The truth of the matter is neither Dunford nor Dempsey or any of the Joint Chiefs have the guts to speak up for themselves or for the nation they defend.

The brass would rather cover their asses than look out for our National Security.

Talk about complete and total failure of leadership.

Puts the Joint Chiefs in an untenable spot. Obama is their boss and if they do what one would expect, they are gone and replaced with a more pliable successor.

Should a potentially good one commit Hari Kari and leave a bigger empty void or bite his tongue in hopes of an opportunity?

Many of the bigwigs have been purged so it may not make much difference (ala Hillary's comment) at this point, but if there's anyone decent up there, I prefer them to be branded a coward and remain in place.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

We need desperately to spend on research and engineering for our military. Spending on things like the Iraq army are not going to get it.
