There are a lot of Seabees there
I just looked at Gen. Flynn’s page and oddly I cannot copy the image. Usually I can copy images on the top of twitter pages. I wanted to post the Besty Ross flag it after I read your comment. I can copy the picture of G.Flynn but not the flag.
I respect his service. But I don't think he was a great Sec. of Defense.
It's probably hard to go from taking orders to figuring it out. And, lets face it, even as a three-star you are in taking orders mode. Executing someone else's plan.
In his Sec. of Defense role he famously quit in disgust over Trump not agreeing to a bigger presence in Syria.
OK, it's 9 months later, now. ISIS is still broken to bits, we haven't started a war with Russia, the USA doesn't have troops in Syria and you can basically sum this up as:
Trump was right.
Trump was keeping his campaign promise not to get over-involved in all sorts of military escapades, which even guys like Obama who probably didn't want to start wars initially, ended up doing.
The military has it's own logic, and sometimes it does get itself tied up in knots. Afghanistan is a great example. The military logic keeps saying we can't leave, but we've been there for almost 20 years, so the logic is queer.
Trump has an ability to see through conventional wisdom that great leaders have. He cut right through it with his Syria decision.
Mattis, for all his PR and resume, just wasn't nearly as good as the hype suggested as a strategic leader. Maybe he was the greatest logistics officer ever, or was good at organizing troops, or good at motivating them. There are many leadership skills needed in the military.
But at the core task of strategy he was bested by an untrained amature. Ouch. He's still smarting from that, and thus his current book tour. "I was smarter and I know it!".
Look at all the loser's Trump has put on book tours: Hillary (literally her book was called "What happened", lol), Comey, McCabe, Mattis, Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Tillerson, Omarosa ...
Generalized Synopsis of ex-Trump offical's books:
Trump fired me - but I am really smarter than him. Really. He's not a good person. Did I mention Trump fired me. That was very unfair and stupid, because I am really great. Better than Trump.
Divine justice. Love it.
I would have assumed the mod would have said why the disciplinary measure, given a warning, or etc. Sounds very odd.
But... I try to keep my head low as some mods over the years have been somewhat capricious.
Neither Bongino nor DiGenova are privy to the inner workings of the DoJ, only if an insider tells them. From what I’ve read, these are their opinions only.
I’ve seen O’Rourke in fake worn jeans and maybe even a cowboy hat - he’s the fake cowboy. Don’t they need a guy in a hard hat?
A historic meeting with U.S. military & Mexican officials protecting both sides of our southern border. Due to joint cooperation, border crossings have ⬇️ 43% over the past 2 months & we’re looking forward to seeing that continue thanks to @realdonaldtrump & our Mexican partners. pic.twitter.com/lVeoOmMVrD— Jim Inhofe (@JimInhofe) August 21, 2019
The Great State of North Carolina has EARLY VOTING for a very important Congressional (Ninth) race. Please vote early (now), or on Election Day, September 10th, for Dan Bishop, a great guy. His opponent wants Open Borders, Sanctuary Cities & is weak on Crime, Military & Vets!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2019
“The IG found that James Comey leaked Classified Documents to his attorneys, which can be (is) a violation of the Espionage Act. This is consistent with all the lies that Comey has been spreading. @GreggJarrett @ByronYork @LouDobbs— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
While Madeleine Westerhout has a fully enforceable confidentiality agreement, she is a very good person and I don’t think there would ever be reason to use it. She called me yesterday to apologize, had a bad night. I fully understood and forgave her! I love Tiffany, doing great!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
Then he retweeted a lot of FL, coast and Hurricane info, then:...Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements. Disgusting and foul mouthed Omarosa is one. I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book. Numerous others also!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
I was right about Comey, CROOKED COP!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which is happening, and then, KEEP AMERICA GREAT!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
Just watched Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, and many other Democrats, wanting to give up on our very successful Trade battle with China, which has had its worst Economic year in memory (and getting worse). We are taking in $Billions. Will be big for Farmers and ALL!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
Being scolded by failed former “Intelligence” officials, like James Clapper, on my condolences to Iran on their failed Rocket launch. Sadly for the United States, guys like him, Comey, and the even dumber John Brennan, don’t have a clue. They really set our Country back,....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
....but now we are moving forward like never before. We are winning again, and we are respected again!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2019
Does that woman (Warren) ever smile? I don’t think I’ve seen it. She’s got a wooden face. She’s not just a fake Indian, she’s a Wooden Indian.
Either that or just get it delivered.
Heading down to the boat. Catch up later.
I think she can grimace once in a while.
Walls are going up all over the place, too.
Of course the “News” doesn’t report it as they want us to think that Trump is doing nothing. Except bad things, of course. They don’t want the wall up or the border safe, but they know WE do. The majority of Americans do.
Yes, when she gets a little gassy.
Re-posting my prayer from earlier for those in the path of Hurricane Dorian, and elsewhere. Our prayers will be heard.
Let’s hear an “Amen”!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Father, please protect our friends, loved ones, believers and patriots who are facing this physical storm Dorian, or may be facing a spiritual storm. Hold them in your merciful hand, encourage their faith, give them strength to endure, and fill them with Your infinite grace.
And if it’s Your will, Father, please make this storm stall and dissipate before it does damage. Your Holy Word says the faith of a mustard seed will move mountains. Please hear our prayers, Lord, and let us move this mountain with our faith against all earthly science as we trust in Your mightiness and mercy.
We ask in the blessed name of your son, our savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Whoa.
This is new for me: https://www.whatfinger.com/
