1) I didn't see any homosexuals in the higher ranks. I don't think this is common.

2) Women are still never seen in the infantry, which I was.

There is a long "chicken or egg" conversation to be had here, and frankly this conversation needs to be had for government as well. The US Military is currently undergoing rapid degradation in terms of fitness standards and combat readiness. In October, the Army will switch over to a new unified one-size-fits-all fitness standard that is adjusted to the mean (this includes a 21-minute two mile minimum...). Other branches are already there or are following, even the Marine Corps.

The problem is that the US Military isn't getting enough recruits anymore and vast swathes of the country don't even qualify intellectually let alone physically and this has gotten worse and worse over the years. The military has to maintain its numbers, and the higher-ups would argue that their falling quality just reflects the falling quality of the US population (this can be argued for other failing institutions as well).

I think that all officers above Lt. Colonel are thoroughly compromised. They're either homosexuals, blackmail victims, cryptos or some other form of deviant

No way. I think the Marine Corps and Army actually have a lot of good higher command that are legacy of Afghanistan and Iraq but they are slowly getting phased out and replaced by peacetime soldiers looking to make a name for themselves.

According to Kay Griggs it's all hush hush.

I very much doubt they're going to be openly gay.

That's pretty fucked but political maneuvering is an issue with the higher echelons and always has been, this is nothing new. Sex scandals were an issue with pilots and SOCOM too since they wife swap and act like frat boys. It actually goes all the way to figures like McArthur who had affairs in the Phillipines and was only kept afloat thanks to his success in WW2. To be bluntly honest, this is nothing new and not cause for alarm in the same vein as the general degradation of the armed forces. And even that mirrors other peacetimes like the 90s where the military was gutted and combat readiness was in general just shitty.

A bigger issue is the cultural and population decay of the USA as a whole. The military is just a reflection of that.

Did you watch any of her interviews?

Yeah, she made some pretty salacious claims that she seems to indicate are hearsay from her husband when he was drunk or telling stories. If her husband was like most high ranking former grunts, then he is a blowhard- I don't mean that in a negative way, moreso that we just speak in hyperbole. Maybe there is a smaller grain of truth to this story in whatever battalion he's from but I'm willing to bet he's exaggerating because it's just second nature.

I am good friends and family with many high ranking officers and most of them are actually really wholesome and sterile/prude, and what she is describing is out of character and frankly too clandestine. I will say to her credit that political favors get really weird past the rank of Colonel though. Once you're a General, you are in a social class of your own so maybe there is something there.

I can only guesstimate the veracity of her story. To me it rung true but obviously I easily could be wrong. If it weren't for the whole Epstein-Cohn-(some other blackmailing jew)-ad infinitum (Protocol 4), I wouldn't be so willing to believe her.
