I’d pay to hear Sharpton try to say “apoplectic”.

My point is that it is easier to find already posted articles if the actual titles are used.

Obama can “fire” a general officer by forcing him to retire but he can’t punish him unless he wants him court-martialed.

Article 88 of the UCMJ, “contempt toward elected officials” COULD be used against an outspoken G.O., but that would still cause a public spectacle.

Article 88 is sometimes waved like a club in officers’ faces (mine, for telling my CO exactly what I thought of Clinton as POTUS), but it hasn’t resulted in a conviction in over a century IIRC.

And if the higher ups pressure a rater to give the offending G.O. an unsat efficiency report, then “undue command influence” becomes an issue.

American generals....who’s got faith in these Obama, brown noses? Obama has dumped the good guys and has replaced them with his clones.

“Obama’s handler is Valerie Jarrett. Hillary’s handler is Huma Abedin.”

Valerie Jarrett’s enforcer is Moochelle.

Valerie Jarrett’s handlers are Shiite mullahs in Iran.

Huma Abedin’s handlers are Sunnis in Hamas and Hezbollah.

Hillary’s handler was Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton’s handlers were the Chinese PLA.

Obama is simply conflicted about ordering infidel white Christian pilots to bomb dark skinned barbaric Muslim jihadists.

His buddy Erdogan would never forgive him. He is between Iraq and a hard place. :)
