Trump's Military Appointments are for a reason.

I'm hearing some growing concerns from the left about the number of high ranking ex-military brass appointed by Trump. Some have actually suggested that this may a start to a full scale military takeover and the beginning of martial law and a Trump dictatorship.

I believe that Trump's motives for his actions are actually in this country's best interest. If you are looking for someone who is resolute, focused, and not in a position to be bought or turned...look to a military professional with years of training for these moments. They will get the job done.

With the appointments of Gen. Mattis and Gen. Kelly, each a Marine, also sends a message to our enemies not to frick with The United States or we will administer the worst asskicking of your life. Of course I'm biased...OORAH!!!!

You are talking about people who actually think Obama has done a good job. These are people who don't know their arse from a hole in the ground.

WSJ opined that Trumps appointment of Mattis and Flynn could threaten civilian rule, while ignoring the three private sector appointments he has already made.

This cabinet is a diverse mix of political, private sector, and military leaders.

It is meaningless in the context of his administration too, since a junta by definition would have taken the power by force instead of being elected.

While most of the population has not served, You are grossly ignorant if you believe that Liberals serve anywhere close to the numbers of conservatives.

Additionally, Trump has never started a war but Hillary did. Libya was her policy.

Rather a General tha Jeh Johnson. Hell he is a lawyer. No offense but would you rather have a General or a Civil Law expert running Homeland Security?

Actually you should use "Il Duce" instead of Hitler, You would still be wrong.

But at least that would show you knew what the term fascist meant
