I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?

Sometimes I think we only attend wars where we can demonstrate our strength without serious consequences.

I hate wars and unfortunately I found out in the middle of one. I don't understand what we are getting into and for what, in the name of what?

I think we should have been part of the war in Ukraine. The US always talks about NATO, but never really takes action.

Well, the fat war profiteers sure saw results from our efforts. Bit silly to assume that we got involved to help others.

The hardest part of my last deployment was the realization I've dedicated my life to protecting a country that doesn't care about its citizens. We don't exist for the people of our country, we exist for the games politicians play. I want out.

It's not a good time to be picking fights, too bad some of our so-called "leaders" seem bound and determined to do so. Hoping and praying that it all blows over. Would love to be able to interact with other countries without so many under-the-table deals going on

Just a quick question, if we aren't taking part in the war in Europe, then why are so many of our financial resources being channeled over there? Hmmm...

"Not to reason why... but to do or die." (Tennyson) I don't know the greater mechanisms that are in place or the reasoning behind our actions as a nation. To be honest it's kind of hard to believe there even IS a reason sometimes. I will do my duty though, and to the best of my abilities. That's all I can focus on. Who has time for anything else?

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor.

I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?
