We are not allowed to win. It might hurt their feelings or something.
Keane is an open border globalist. No way!!!
It is just a fact that after 8 years of The Clown EVERY officer with a star on his shoulder boards was libtard approved. A handful had spoken out (like Flynn) so Trump picked them. Now, 2 years in, there are general and flag officers whom Trump has promoted and so there is now a crop that can be promoted over the 0bama generals. So, naturally, these 0bama generals and admirals are still there but being replace and now they have a natural alliance with the Deep State.
No more swamp clowns. All their we are super smart and have super smart deep thinking strategic policies is BS.
If all these wars have such then introduce a declaration of war, pass it, then fund it.
Let Assad deal with these animals.
Actually, I think he should pick one of the freepers on here that are all for pulling our troops out of Syria and Afghanistan. These ‘experts’ (most of whom have probably never stepped foot in the Middle East) should be able to do that job quite well.
People need to wake up and smell the coffee!! Yes, I like President Donald J. Trump. That does not mean that I will slavishly follow him over the cliff. On these foreign policy decisions he is dead wrong!! On this issue he is out of his league and needs to listen to his advisers.
On a side note, I had to crack up watching Nazi and Chucky almost well up in tears talking about the departure of Gen Mattis. I guarantee these two probably can’t stand him but will take any moment to preen for the camera how Trump is ruining this country. Gen Mattis will be a big loss and will be missed, however no one is irreplaceable. There are a number of good candidates to get however they will all counsel him that this is a bad move playing into Russia and Turkey’s hands. He needs to pick a good Defense Secretary and quietly pull back on doing this. President Trump is not making any friends in the military by doing this. The military wants to complete the job, not pull out knowing they will be causing a new mess for future soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines.
Why not Colonel Allen West?
Afghanistan. The way to deal with it is to just leave with a simple message. Mess with us and we nuke you. We will irradiate the country. And no, I don’t give a damn about surrounding countries; let them put the pressure on that shithole to settle down; or else.
Leave Tom Cotton where he ls.
It is a great idea to get the hell out of the middle east and defend our own real estate.
I would say Keane would be the front runner since he’s the Fox News analyst.
Find a Lt. Colonel hated by his superiors. That will be the right guy. :)
Somehow I don’t see Trump knuckling under to someone he hires.
I’d take Rand Paul to run the DoD than the usual bought-off neocon globalists, thank you.
We need to build a permananent military base in Northern Iraq to protect the Kurds, Yazidhis and Christians, set up a new state and damn the Turks straight to hell.
Use the base to collect intel and fly armored ordinance in to set up a small Kurdish state. Make a runway long enough for B-52s.
Look, generals are soldiers. Ultimately, to a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. This is not bad, just reality. That’s why you have a department of STATE too. Even the pacifistic Jefferson had to send our ENTIRE armed forces to Tripoli to beat the crap out of the pirates.
But they don’t have to stay there. I’m even in favor of greatly reducing—though not removing-—the number of bases in Germany.
Pick me, I’m available. I totally support President Trump’s decisions & I will be happy to implement them.
My dad served in Korea :-)
A hundred plus billion US dollars and twice that many Saudi dollars are what got us ISIS, not premature anything.
