Newsroom commando Ralph Peters cashiers self
By Russ Vaughn

Cashiering is a historical military ritual in which an officer who has betrayed his oath or failed in his duty is required to stand before the assembled troops and have all symbols of rank and service stripped from his uniform, to demonstrate most forcefully the disgrace he has brought upon himself and possibly them.  His cap is knocked off and crushed underfoot; epaulettes or shoulder boards are ripped from his tunic; brass buttons are cut away; all medals, awards, and symbols of rank and past service are torn off and dropped in the dirt; and finally, his formal sword is broken over the knee of a fellow officer, with the two pieces scornfully cast at the disgraced officer's feet.  It is a rite of personal and professional degradation, purposely intended to convey as much contempt and evoke as much shame as possible, to deter other officers from bringing such dishonor upon themselves and their services.

This weekend, retired lieutenant colonel Ralph Peters went on CNN's dubiously titled Reliable Sources and, in the presence of the show's serially unreliable host, Brian Stelter, and all those unfortunate souls in airport waiting areas across the nation being force-fed this liberal Sunday-morning drivel, cashiered himself.  It appears that fulminating Trump Derangement Syndrome brought this former Fox News military analyst to perform this sad ceremony.

To his credit, he did a bang-up job of it.

light colonel Peters, hero to Usual Suspect NTers, here.

Commie voting, muslim loving Brennan is his kind of career government service type.

His only battle, was storming the walls of CNN, to deploy the McCain - Graham tactic, agreeing with the democrat position, to gain bipartisan love.

"People supporting Trump are radicals.  These ... couch potato anarchists."

He caught us guys.  Ralph caught the Tater(s).

Peters is a hyperventilating azzhole.

Too much extremist talk on both sides. We all need to work just to get what's best for the country and unify it. In my opinion, despite the press and others, I think we are doing as well as can be expected with this new administration and I don't take a lot of polls that would say different, that seriously.

[Silver Pines]

Lol, wow. 

Ralph Peters aside, this Vaughn guy’s butthurt is raging.  He writes like Peters attacked his mama.

Looks like American Thinker is in the running to be another Breitbart.

Thanks for putting it in a neat package with a bow on it @Frank Cannon!

That's a noble and beneficient thought, Tom, but those days are over.

It's never gonna happen again.... unless...
... one side utterly crushes and defeats the other.

And the "crushin'" is NOT going to occur by means that are... "nonviolent".

Not provoking, just my sights into the future.

IIRC,he was a tread head,but by the time he went to battle he was a field grade officer in a staff job.

He is/was a pretty good author,too. I read and enjoyed a book he wrote a decade or more ago. Can't remember the title,now.

You're too kind.

When he was on Fox Peters always reminded me of Sergeant Major Dickerson.  You look at his face and you think to yourself, there is a guy in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.
