White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on Tuesday tried to walk back an attack from President Donald Trump on the nation's military leaders in which he claimed "the top people in the Pentagon" aren't happy with him because he wants to get the U.S. out of wars while they are beholden to arms dealers.
Meadows told White House reporters Tuesday morning that he had spoken with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and other top officials, claiming they know Trump's striking comments Monday weren't aimed at them.
"Those comments are not directed specifically at them as much as it is what we all know happens in Washington, D.C. This president is consistent about one thing, if we're going to send our sons and daughters abroad to fight on our behalf, he's not going to let some lobbyists here in Washington, D.C., just because they want a new defense contract, suggest that they need to stay abroad one minute longer than they should," he said.

Yep, doodiedawg, nwrep and St. Louis “conservative” are all very “concerned.”
Cleanup not required. Go back to your safe space.
Tell that to Meadows.
haha loser. you’ll never find anything that sticks to trump because it’s all liberal lies, which I know YOU love.
Trump was right and most people including many in the military knows it.
I thought Obama fired most of the real Generals and replaced them with Generals that were cool with trannies and gays. He does make a good point about the arms dealers *cough*F35*cough*. May not be the best time to alienate too many Generals though.
he’s on point
Paging Charles Bronson.
Not when you're claiming that nobody supports the military more than you do.
Wasn’t Jeep one of them? You know....... all those nifty jeeps the MASH group showed on TV. That investment?
The average American gives less than a sh8t about offended Generals
The working man and grunts lovenit and agree
By way the concerned are always concerned or worried about time running out with issues or polls lol
"... .... Army Jeep!"
And the fact that every single one of them lands cushy post retirement jobs at military industry companies.
Interesting. So now the folks who paraded around with signs “Bush lied, people died”.....that was just a mirage then?
Why isn’t Code Pink supporting Trump on this?
Yes indeed. I can remember Johnson kept ratcheting up the war there. Lady bird I am sure got rich.
Simple good cop, bad cop ploy.
Screw the generals, he has the rank and file.
