It is high time we heard from our military commanders. Our men and women in uniform are being humiliated, but the Pentagon brass sits mute. The administration's inability to "degrade and destroy ISIS," or even to "contain" the terror plague, as President Obama so inappropriately claimed just last Friday, is an embarrassment.
While inept guidance from Obama and his shrinking circle of confidants has caused headline-worthy failures in Syria, pushback from military commanders has been silenced by a distrustful White House that's jealous of control and willing to penalize those who stray from the Oval Office narrative.
President Obama told graduates of the Coast Guard Academy that denying climate change is a "dereliction of duty." Isn't blindly following the flawed and politically skewed directives of the White House also a dereliction of duty.
The failure of our effort to arm compliant rebels in Syria -- $50 million spent to produce six soldiers -- has made our military a laughing stock, but is the tip of the iceberg. Continued half-measures in arming our allies or providing critical air support has hobbled our attack on a deadly foe. Recently, the White House announced it would send in dozens (but fewer than 50) advisors, as a renewed show of resolve - but vowed they would not engage in combat. Fifty soldiers! We're not trying to button down Disneyland; there are an estimated 50,000 to 200,000 ISIS fighters in Syria, and they control about half the country...

Obama has decimated morale, removed good leaders , planted his supporters, forced the LGBT agenda BS and cut funding.
This what the left does.. it’s a cancer and everything it touches it destroys.
Aside from Valerie Jarrett and the black lives movement, who does he have a good relationship with?
Mooch and Lurch. Lurch has a good relationship with everybody, it's his lifework .... as a charley-boy and tennis bum.
And Jeh, and the Communist Party. Don't count out Jeh. </s>
There is no American “fight” against ISIS, not in the sense of destroying it. Instead, we are engaged in a minimal maintenance program to allow ISIS to remain strong enough to bring down Assad’s government but not let ISIS gain “too much” power. Our game is called Duplicity. By contrast, Russia is trying to destroy ISIS and defend its ally.
Obama fired all the brass who didn’t agree with his agenda to gut the military. That’s when the cowards in Congress should have impeached him.
Many Americans will die because Congressmen put their political future ahead of the safety of the country.
Don’t put it on the military. Congress should remove him from office.
Criticizing president dumass would be a career killer for active duty Generals and Admirals but I’ve heard lots of retired officers criticizing him.
Some historians have concluded that Deng Xiaping, the premier of China post-Mao, actually sent the PLA into Vietnam (Sino-Vietnamese War) knowing that the PLA would lose. His goal was to get the policital upper hand on some of the more truculant pro-Mao generals. I believe Obama has been doing the same thing with his pointless missions and Rules-of-Engagement. One Marxist is pretty much like another.
Does it really impact the military if the president is a mental defective who regularly dumps on our men and women in uniform?
Our brave Military is under the control of a narcissist that has NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE. Pray for their safety.
