Marines’ TOP general let internal memo leak opposing Trump’s use of funds for border wall
The National Sentinel ^ | 4/4/19 | Jon Dougherty

If you still wondered what kind of opposition POTUS Donald Trump faces on a daily basis to any and all of his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigration and regain operational control over our southwest border, this will serve as just the latest example.

In a highly improper and extremely controversial move, the Marine Corps’ top commander, Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller, let a pair of internal memos leak to NBC News and the Los Angeles Times in an attempt to embarrass his commander-in-chief over is decision to shift some Pentagon funding to border wall construction, Newsweek is reporting.

In particular, Neller is upset that funding to repair one of the service’s two primary training bases, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, following Hurricane Florence — which damaged more than 900 buildings at the base — still hasn’t arrived six months later.

This is an actionable offense. Trump should fire this man.

I really THOUGHT I loved Generals.

Generals are military, and military is patriotism:

I was that simple.

But the past 5 years or so have shown me that I HATE most Generals.

Generals are basically POLITICIANS, and most of them are LIBERAL.

The Kenyan from Indonesia ran out all the warriors.
The only officers we have left are those who would salute the transgenderizing of our military.

“This is an actionable offense.“

Try a little research, cave man. The good General was doing exactly what he’s paid to do. Go read the “leaked” memo for yourself.

Thank you for sharing that. Everyone tends to jump the gun without doing their research. Almost liberal like.....

He should be stripped of rank and sent to Portsmouth. A good object lesson.

Fire him, demote him to Colonel, reduce his pay accordingly, adjust his retirement grade and pay to Colonel as well. Send a msg....

Either you exercise your power as Commander in Chief or that power is effectively seized by others. Trump still does not have control of the Federal bureaucracy. The Russian collusion hoax has been successful in that it has kept Trump off balance and has prevented him from implementing his plans. Remember he simply as Commander in Chief has always has the power to order the Army Corp of Engineers to build a wall/security barrier along the southern border and it would be done.

First of all you have to realize that this is a hit piece to create discord between Trump and anyone not Trump. The General "let leak" is rather passive implying without stating that he actively sought to have the memos leaked.

I have little truck for flag officers most of whom are political. But the leftist media is not interested in the well-being of the Marine Corps. They are interested in getting the insane orange one out of office.

He should be courtmartialed for insubordination and a host of other charges. Trump must make an example of him.

It would seem that these types of useful idiots have nothing better to do to entertain themselves or at least, occupy their time.
