Your military is an all-volunteer force that serves to protect our security and way of life, but Service members are more than a fighting force. They are leaders, humanitarians and your fellow Americans. Get to know more about the men and women who serve, who they are, what they do, and why they do it.

He’s says the same predictable phrase like, “that’s not hyperbole”, “you can clap for that” ( you don’t ask for applause). Talking about how he was appointed to the naval academy when he wasn’t. Talking about his son. This is the cadets day not his. He’s an old man not a leader. And yes it’s clear the crowd doesn’t want him there.

The Bandwagon Fallacy (also, Argument from Common Sense, Argumentum ad Populum): The fallacy of arguing that because "everyone," "the people," or "the majority" (or someone in power who has widespread backing) supposedly thinks or does something, it must therefore be true and right. The Big Brain/Little Brain Fallacy (also, the Führerprinzip; Mad Leader Disease): A not-uncommon but extreme example of the Blind Loyalty Fallacy below, in which a tyrannical boss, military commander, or religious or✳️ cult-leader tells followers "Don't think with your little brains (the brain in your head), but with your BIG brain (mine)." Trauma bonding is a complex psychological connection that can form between someone who is experiencing abuse and their abuser. It can involve unhealthy attachments, feelings of loyalty, and a desire for the abuser's behavior to change. Trauma bonds can develop over time and can be hard to break. Signs of trauma bonding include: Justifying or defending the abuser's actions Covering for the abuser Isolating from others, especially those who are trying to help Becoming defensive when someone brings up the abuse Not wanting to leave the situation

Trauma bonding is a type of Stockholm syndrome that can occur in abusive relationships. It's characterized by a pattern of abuse followed by remorseful behavior from the abuser, which can lead to a strong emotional bond between the victim and the abuser. Some common characteristics of trauma bonding include: Love bombing The abuser showers the victim with affection and charisma at the beginning of the relationship to "hook" them. Justifying abuse The victim may rationalize the abuse as a way to self-soothe or reconcile with the situation. Resignation The victim may develop people-pleasing behaviors to avoid conflict and feel safe in the relationship. This is also known as the fawn trauma response or "please-and-appease". Poor boundaries The victim may become entangled with the abuser, which can lead to confusion about their own views, opinions, feelings, and mannerisms. Over time, this can cause the victim to lose their sense of self and identity. Dependence The victim may become attached to the abuser and feel sympathy for them, making it difficult to leave the relationship. This can lead to a cycle of repeated abuseTrauma bonding can be caused by a combination of fear, manipulation, and intermittent kindness and love. It can lead to people becoming isolated from their previous support systems and dependent on the group for validation and a sense of belonging. This can create cognitive dissonance, where the person may recognize that their abuser's behavior is harmful but still feel emotionally attached to them. To justify this attachment, they may rationalize the abuse by believing it's due to external factors like stress or substance abuse.

A cult of personality arises when a leader is represented as larger-than-life through imagery and words of uncritical praise and flattery. Propaganda is a common vehicle used to help create personality cults. Leaders are often depicted as superhuman, courageous, wise, and incapable of error. What is the narcissist cult of personality? The narcissist claims to be infallible, superior, talented, skilful, omnipotent, and omniscient. He often lies and confabulates to support these unfounded claims. Within his cult, he expects awe, admiration, adulation, and constant attention commensurate with his outlandish stories and assertions. Malignant narcissism is a psychological disorder that describes a person who has extreme narcissistic and psychopathic traits. People with malignant narcissism have an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. They may also experience paranoia, aggression, manipulation, and abuse without remorse.Some characteristics of malignant narcissism include: Self-absorption Lack of concern for others Fantasies about success, power, beauty, and brilliance Inability to handle criticism Lashing out if slighted Taking advantage of others Malignant narcissists may use manipulative means or violence to enhance their own sense of wellbeing. They may also undermine families and organizations in which they are involved.

Hopefully these graduates wont have to experience the devastating emotions of the service members that diligently served and died in Afghanistan for over 20 years, only to be ordered home, forced to leave those faithful Afghani people who risked their lives helping us, in exchange for a promise of safety and security in America for them and their families. Instead of keeping our word, we showed them (as well as our allies, that America, (under this president), no longer honors our promises, nor cares about our own military, many who questioned whether their service and sacrifice had any value at all. That entire ordeal was the biggest failure our "Commander in Chief" has ever put our country and military service men and women through, sending them into despair and questioning whether their decision to "serve and defend" the Constitution of the United States of America. That was a kick in the teeth to all who have served, knowing that what occurred was nothing short of abandoning our mission, leaving people who trusted us, and even America citizens, while arming the "enemy" with equipment and artillery enough to turn around and use it again our own people, as well as eliminating all of the Afghani people who we betrayed. That is what I thought about throughout this very odd graduation "speech".

Here is a thought: We have a President that is totally unaware that the United States of America is not a Democracy, it is far from a Democracy. The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic and it is high time that Fox and all other media outlets educate themselves to that fact also and start calling out this fact.

Look up the lies he told on the truck driver who collided with his first wife when she and his daughter died. The driver was stone sober and rolled his truck trying to avoid Biden's wife who pulled out in front of him. BIden lied on that man and said he was drunk to get votes. He told the lie for years, mostly around election time. If you weren't a shill for Biden you'd realize he dishonors the memory of his son every time he tells the lie about how he died in Iraq.
