President Trump has referred to this general several times. Does anyone know who he is talking about?

I have no respect for any of the Obama generals who all saluted the transgenderizing of our military

I agree. Jim Mattis. Generally not specifically named, but he appears to be the one.

Probably Mattis. President Trump was really ticked off at him. But then again, I don’t think he liked many of the Obama holdovers. I really thought Mattis would be different...a major disappointment.

Mustapha Kemal, also known as Attaaturk, at the battle of Gallipoli, “l know you have no ammunition, I am not asking to fright and win, I am not even asking you to go forth and fight. I am asking you to go forth an die.” And the Turks went out and died until the British got tired and gave up.

A bit simplified but true.

He went on to found the modern state of Turkey.

Sounds like BS or maybe that Platoon needed more ammo. As bad as Obama was, our infantry was still provided with ammo.

All of them, the obama holdovers are hardcore life long socialists and democrats. McChrystal was the worse, he’s like the ring leader of the flag officer resistance and it’s his information/propaganda war strategy the deep state is using against the American people. I would say though, it doesn’t seem ot be working on the Constitutionalist/Patriotic people in America. I think McChrystal broke Sun Tzu’s first rule of warfare, “Know Your Enemy”; kind of strange, afterall so many people think hes a genius, but he’s not; he’s just another asshole socialist who believes the caricatures of Patriot Americans that the left has created.

Reminiscent of Joshua Chamberlain at Little Round Top.

Fix bayonets!

I know of an Army reserve unit that could not qualify at the range in 2015 because there was no ammo.

My COL friend was just shaking his head.

President Trump has referred to this general several times. Does anyone know who he is talking about?

Perhaps a fictional general that Trump made up to demonstrate his point, which likely is that he restored necessary funding to the military?

I felt much the same. What a disgrace.

COL Chamberlain in his memoirs said that when we held after the final attack, the total amount of ammo that we had was about 10 rounds for the rifles & a few rounds in officer’s pistols. - He then said, “It was a near thing.”

Josh Chamberlain was a GREAT officer & a GOOD Christian, who fought for the wrong side in TWBTS.

Yours, TMN78247

Mattison turned out to be a real disappointment but not surprising since he fell for the Blonde Therenos scam
