Pentagon Officers: We Quit if Trump Wins
The Daily Beast ^ | 12/16/15 | Nancy A. Youssef

Posted on 12/17/2015 9:08:34 AM PST by mrbinga

The plans of the next president are personal to the officers of the Pentagon, who are threatening to quit if The Donald becomes commander-in-chief.

Republican presidential candidate and business mogul Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to build up the U.S. military if elected president.

But it is not clear he will have the experienced commanders within the ranks to do it.

In the halls of the Pentagon, there is a different plan afoot for the Trump presidency. Here, officers are privately contemplating what they would do should Trump become their commander-in-chief. And more often than not, they proclaim they will leave.

“They want to quit, good riddance to them.”

I agree! The Donald will need to replace them anyway since they are obviously Obama boys! I trust Donald Trump will make sure those in important positions will be men who have 2!!

I would hope the whole State Department quits. Rumor is they all hated Bush.

They’re mostly political asshats now.

Bozo the cancer that hangs around the oval orifice has gotten rid of any resemblance of military. They could all be pansies, or just eunuchs.

Even if they can’t....we’re screwed.

Perhaps because only Obamy -lovers are left in the upper ranks......O canned all who opposed him.

Wonder if Trump could get the good ones back?

I have a sign for your Ophonybama bootlickers:

“DON’T LET THE DOORKNOB HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON YOUR WAY OUT!”

No question that the American military will be better off after these Ophonybama poofters are out on the street!

Bring back the Warriors, Donald!

BTW, is this JUST rumor?

No. It's b.s. written by Egyptian Nancy Youssef of the Daily Beast.

Trump would bring back all the Colonels, Navy Captains, Admirals and Generals POS Obama purged out. ........................... I left when Clinton was elected, but if Trump wins, I’ll wait outside by my mail box, with my walker, with great anticipation for my recall letter.

If only the rest of the current Federal Government employees would say the same thing! LOL!

Maybe President Trump can pass an executive order that every government employee from GS 7 up, has to submit a signed but not dated letter of resignation. Then if they are proven anti America bad people, the letter of resignation is invoked.

So...what's stopping them from doing so now?

Are they happy with the way that Obama has treated the Military? Apparently.

Since they seem happy with the current state of affairs, I have to believe that a president Trump would fire them anyway.

This is a canard by a liberal media source. No Pentagon official could ever make a statement like that which would jeopardize their career. DISINFORMATION

Those who would quit because of him are likely the ones he would have to fire.

Complete BS article. The exact opposite is true. Only people resigning will be the SJWs that do not need to be there in the first place.

I highly doubt almost any of this is true. Havent met many military me that like Obama but they remain to serve their country.
