Look up HR McMaster. You’ll find an active Lt General cut from the same cloth as his one-time commander General Franks. In fact McMaster was one of Frank’s Captains in the largest tank battle of the Iraq War, 73 Easting.
Worth noting that General McMaster was initially passed over for promotion to brigadier general because he wrote and published “Dereliction of Duty,” an exhaustive study of the military’s failure to stand up to LBJ and McNamara during the Vietnam War. Never mind that the culprits were long since retired (or dead) by the time McMaster published his best-selling book in 1997—or that his work was based on exhaustive research from the JCS archives. For telling the truth, McMaster came very close to never reaching flag rank.
Readers may remember the infamous Army promotion board headed by David Petraeus, who came back from his command in Iraq to lead that panel. It was that promotion board that finally gave McMaster his first star.
Jim Conway , Mike Flynn , Bernie Champoux , the list is endless . Serious war fighters , whom if let off the civilian jerks leash woulf find fix and eliminate our enemies in short order . It’s time to turn over the apple cart folks . This kinder , gentler Liberal progressive civilian led approach we have been allowing is NOT working . In fact , it is leading to our national doom and an end of our history as a nation and a people . We have been conditioned to never expect VICTORY , and including a lot of good Mil folks , whom are also results of a Liberal affected educational system . Shall we wait until we have seen the day when multiple mushroom clouds arise over American cities ? Or unsheath our swords and drench them in the blood of our enemies first ? At what cost do we wait ? Make your excuse to the millions of American dead. ...Not suggesting a single military strongman , maybe a single civilian domestic affairs leader. A Joint Military Counsel , tasked with winning our wars and adjusting fireign affairs. We need a new model folks and we need it soon . Time is running out .
