If they're just sounding the alarm to knock off the talk about use of troops against American citizens, I don't have a huge problem with it. If it's another part of an attempted takedown, then I'm concerned.

They are afraid of being trashed by the media. Millie didn't know he did anything wrong till the media told him he did, and he doesn't have the guts to stand up to the media.

They got tired of acting like they supported a reality show scam artist.

I do not know a whole lot about the upper echelon of the commissioned ranks but it seems to me that it is a folly of arse kissing. It seems to me in order to reach that level one has to sell out their both their morals and their colleagues for promotion. (for at least a certain few). Couple this with the infiltration of SJWs into all facets of American life this is the end result.

Trump is pulling American troops and treasure out of a lot of shite-holes.

Obama has weakened the pentagon. He rotted it out from within.

There are incentives to turning on Trump. The left will do anything and everything to bring Trump down. They can’t beat him any other way.

Is it beyond your ability to believe that people see and hear the idiocy coming out Trump’s mouth as dangerous and a threat our constitution? It’s not 4D chess. You aren’t ‘woke.’ Reasonable people can disagree about politics.

First. One must be a politician to become a general. The number of stars is directly proportional to their political skills and not their military or patriotic prowess.

Second. Life doesn’t end after military retirement. Look at all the corporations that are going full out liberal. If you want the job, RULE #1: “The boss is always right.” Bend the knee, cash the checks, and live in a gated community away from peasants.

Establishment, globalist, warhawks who don’t like Trump because he’s literally the opposite of all of that.

quote:

President Trump’s preferred use of economic warfare makes the Pentagon’s role diminished. Instead of punching North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, President Trump hits the checkbook of Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping. The primary has become the contingency. The value of James Mattis replaced by the effectiveness of Robert Lighthizer. JC Milley isn’t in the planning room; Milley’s been replaced by Wilbur Ross (until he’s needed).

In the Trump era the President is telling the Pentagon where and when to position; and asks them for ‘contingency’ preparation. Decades of Pentagon-centric foreign policy is lessened by an entirely new geopolitical approach based on economic strategy.

Obama required litmus tests that these guys all passed. They were never in trump's camp.

after a life in the military you dont have much money, and when you realize you have to find a way to live off of soc security you will gladly whore yourself out to anybody for money

all it will take is for one to face the consequences of their anti american actions it will stop with a quickness, until that happens its a retirement fund they will exploit
