I believe you’re right, I’ve only heard President Trump praise our serving military.

Maroon

Wasn’t he the guy who put epaulets on flight suits? The guys called them Elvis suits and threw them away as soon as he wasn’t in charge

I am not up on the other guy but criticizing McShame was appropriate!

He didn’t even criticize him. He simply failed to genuflect to him as some kind of hero when all he did is suck at what he did and get captured.

And as for him being a “hero” once he was a POW - I’ve seen the pictures of McCain when he was released compared to the pictures of other POWs. Guess which of them looks healthy and well fed?

I believe you’re thinking of retired AF Gen McPeak, he tried to change the dress uniform and he is a maroon also.

well, i would not wish to be a POW ....
but
McShame really made a fool of hisself as a Senator, especially in his latter years

I am ALMOST at the point of supporting something I’ve always opposed....mandatory retirement ages for anyone in high-power positions in government
(McShame, Feinstein, Ruth Ginsburg, Pelousy are just a few that come to mind....)

Being in the military and being a jerk aren’t mutually exclusive.

Seems to me that retired Gen McChrystal must combat his desire to mythologize McCain’s and Adm. William McRaven’s history.

Military officers who underperform after overpromising should be subject to rebuke from the Commander in Chief.

This is not a new phenomenon in US history. ALL military officers serve at the pleasure of the Commander in Chief.

Once they incur displeasure, life becomes much different.

Running for something General?

**********************************

I’m thinking it might more be the case of the general running *from* something.

“Retired Gen. McChrystal: Trump’s attacks on military service members are ‘disturbing’”

This is the guy whose wife told him to attack General Robert E. Lee, so in recent days he publicly attacked General Lee. The purpose was to rehabilitate himself (McChrystal).

I have no use for him.

I find it more disturbing that McChrystal and others have decided to publically engage in obvious democrat party orchestrated political stunts.

They do have to be political. In fact, despite being a democrat, Obama fired him over comments he made.

I'm betting that vast vast majority of the guys & gals on active duty are loving the way our President is unapologetically Putting America First.

I’m betting you’re right on.

Our military took an awful hit from the eight years of 0bama and his pathetic administration.

McChrystal is ignoring that McRaven attacked Trump first and that McCain and Trump were in a pissing contest.

Interesting that all are “McSomethings”
