"at the end of the day, you know, it doesn't only matter whether or not you win, it matters how you win."

I guess he never heard what Vince Lombardi said: "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" -- this is especially true when fighting terrorists.

Lombardi’s wife said in her husband autobiography that he was misquoted by the press. He said “Trying to win is everything.”

Perhaps the General meant the ends do not justify the means.

President Trump should bust this clown to Private during the first couple of days.

Once upon a time, American values meant vanquishing your enemies.

Yeah, he was also a serious Christian. He wasn't for indiscriminant killing of non-combatants.

And when you murder innocents, you just create more terrorists. The Brits found that out in Boston about 240 years ago.

That’s exactly right, carpet-bombing terrorists is against American values.

Values like efficiency, frugality, and know-how. Why waste a bunch of big heavy ordinance when you could get Joe Blow Warplane Industries to start producing A-10s again and use the Warthog Grunt of Death to take out moojies?

An aircraft like that could be churned out like Ford SUVs, take a licking and keep on ticking, and turn entire cloud banks into buzzing metal destruction on fairly precise targets, including gangs of hadjis.

We’re all doomed.

I'm curious of what the general will say when, for example, an American city or two is hit with an Iranian made missile with a Pak nuke from some unassuming shipping vessel off the coast with an ISIS crew.

Add him to the list of things to be done the first week of office for Trump or Cruz. The forced retirement list.

Our government and military are paralyzed by political correctness.

We don’t seem to have real generals any more. Just career pansies.

The general would have never made it past Lt. in WWII.

This is why we need to get rid of many of the panty waist Generals and Admirals that are now populating the Pentagon!

This lightweight would have never made it through WWII

Probably need to give the General a can of paint and a brush and he can run around over there painting “Go or No Go” on the people so we know who to bomb!

Wars are won by the side that kills all of the other side.
It’s better to exterminate ISIS than allow them to immigrate here and become the problem that Europe has.
