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 JC Milley isn’t in the planning room; Milley’s been replaced by Wilbur Ross (until he’s needed).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.

The link I provided contains an hour long interview with Diana West. She is an expert on Pentagon issues and they discuss the issue with the generals. Bottom line is their role under a Trump administration is diminished as a contingency and not the primary geopolitical force. Trump’s primary geopolitical force is economic.

The generals don’t like the contingency role. They want to force geopolitical issues through military might.

This random sample of High Heel decorators are the survivors of the Obama Military Purge. 197 Generals fired during 8 years. And these members of the clown show survived.

Everything Trump has said publically has been weighed by the Legal Staff inside the White House.

I am not in favor of putting Active Military Seal or Special Ops teams in. Simply use the ATF and FBI. Dig up Janet Reno, she'll show everyone how good these guys are at shooting women through doors, they also have recent door kicking experience with warrants served in the early morning hours on old men incapable of putting up a fight. Now let's see how they handle 23 year old kids, that don't have a clue about what they are fighting for.

Literally is right. Generals lead. They don't finger point and blame like the draft dodging bitch boy.

That's right, he knows more about war strategy than the generals.

When will you all learn you've been conned. A bunch of suckers on the streets. It's sad really.

Look who is a fan of our Military now. Mr. Lib, who has spent his entire existence hating them is now their biggest cheerleader. This is what TDS does. Completely flip the script of the mentally challenged.

Geopolitics is more than just military might and wars. It’s also economic. I guarantee Trump knows more about world economics than the generals. The generals don’t like being a contingency for Trump’s primary geopolitical initiatives which are leveraged through economics not military. Generals and Neocons hate that diminished role.

You are exactly correct Magician2. And Afghanistan, and the middle east, and forming Space Force. And primarily using economic power to bring forces to bear. They all put the MIC in the cheap seats at the wedding and they arent happy at all.

Thats not what he is saying. He is saying the generals offer military solution ab and c. And Trump says what about using China to cut Kims balls off, or how about we threaten his personal safety, options not in the military toolbox that makes them impotent and they dont like it one bit.

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
