Trump is Right: the Generals are Rubble
US Defense Watch ^ | September 8, 2016 | Ray Starmann

Posted on 09/08/2016 7:06:12 PM PDT by pboyington

During last night’s Commander in Chief Forum on the USS Intrepid, Mr. Trump told moderator Matt Lauer, in reference to the War on ISIS, “Well, the generals under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have not been successful,” Trump replied. “I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing for our country.”

Mr. Trump is certainly correct. The generals have been reduced to rubble. Actually, they have been ground into space dust, for the value that they give to this Republic.

Under the Obama Administration, for over seven years, the military’s senior leaders, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and three and four star generals and admirals in worldwide command positions have rolled over on every single foreign policy debacle and social engineering directive emanating from the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department.

Where were the generals and indeed the admirals when Obama pulled out of Iraq in 2012, turning the country into a Pandora’s Box from hell?

Where were the generals as the President tied the military’s hands with obscene rules of engagement in Afghanistan?

Where were the generals and admirals when the disastrous Iran Deal was signed, a deal that provides Iran everything it needs to build up its military, support terrorism and pursue a nuclear weapon, while doing nothing for America?

Where were the generals and admirals while Obama and Hillary Clinton dithered as the Syrian Civil War raged and we sat on the sidelines and did nothing?

Where were the generals and admirals as ISIS formed like a malignant category five hurricane in the Middle East?

Where were the generals and admirals as CENTCOM created intelligence to placate the imaginary beliefs of the White House concerning ISIS?

Where were the generals and admirals as China constructed an artificial archipelago of military bases and airstrips in the South China Sea?

Where were the generals and admirals as the White House abandoned one of our oldest and most loyal allies, Israel?

Where were the generals and admirals as the Marines cannibalized aircraft and equipment for spare parts and the Air Force raided aircraft boneyards?

Where were the generals as the US Army was reduced to a pre-1940 size?

Where were the admirals as the US Navy grew dangerously small?

Where were the generals and admirals as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was repealed?

Where were the generals and admirals as transgenders were authorized to serve on active duty and also authorized to receive free gender reassignment surgery?

Where were the generals as a conspiracy to graduate three women from Ranger School took place?

Where were the generals and admirals as the Secretary of the Navy ordered a new gender neutral lexicon for the Navy and Marine Corps?

Where were the generals as US Army ROTC cadets were ordered to parade around our nation’s campuses in women’s red high heels?

Where were the generals as US Army male soldiers were ordered to conduct physical training while wearing pregnancy simulators?

Where were the generals as the Secretary of the Army wrote, signed and distributed Breastfeeding and Lactation Support memos to worldwide Army commands?

Where were the generals when the Secretary of the Navy completely ignored the Marine Corps’ 36 million dollar study that outlined and proved in excruciating detail why women shouldn’t be assigned to combat arms units?

Where were the generals and admirals as the Secretary of Defense authorized women to serve in the combat arms and special operations?

Where were the generals and admirals when the Secretary of the Navy ordered the Marine Corps to conduct so called Unconscious Bias training, the Corps wide, Soviet style brainwashing to try and convince Marines that all genders are equal?

Where were the generals when the troops were ordered to receive sensitivity training in combat zones?

Where were the generals when the US Army conducted White Privilege Training?

Where were the generals and admirals when the DoD included online classes that portrayed the Bible and the US Constitution as sexist documents?

Where were the generals and admirals as the grand and glorious traditions of the US military were flushed down the toilet by the President?

Critics will say, what can the military’s senior leaders do? The military is subordinate to civilian leadership. Yes, that is true. Yet, not one single senior military leader has resigned in protest over Obama’s policies, or for that matter, not one single active duty senior military leader has voiced an opinion against Obama’s horrible national security decisions and destructive social engineering.

We don’t live in Idi Amin’s Uganda or North Korea under Kim Jong Nutjob. For God’s sake, even in Nazi Germany, the German General Staff argued with Hitler about strategy.

Obviously, America’s senior military leaders are lacking in intestinal fortitude and are more worried about their pensions than about the nation they took an oath to serve.

America’s senior military leaders have no more value than dime store dummies in uniforms.

Last night Mr. Trump correctly stated that he would fire many of the military’s senior leaders. In fact, Mr. Trump, if elected, must completely clean house in the US military. The top generals and admirals in the US armed forces have stood by and done nothing for over seven years as the military’s readiness, combat power, fighting spirit and morale have been thrown in a wood chipper by the President and his willing executioners in the Pentagon.

The effeminate generals and admirals are more interested in faggots and mentally ill people that don’t know what sex they are. They are pointing to “sexual assaults” when women should not be there. Find out what the pregnancy rate for unmarried women and adulterers in in the military.This is madness.
Let me tell you what looms out there. CHINA!! CHINA!!! CHINA !!! get real or get the hell dead!

Wesley Clark was the first openly political Democratic acolyte. The Joint Chief of Staff has devolved into yet another politically correct Federal bureaucracy. The Generals are almost comical the way they kow tow to Obama’s commissars. Rubble is a generous, reserved description.

It's a deeper problem than just mere replacement of GO toadies. The military education system from the academies to the senior officer staff schools has been compromised with leftists, feminists, islamists, atheists, homosexuals, environmentalists, et al...

The entire military culture we are accustomed to has been thoroughly compromised. There will need to be a top to bottom culture change that re-aligns our military with the Constitution and Judeo-Christian values.

There are many, many articles by some very unhappy Generals on the web. Trump didn’t say anything that we didn’t know.

They have many ways to put pressure on military brass.

Yes. General Allen from CENTCOM. He had thousands of emails with the middle eastern floozie in Tampa. They put the screws to him and then pulled him out of retirement when they needed him.

The military has been this way since MacArthur got fired. No one else has dared to do anything other than what bureaucrats and politicians tell them to do so.

Our generals and admirals were selected for their positions because their politics agreed with Obama.

Obozo got rid of the ones that would not kiss his ass and salute the faggotry he wanted in the military.

One of the best he eliminated:

The fighting men have all been driven out, even at the lower levels.

The butt kissers are in charge of the military right now. Some real men were cashiered during the Benghazi debacle for standing up to Hillary and Obama.The Secretary of the Navy is a jackass and the Secretary of the USAF is an affirmative action selection.

This is a great pretext to clean out all the ideologues and politically-correct butt-kissers who introduced the LGBT, feminist, global warming crap into the military under Obama.

That stuff can, and must, be cleaned out.

Mattis talks big, but he’s just like the other wuss generals. He hung out Wuterich and the Haditha Marines and ruined their lives. Their crime? Why, they actually went and did the tough things he always says. Screw him.

We need a president who is looking for the next George Patton in the Army, the next Bull Halsey in the Navy, the next Chesty Puller in the Marine Corps and the next Curtis Lemay in the Air Force. The chain of command, from the CIC down to the front line commander needs to be a pussy-free zone.

Most generals are politicians, not soldiers. That’s how they got to be generals.

I think there’s some Generals that need to be cashiered, no retirement pay, and maybe even some rock-hammering time at Leavenworth. Replace them with some politically incorrect Colonels, My. Colonels, and Majors who are warriors and leaders of men.

At our local marine base we have had three base commanders in a row relieved from duty within the last year for the unspecified “failure to inspire confidence.” Speculation is that they refused to go along with the directives on gays, transgenders and other political correctness requirements, but of course no one can talk about it.

True, however the JCS, other than the Marines a small amount, have totally given in to All the SJW’s conversion of our military to the one where fighting and winning wars is less important than ensuring that transvestites get special treatment.

These JCS guys have utterly failed all those who preceded them, their legacy will take decades to fix.
