikiLeaks. This is what was released shortly after the crash...
(*the word is “you’re”)
I know...I know... watching the news and doing a google search is really complicated... not to mention that you don’t even have the basic understanding of simple words/phrases that should be well ingrained in your “intel background.”
(pulls soap box out from closet... stands proudly on said soap box...)
Thank you... thank you for showing me yet another Officer who still has their commission, but doesn’t deserve it. You are a fine example of what is wrong with the Officer Corps as a whole. You obviously have no idea why I am not in the AF because I have never been accused of an OPSEC violation, BUT you went ahead and decided to preach to me. As if not only are you smarter than I am, but that I would immediately just follow your ignorant lead because... well... why wouldn’t I? You’re so smart...I’m sure you have a piece of paper that says so and shiny things on your shoulders so why would anyone question what you say? THAT is a very common problem... you have this sense of entitlement that people should just listen to you even though you have no idea what you’re talking about AND you’re not willing to do the research. Not only do you lack basic skills to perform your job, have a sense of entitlement, but you’re also a coward. Even though you were trying to support “the man,” regardless of what is right or wrong, you didn’t want people to know that. You are such a coward that you thought you could send me some message and no one would have to know what a bitch you are... because standing up for something publicly is scary isn’t it? People might not agree with you... people might find out you’re not that bright... people might see that you support a regime that is mocked and hated, but you fall in line because that’s what “good” officers do. Well, let me be really clear here... you and the officers like you are a disgrace, I am ashamed that any of you are called leaders, and here’s a shocker... your “subordinates, airman, troops...” whatever term you call them to make sure they know you think you’re above them... they know... they know you’re a coward, they know you’d never make a public stand for them (or even your leaders apparently,) and they also know you’re an idiot since they’re the ones making those power points for you when you get the credit for briefing them. Oh, how do I know that? Because I called them my “friends, guys, or coworkers...” because they knew I wasn’t the kind of O to hide in a private message or just listen to someone because of what’s on their shoulders...
So fuck you and every idiotic coward just like you who’s dragging down our military...
And then I was like...
haha oh wait... I wrote this blog.
(oh and thank you for giving Josh and I our newest thing to randomly yell at each other since high school! “WIKILEAKS!!!”)
It is NOT a good idea to send me a private bitch message... it will not stay private and I’m all out of free passes...
(What’s the meanest thing I can say right now?! ok technically I STILL didn’t cross that line, but if you still read these I really wish you would appreciate all of the things I don’t say)
Boom! Epic. You forgot to mention in your OPSEC rant that more information than what you posted here was presented on NBC, ABC, CBS and of all places the HURLBURT FACEBOOK page...but who cares right? Just a bit of an 'OPSEC' violation...or was it?!
ReplyDeleteI cant stand that "well my morals are higher than yours" snub off at the end. Do people start arguments just to feel like they are better people for pointing out how much lower the rest of us are?
