Excellent speech and very much to the point.

It’ll never be spoken until well after obama has hit the retirement trail, if then.

More honor than the General has.

Never happen because he would have too much to lose.The pension will be a doozy after 38 years of service and he is not going to risk losing that.

The Chairman is a disgrace. The Chairman is a bootllicking Obama acolyte whose committment to his pension far outweighs his committment to the Nation, it’s traditions and the honor of the troops.

Excellent speech. Says it like it is. Points out the extreme idiocy of those using the U.S. military as a social engineering experiment which will actually get our soldiers killed in greater numbers. Either free up the soldiers to wage war and vanquish our enemies or get the hell out of the way.

“Never happen because he would have too much to lose. The pension will be a doozy after 38 years of service and he is not going to risk losing that.”

He expects his subordinates to lose their very lives. The coward needs to resign if he isn’t willing to risk less.

Far more likely to see a quiet retirement...and the benefits that go with it...rather than a bold speech that could ruffle feathers.
I am sure most people can see why he would be more inclined to take the path of least resistance after many years of service.

Guess the Marines that die weren’t inclined to take the path of least resistance? He’s a damned coward unworthy to lead them. He won’t risk a pension. He wants others to risk their life.

But its what id expect from someone like this pogue. His first combat was as a General Officer.

Women are simply prone to more injuries than men, have less muscle mass, do not have the upper body strength, the same aerobic lung capacity and the aggressiveness to fulfill the military’s combat readiness requirements and missions.

Plus ... a few other things. We have to ask, is there such a thing as a woman? Is there such a thing as a man? These people are saying no.

What would I like him to say? Obama is a traitor and the Joint Cheifs have deposed him and will rule as a Junta untill the election. Congress is closed and the miltary will rule. Hillary will be arrested as well.

Exactly by these butt kissers are hanging onto Obama and letting America go down the toilet.

In the end they could give a care less about America and it boils down to their pension and well being.

What oath?

It was not voiced during Viet Nam when our hands were tied preventing victory and will never be voiced by ticket punching brown nose zeros. Case in point, the recently retired General (Hookworm) Dempsey.

“My predecessors in the JCS were more concerned about their careers than about the welfare of the nation and the troops they led every day.”

Not entirely true.

General Ron Fogleman retired early because of Clinton and PC.
