What about Gen Charles Flynn, traitor Mike Flynn's

[NewDayOranges]

Brother - his involvement in the Jan 6 activities as the highest-ranking Military person (who didn't do squat to protect the Capitol area) needs to be either ruled out or confirmed...

Has anybody come across any info on his whereabouts and doings that day?

1. I don't understand why they haven't revoked Flynn's pension.....

The worship of the military by Americans is not Patriotic it enables our endless wars.

3. For the same reason no other criminal loses there's...

...unless the crime was related to the job providing the pension.

Flynn have never been charged with a crime related to his military service.

And I'll observe that "endless wars" are a matter of civilian policy, not military.

7. Ok, makes sense and I agree that our war mongering is a civilian decision however ...

the public's view that not supporting war (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghan) is unpatriotic perpetuates them.

I definately "support the troops" and the VA system but not because I consider active duty military and veterans "heroes" but because they rather "victims" and deserve lifetime support because of it. They exploit young people as early as HS and it is wrong. Of course, I guess we have to have someone to fight these dumbass wars. If they had to use 30+ people to fight their wars there would be a lot more pushback or more than likely mercenary armies.

There are no "winners" in war...

The war will end.
The leaders will shake hands.
The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son.
That girl will wait for her beloved husband.
And those children will wait for their heroic father.
I don't know who sold our homeland.
But I saw who paid the price.

That girl will wait for her beloved husband

(Yeah, I know, it’s age restricted, and you have to sign in to listen to the tune. Didn’t used to be that way, but it’s a sign of the times, I suppose.)

11. Thank you - I hadn't heard it. "No I'm not going to 'roll with it' this time". ☮

2. Probably Hard to prove that inaction was part of the conspiracy.....

Unless they got text messages or other communications that implicate him as part of the plan.

4. Unless you're aware of an order to intervene in the Capitol that Charles Flynn disobeyed...

...I'm not clear what your complaint is. Do you want military leaders to intervene in civilian affairs unilaterally?

[NewDayOranges]

5. Didn't Speaker Pelosi call the Pentagon for help

Before finally reaching out to the Maryland Governor who deployed Maryland's Nat'l Guard?

At least that's how I remember the order of things that day...

6. The Speaker of the House doesn't have the authority to issue orders to the military.

[NewDayOranges]

8. I didn't say she had authority to give orders to the

Military - I said she called for help from the Pentagon or some other local entity/office BEFORE calling the Maryland Governor!

I thought that local military entity/office was under the control of Gen Charles Flynn that day...

Mike Flynn's brother seems to have a lot of defenders...

[brooklynite]

10. Doesn't matter who Pelosi called...

The authority to issue orders to the military rests with the President or, at a minimum, the SecDef.

12. Yes there was an issue with Mike Flynns brother that day

I can't remember the details I hope we find out. and soon!
