1. Trump hires or praises Individual.
2. Fanboys rhetorically worship &/or fellate Individual.
3. Individual separates from Trump.
4. Fanboys turn on Individual like pack of rabid ferrets.
5. Rinse and repeat

I can't get through the paywall to read it and based on his past I have no desire to read it.

He is a globalist. If he was referring to the left's identity politics, it doesn't matter. This is all over twitter as a gotcha to Trump and how Mattis really wants the R's to join in impeachment.

Twitter is a shithole. I avoid it like the plague. It's stacked strongly toward the left.

news flash: trump was a lying prick as a businessman and still is as president. he is dangerous and the uninformed blind hypocritical (those who call dems liars who do not see that in trump)trumpsters will ignore logic and truth to support this a hole.
yes, leftists are dangerous too. dont accept that in either party.

You missed a step.

1. Trump hires or praises Individual.
2. Fanboys rhetorically worship &/or fellate Individual.
3. Trump finds out individual is globalist scum.
4. Individual separates from Trump.
5. Fanboys turn on Individual like pack of rabid ferrets.
6. Rinse and repeat

What part of this do you disagree with?



"We all know that we’re better than our current politics. Tribalism must not be allowed to destroy our experiment."

This could have been written by Hillary Clinton; it's part of the leftist narrative that our CURRENT political landscape is the problem. When Obama was using the IRS as an attack dog everything was fine. When Eric Holder was in charge of the DOJ we were all lovey-dovey. It's Trump's fault that Veritas videoed democrat operatives bragging about breaking the law to get Hillary elected, and we should go back to civilized politics like when Clarence Thomas was nominated or George Bush wanted old people to eat dog food.

I can't read the entire article but if that's the tone it took I'm not interested; I can go to Reddit and read the same thing.

Most responses in this thread interpret the article one way. That "way" is different from your opinion and the way you interpret it. With that being said, if this General is unable to make a clear point, he needs to GTFO. Not sure how the troops he commanded would be able to determine what his orders were, or meant, without the ability to clearly write a statement. That's a pretty bad trait at his level.

Another disgruntled former employee

With all the violent rhetoric in his past his guns should be taken away, sounds dangerous.

It’s sad to see this board turn on so many people they once cheered. Mattis was celebrated as “Mad Dog” when he took the job. Then wires got crossed with Trump, and now he is persona non grata. It’s the same with so many others before him.

As I type this, the Pentagon is probably more worried about trans soldiers comforts; more than defense.


I can say this, with very few exceptions, that folks above the grade of O-6 are far more interested in SJW outcomes than they are warfighting and mission accomplishment.

Even those who are able to keep their eye on the ball, so to speak, are unavoidably dragged into all kinds of pseudo-scientific social experimentation, political wrangling and PC bullshite to render them ineffective or worse.

Of course, my experience may be limited and that limited experience my invalidate my analysis. (But it isn't and doesn't. )

At the end of the day...in a perfect globalist utopia... the people who control everything aren't elected by the public.. they would be the new royalty.

They would be able to conquer the world without actually using armies. The European royals of several hundreds of years ago....would be very jealous if they could see how the globalist royals of today want to conquer the world.
