Military Minute 14 Feb 24

I’m Papa Penguin and this is your Military Minute.

The Senate managed to push through a funding bill that includes more than $90 billion for Ukraine and Israel. You know how much they allotted for our Afghani allies that actually fought in America’s longest war? Zero.

Hey Senate.

Update on the private disguised as a SGTMAJ. SGTMAJ Jorge Garcia’s is currently charged with possession of 11 grams of meth with intent to distribute, unauthorized purchases on his travel card, promoting criminal activities online, and making false official statements.

Go Army, beat meth.

And in yet another scratch your head moment for the Army, Fort Liberty is a pile of trash. The company responsible for emptying dumpsters allegedly has equipment issues so trash has been piling up for weeks. The Garrison Commander,Col Wilcox, and Deputy Garrison commander Dr. Kevin Greiss, are confused on how to solve the problem.

It’s ok for troops to live next to literal piles of garbage but don’t let SGTMAJ Seymore observe them walking on the grass.

And that’s your military minute.
