Seems like our military has been taken over by lying pathetic Globalists.

Kiss enough boots & rings...get to the rank of Admiral or General.

Al-Baghdadi’s ISIS tortured & murdered children in ovens and crucified his captives. This sorry sack of crap Stavridis is actually suggesting ISIS is better than Trump.

He’s demon-possessed!

The military selection process has flaws just as all others. We get dumbasses who make it through the process. Stavridis is obviously contained within that dumbass set.

Thankfully, all of the generals that I’ve had the pleasure to associate with are sharp.

I think he was saying that ISIS is doing better than DJT, not that they are better people than DJT.

The other things he says are totally stupid.

He’s a typical Obama promotion. What a bastard.

This old Grunt would like to get in that sorry assed Admiral’s face.

I hope this Admiral isn’t drawing a pension, I believe he is still accountable to the UCMJ which could make his life difficult.

Translation :

I have spoken to Obama and he and his newfound hollywood buddies are actively producing propaganda for their muslim terrorist buddies, John Kerry is preparing the Distribution network as we speak.

The Kenyanesian Usurper ran off all the warriors.
The flag officers that were left ALL saluted the transgenderizing of our military.

The founders were correct to exclude the children of foreign nationals from being President.

Too bad NONE of our elected and appointed would uphold the Constitution.

I can’t even figure out why that last part is even attached to the rest of the sentence.

It’s like he just adds that on and blurts it out, and it doesn’t seem to refer to anything before it, unless he’s trying to say that ISIS is better at using the internet as a recruiting tool than Trump is, which makes no sense.

This man is a total f***ing moron.

Top brass are for the most part political appointees, just as chiefs of police are.

He said they’re better at recruiting bearded savage headchoppers than Donald Trump. That’s a good thing.

First of all, they recruit from a group of candidates who are already primed for neck slicing, head severing, raping, and exploding. Their candidates have been forced to read a book of hate, anger, and death. They chant every day “death to the Jews!”. Doesn’t take much recruiting to get them to join a death cult.

All this was predictable. It was obvious the left was going to waste oxygen criticizing Trump over this. We knew they would turn a good thing into a negative. We knew their resentment is so large they willingly lie to avoid saying anything good about Trump.

We all know that the left would willingly turn this country over to the savage fanatics if that would rid them of their hated Trump.

We had a Latino guy at work tell a disabled marine that when he was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan that he was “no better than ISIS.”

The marine went after the guy but his coworkers held him back. He would have killed the guy. Literally.

Well, if they are better than Donald Trump, on the same basis the speaker makes that claim, then ISIS was massively better than Obama, as it was under his watch that ISIS grew in Syria and took over a large swatch of Iraqi territory, including the major city of Mosul.
