I bet there are many colonels who are licking their chops at the prospect of a Trump Presidency.

The Joint Chiefs act like the eunuchs in the US Congress, in my opinion.

Obama’s been systematically running Conservatives out of the military. The recruits of the last 10 years are products of Obama’s new directives. He has suborned the military in less than a decade.

Nothing new here. Political Admirals and Generals have been the downfall of nations since Nicias and Alcibiades led and advocated the Syracuse expedition in the Peloponnesian War.

I have to disagree with this. I know Gen Flynn was dismissed by Obama. And what they did to Petraeus was also intended to be a message what could happen to others. They have many ways to put pressure on military brass.

Here is an article I found after I Googled...”names of military brass forced out by obama”

http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines-2015/military-purge-barack-h-obama-says-obey-him-not-the-constitution

There are many other searches of a similiar nature suggested by Google.

All of our current General/Flag officers are careerist failures. Not one of them resigned in protest over the horrific changes this administration has brought about. Not one even spoke up about what has been inflicted.

They all need to be replaced.

When I graduated from a NCO academy, the General made a speech and said NCOs were the backbone and that officers like him really were mostly useless. That was prophetic.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if several assassins have been deployed to remove Hillary’s nemesis both by her and the NWOists. If I were Trump I wouldnt sleep near any windows and would probably prefer a safe room with steel casing to sleep in.

And weren’t there many generals that were let go because they wouldn’t agree to kill American citizens? Didn’t Valerie Jarrett have her sockpuppet let them go?

Pence answered this question very well. He also answered the "Trump praised Putoin" manufactured issue well, too.

Trump was not disrespecting the generals. He was saying the generals are disrespected by Obama, Clinton and Kerry. Obama, Clinton and Kerry have reduced the generals to rubble.

Generals do what they are told, or we do not have civilian control of the Military.

Many resigned, many retired.

A fair number can be brought back with a Trump administration.

Obama has been a disaster for the U.S. military.

I guess if they had all resigned, that would have been proof that they didn’t need to be replaced?

Imagine what we’d have if they’d all quit.

You ask where all the Generals and Admirals were when.....................................

I will tell you the good ones and several that I have served under over the years have been forced into retirement.

There were many officers who were forced out of the service by Obama, so the part about no officers standing up is a bit incorrect
