I think Trump needs to send Mad Dog up to Levin’s bunker to adjust his attitude.

And he is going to meet all the Dims and RINOs in the Senate. It’d be a SHAME if the Russians hacked into the plans.

Too much winning? Not possible. Ask again in 2020, though.

I don’t see Mattis waiting patiently for Her Majesty to arise from her beauty sleep when he has four of his people under fire in Benghazi. Those days are done.

Patton is a very good movie, so is MacArthur IMO. They are worth watching just to reminisce when America was great.

Imagine, someone today, put in charge of a war, just kicking ass and taking names later, and actually winning a war for once? With minimal lives, minimal cost, and enjoying that good feeling of winning.

After the dems won in Vietnam, I’ve been looking for a good win.

I wonder if he will task the Defense Intelligence Agency with penetrating mosques to discover the truly bad guys

We are at war and DIA assets should be used to ferret out the rotten fanatics

Patton did not have ‘pearl’ handled sidearms. Only a pimp from a New Orleans whore house would use that. He had a pair of Ivory Handled 45s

“General Patton believed in reincarnation. You don’t imagine that just maybe”


Maybe - if souls have a “refresh rate” of a bit less than 5 years. :>)

He seems to be about the closest thing to the late, great Patton to have come along since 1945. To me, this is Trump’s best choice yet. No one will dare to mess with us - which will keep us out of wars, saving lots of blood and treasure. The whole idea is to be that wolverine that no want EVER wants to mess with, under ANY circumstances.

Great. Thanks. Weird that Jason Miller would tweet that then.

My Marine nephew got out about a month ago after serving four years. I wonder if he’s having second thoughts now. He said morale was really in the dumpster under Oblowhard.

Nothing in the law in question mentions a congressional waiver.

Look up Marshall, General George, 1950
