What? No more recruiting commercials about female soldiers who have two mommies? Recruitment will crash! Oh wait, it already has
Good counsel.
“Throw a rock into a pack of dogs. The one that yelps is the one ya hit”
No.
Way better to just have informal conversations with people who aren't government employees.
Works great—until the next Dem prez turns the tables on it.
I’m for that if they are reliable trustworthy people to give proper advice on it.
it would be near impossible for one person to personally vet what I’m guessing is hundreds if not thousands of officers. I think he’s counting on the fact that as president, its his final decision, not a board.
I’m also wondering if this action is a way to smoke out those who feel the military shouldn’t be under civilian control.
“And what happens if the board doesn’t want to fire people that should be fired?”
That’s the real problem. The board will probably end up giving cover to a number of Obama and Biden’s woke princes.
“Is Team Trump showing its moves too early?”
No. He’s at peak political capital.
If you spend political capital, you get stronger. If you hoard it, you get weaker.
Need to go a bit deeper than 3 & 4 Stars....
“The Trump transition team is floating a draft executive order that would establish a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel tasked with reviewing three- and four-star officers and to recommending removals of any deemed unfit for leadership, according to reports.”
Unfit for leadership or unwilling to help fulfill this president’s agenda.
It’s a real simple methodology. You’re either with us... ie with Trump, MAGA, and most Americans.... or you’re against us. There is no in-between or alternate formula that can or will be used.
You’re out if you’re against. It’s not complex.
Think Trump wants to embarrass them and rightfully so! They need it so badly!
Yes. I do think they are jumping the gun, but I am not sure why? I like that there is decisiveness, but the news gets out too fast. The fact that all the races are not done is making me nervous. That being said...what department is over elections?
Starting with Obama, there has been a steady move away from “breaking things and killing the enemy” to .... “how do we get along”.
Good point. However. See the next post below this one.
Trump will be very busy and if he is to get everything done that needs to be done, he will need to delegate a lot of this work. Next stop, Justice Department.
Perhaps but then on the other hand, it can be good to watch the rats as they scurry about. It can be very enlightening.
Long overdue.
Agreed!
You know why the pentagon is shaped like an a5540!e?……it’s filled with them.
