Whatever you may think about UFO/UAP, highly sensitive military, civilian, and other government facilities are experiencing regular incursions by objects that do so at will. The DOD seems powerless to thwart these objects, and is reticent to disclose information regarding the incidents. If nothing else, this is a matter which implicates government transparency, and that should concern every American. Dustin Slaughter Has written a fascinating, well documented, and highly informative piece. A must read for anyone interested in the UAP subject. https://lnkd.in/eZsWsyfX

The Military Awards System is corrupted and overwhelmingly favors officers. Can someone explain what is going on here. As you can see in the main picture, as a BGen this officer does not have the Combat Action Ribbon (CAR). Then top right as a 3 star, he doesn't have the CAR either. Then bottom as a 4 star, he has the CAR....how did this happen? The CAR is for Colonels and below "who have actively participated in ground or surface combat." The ribbon is awarded to members of the Navy and Marine Corps with a rank no higher than captain and colonel, respectively. So how does a 4 star end up with the CAR all of a sudden?
