Full title:

Former SEAL Carl Higbie: ‘If Hillary Clinton Is the Commander-in-chief, Half the Military Is Gonna Get Out’

Friday morning’s guests on Breitbart News Daily included former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, author of Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL’s Mission to Save the American Dream, and the new book Enemies, Foreign and Domestic: A SEAL’s Story.

SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon asked Higbie if the major problem faced by the American military through the Obama years was a shortage of logistics, weapons, and equipment, or “a problem of will, of taking the fight to the enemy, of having the back of those people, like yourself, who are on the tip of the spear.”

“I think the problem is not the men. The problem is not the budgeting. The problem is the direction and allocation of assets,” Higbie replied.

“Overseas in Iraq, I’ve seen – we left Humvees behind, and weapons, and tools. Everything you could imagine. "We’ve spent money so poorly that if we had somebody come in there with a business background, like Donald Trump, to help reorganize and make sure we’re allocating the right assets to the right things, we could do three times as much with a third of the money.”"

The American military has been mismanaged and greatly weakened by the Obama administration.

If Clinton is elected our military will be destroyed.

When I left Iraq there was a lot of empty space in our containers. I asked why we weren’t bringing more stuff home (tools, furniture etc.) and was told we didn’t need it.

Just for spite I filled my platoon’s containers to the top. Anything we couldn’t fit I destroyed as much as I could.

I knew Iraq would go to crap once we were gone.

no military = no country, that's the NWO's obvious plan for the US.

Instead of those in the US military resigning, the US military should take control of DC and put it back under the control of the people of America.

SHE WANTS YOU TO QUIT!!! SHE HATES THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE U.S. MILITARY!!

What would happen if, as per that little section in the U.S. Constitution that nobody so far has had the nuts to do, that third or so that talks of quitting, did what that little section in the U.S. Constitution says that the military can do?

And if Comrade Sanders in commander in chief then the military will have to readjust the coordinates towards the enemy of the US in the White House.

That’s the plan, to drive patriots out of the military and turn the military into the biggest social program there is, with folks who won’t be afraid to shoot those who get uppity about it.

He’s right! Who would put their lives on the line for the butcher of Benghazi? Who would tell their children that the Military is a valid option to jump start their Adult lives and serve their country? I know I wouldn’t let my children join as much as I could.

the generals won’t go. Look how they behaved in bending over forward to abide the perversions of Obama.

Half or more of the FBI and national security apparatus is going to resign also. Hopefully it won’t get that far but this stuff needs to continue coming out to keep the pressure on.

It isn't mismanagement, its a strategy.

If this happens, then the military will be filled with people who lack self-discipline and will not take to learning it. This would be bad, not only for fighting real enemies like ISIS, but for getting turned loose here, where they can kill and loot at will without fear of military justice.

Higbe has identified the problem, and I’m sure that the majority of the rank and file see it too.

The main problem is that the progressive socialists are trying to force out the patriots and real soldiers through their deliberate and seditious rulings and mandates.

That is why obama and his ilk are purging the officer ranks, allowing homosexuals free run of things, putting women in combat roles that they could never possibly survive through, and doing everything they can to demoralize our troops.

All that I ask is that those brave souls currently in the military just hold out until the end of this year. If Trump is elected, we have someone who will side with you. If that socialist bitch somehow steals the election, I won’t blame anyone in the military the least for jumping ship.

Your services maybe required in the next CW if that comes to pass.

Good for you. Most just follow orders from headquarters.
