Obama pushes military frustration to highest level in decades
Washington Times ^ | November 5, 2015 | Guy Taylor

Key lawmakers from both parties say frustration with the White House among the top military officers is at its highest level in decades, the product of President Obama’s cautious approach to the wars in Syria and Iraq and an indecisive inner circle of White House advisers who, critics say, have iced the Pentagon out of the policymaking process.

“There’s a level of dissatisfaction among the uniformed military that I’ve never seen in my time here,” said Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain in an interview. “For some of us who are a little older, let’s go back and read the Pentagon Papers — what the administration is doing is the kind of incrementalism that defined much of the Vietnam conflict.”

Our SF is in Syria to act as human shields.

Thug? Yes.

But Putin is correct; THAT is how they are functioning.

I believe his paymasters have anticipated a military coup here and so have set upon a purge of the military.

I also think the military itself will purge those ‘not military’ types and that a cadre of former military will re-emerge, even if that means man against his brother-again.

MY advise to the military: STAND DOWN!!! Until we get a President in there that cares about American and the people who protect our freedoms!!!

What’s he going to do? He didn’t have the ‘traitor’ court martialed, what makes you thinks he will now!!!

Call his bluff and STAND DOWN!!!

-—What’s he going to do? He didn’t have the ‘traitor’ court martialed, what makes you thinks he will now!!!-—

He will do what the Romans Emporers did...every tenth head off to remind who is charge when dissent filled the ranks...

How many military leadership heads rolled over Bengahzi ? Lots...

Plus Obama has already purged the military leadership...

Emperor Obama has made it abundantly clear that he hates the men and women charged with putting their lives on the line for the security of America.

If we show the military we are behind them and we are going support STAND DOWN, they will find a General that will go to battle with obuma...after all, he only has a phone and pen...so take it away...

We have to do something but just stand around and wring our hands and say nothing could be done...Is that the spirit that America was made with?

To many girly men in this country, time to take off the ‘pink laced panties’ and but on your ‘big boy shorts’ and show who is boss!!!

No rudeness intended, but you must live in a fantasy land....

40% of the country are either hardcover progressives, asleep, FSA, don’t care or too dumb to know any better...

And I might add, a part of the military are the same...

The General you think exists...most have been drummed out, about to retire and not willing to lose their retirement and bennies to lead a stand down order...

If some of the keyboard commandos on this site would take a moment and peek out their front door and stop pecking away making pronouncements...and navel glazing..

The progressives have broken and hollowed out every pillar of our American culture...

They will see a America hollowed out from within in need of principled leadership but most importantly a spiritual awakening.

Not one man (Trump or any politician) can rebuild America...

You don't rebuild on house with termite eaten rotten studs or a broken foundation...

Our foundation needs to be rebuild...that's decades long and a generational time frame...
