wasn't a high ranking officer. He was a Chief Master Sargent in the US Air Force and a lifer. He was generally a conservative and his politics could best be described as aligned with Archie Bunker. Even so, he despised people like Donald Trump and would have been royally pissed to be ordered to sit through speeches by morons like Trump and Hegseth. He hated incompetence. Even though I miss him daily I'm glad he is not around to see the shit show this country has become and the idiot fuckup in the White House.
