This is propaganda. General Neller did no such thing.

“Leaking memos to NBC and the LAT“

He didn’t “leak” anything. Stop believing NBC and the LAT.

They lie.

“MacArthur might have been right,”

When? When he thought an invasion of China after a nuclear attack was a good idea? Or are you referring to any other of the constant idiotic ideas he had? Arguably he was one of the worst generals America ever produced.

Look at the presidential leadership since 2008 that produced this crop of general officers, and what it took to get promoted

No heros of ISIS or Afghanistan who meekly followed obama’s no-win ROE

but plenty of SJWs

A lot of Generals, Admirals etc in positions now are those left over from the Obama era. There’s only bee 2 selection cycles since Trump has been in office.

Generals and Admirals these days would have whined and moaned about having to fight a war in two theaters as the military leadership had to during WWII

I told you all when this leak occurred that the dirtbag coward general ordered it done. Just like his other dirtbag marine generals, Kelly and mattis, they all try to undermine trump.

The ONLY thing marines are good for is cannon fodder. And the slimiest, dirtiest scumbags are marine generals. None of them have a brain in their head.

Yeller Neller doesn’t want to protect America. He wants to train in Scotland and Norway and repaint LeJeune instead.

And it's the second hit piece aimed at knee jerk idiots in as many months.

Remember pointing out that even if they stripped the entire 220,000 members of the Marine Corps from its post as a ready rapid deployment force (leaving us without one) and posted them along the southern border, there aren't enough of them to adequately repel an invasion.

That is the proper function of the Army - which has bases in the region in question.

Even as basic an observation as that has been successfully used by left-wing propagandists to make idiots howl and shriek at competent military professionals.

It doesn't matter whether the observation is apt, we have people even on this site primed, ready, and eager to attack the members indiscriminately.

As this thread undebatably demonstrates.

This Marine commandant is close to retirement, his successor has already been chosen. He’ll be gone in the next few weeks.


Hence the need to “leak” the memo and publicly split with POTUS. Being too closely associated with Trump is not for the climbing careerist and won’t get the good general a do nothing nothing BOD “job” at Theranos.

There are a gazillion deepster bureaucrats and support service contractors who get copies and can let leak these things.

Say that to my face and you’ll be taking your meals through a straw for the next few months, asshole.

They’ve unfortunately been massively corrupt for decades, but Obama also weeded out the patriotic ones.

So weird that Trump, whose most famous catch phrase going into his campaign was “You’re fired” has failed most at the basic hiring, firing and management tasks.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s succeeded in lots of areas too, despite that, but so far his admin is a fraction of what it could have been.

I was in the Marines during the Carter Administration. I was actually called in to my Commanding Officer’s office for disparaging the Commander and Chief, Carter. We were told dozens of times this was a punishable offense. It’s drilled into you at the start of boot camp.
