Commentary from retired generals and admirals are a dime a dozen and worth less than that dime. Active duty general officers can have their opinions BUT are required to keep them to themselves. Since Trump has the authority to call out active and guard troops to quell civil disorder or insurrection, the generals when given legal orders are required to snap to, salute, and march forward sharply. Too many of today’s general officers have the mindset of a George McClellan, or Douglas MacArthur who believe that they are in charge and not the civilian chain of command of which the president is at the top. Both were fired and lucky they weren’t cashiered, and both were democrats.
Douglas MacArthur was a Republican.
