“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.”

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.

If they had all resigned that would have been proof that there is still honor, integrity and a sense of ethics among the officer corps. Of course none of those antiquated concepts has any place in 21st century America.

We would have had heroes to look up to! In times past, when a general or admiral resigned rather than take a direction that violated his honor, the world knew why. The whole point of his resignation was widely known and pressure was forced on the government to remedy the reasons that caused him to leave.

Instead, we have had the Obama regime force stupid and destructive policies on the services and those General/Flag officers who did resist were forced out quietly, some through exposure of some stupidity they had in their past and most with the implicit threat that their retirement and the potential follow-on employment would be damaged if they spoke out.

Those that didn't resist or maybe helped with the perverse new directions are still in place, their careers secure so far. They either don't have the capacity to lead combat forces with any talent or they themselves are perverts enjoying the new environment.

Either way, they need to be gone.
