Tallgrass’ Post

This is not sustainable.

Maj Gen Roberson visited 7th Special Forces Group September 2022. During a town hall meeting, I pointed out the CDC recently stated there is no distinction between how vaxxed & unvaxxed individuals should be treated & that my religious exemption had been pending for a year. I then asked if there is any talk of removing the mandate. He responded, “have you heard of Novavax?,” to which I said, “yes sir, it uses aborted fetal cells too.” He seemed flustered at my retort. This led to a long answer on how if the US Army asks you to do something you should do it. That he doesn’t want to kick anyone out but will. That the Army is trying to find a middle ground with Novavax so the unvaxxed should take it. After that conversation I decided to leave the Army rather than wait for my exemption to get denied & risk receiving a less than honorable discharge. Even though MG Roberson probably had an amazing career for which I’m grateful, his response is indicative of careerism & moral weakness at the flag officer level. Generals facilitated in discharging & forcing out tens of thousands of service members & pushed an experimental drug after it had been shown to cause negative side effects. (See Karolina Stancik & Drew Outstanding) I ask that House Armer Services Committee Republicans hold a series of hearings to point out & fix problems from the VAX mandate & ensure it never happens again. DoD leaders should also take a hard look in the mirror to assess their part in this debacle that continues to weaken the force. Finally, please sign the DMA petition if you believe these leaders must be held accountable. Militaryaccountability.com

"Good leadership traits are taught by good mentors..." is a maxim I'm learning ever more in my career. This article is well worth reading!

Today, we proudly honor and recognize the journey of our veteran leaders who have transitioned their commitment to service from the battlefield to the boardroom. Their journey reminds us that leadership forged in service is about more than titles—it’s a reflection of resilience, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to a purpose beyond oneself. At Naible, these values are at the heart of everything we do. As we work to shape the future of AI, we are guided by the same principles our veterans embody: a mission-driven focus that empowers us to push boundaries and build tools that elevate and expand human potential. Together, we’re not just advancing technology; we’re honoring the spirit of service by creating solutions that serve humanity. #VeteransDay #LeadershipForgedInService #HonoringHeroes #MissionDrivenLeadership #ServiceToInnovation #VeteranLeaders #AIForGood #NaibleProud #Innovation #ThankYouVeterans #BuildingTheFuture #HonorAndCommitment

The chain reaction of paying it forward often starts with one person, and in Aggieland, we are fortunate to have so many forward-thinking individuals willing to assume this role for the betterment of students, faculty and staff at Texas A&M University. In the latest issue of Heritage magazine, my president’s letter focuses on the influential role our philanthropic leaders play in demonstrating the life-changing impact of giving and encouraging others to believe in their ability to follow suit. Highlighting several shining examples of donors who inspire, this issue illustrates the unique ways that philanthropy, specifically planned gifts, can present opportunities for people from all walks of life to leave a personal legacy—one that influences Aggies not only to succeed but also to invest in the success of others for generations to come.
