President Obama held Gates over from the Bush era probably to tout his bipartisan credentials. Gates was listed as a Republican. He is as much a Republican as is Colin Powell – or as Obama is bipartisan. Obama knew Gates would be a willing ally in fundamentally transforming the military (as part of transforming America) from the ass-kicking outfit he inherited to the girly men can kickers it has become. Obama promised to disarm America to a level acceptable to Islam! He did, and Gates was a willing ally.
Gates immediately fell in line with Obama’s anti-military, anti-American, pro-Muslim programs. He also shared Obama’s disdain for Israel. Islam became a protected species, and any language indicating the contrary was purged from military documents. An unidentified enemy is safe from defeat.
Gates, in the WSJ column, accused Trump of having a plan to purge our military leadership, calling it an “unprecedented and unconscionable threat.” What Trump said pales to what Gates did. Gates’ purging of the military was unprecedented in my time. His predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld, was a man’s man, a fighter pilot, an athlete, an exceptional businessman with vast experience in elected office as well as the Pentagon – a tough act to follow, especially for someone fresh out of a university lounge.

Taking his cues from Obama, Gates almost immediately tackled the readiness of the Navy by putting females on submarines. Never mind that there is no privacy on a submarine. He then moved to quad sexualize the military (LGBT). Never mind that study after study, and more than 200 years of experience, have proven that open and active homosexuals would clearly harm military readiness – not to mention the impact on military schools, communities and chapels.

Got a new tag line from this article.
Robert Gates may never gain entry to Heaven.
But what do I know. Maybe, within a generation, Heaven shall also be taken over in a hostile challenge by the entity known as Allah, and only those who have actively performed to allow Islam to gain worldwide ascendancy shall be allowed in.
Try that argument on your friends who believe in “co-existence”.

Can’t stand Gates. Never could. What a pansy!!!!!!!!!!
Gates struggled mightily against the military industrial complex who wanted to sell the latest "toys" because the acquisition system would not support the problem we actually had - protect and support troops in the war we actually have.
Gates was part of the enemy that needed to be subdued so we can retire the A-10 and replace it with the F-35.
Gates is simply wrong about Trump, but Gates spent a lot of his career fighting the DC self-absorbed leaches.
Gates is a whiner, who helped disarm America. Not satisfied with that legacy, he went after the Boy Scouts.
I am not here to defend Gates. But you are buying in to a narrative made up by those who want to sell you the F-35 follow on, maybe a few more Littoral Combat Ships. Oh and some bridges to nowhere.
I despise Robert Gates. He gave Obama air cover to dismantle our military and loudly defended all of those policies. Paneta gave more resistance to hollowing out our forces, for crying out loud. Then after he was out, he writes a book saying it went to far and Obama wasn’t great, etc. What a disingenuous jackalope.
You sure seem like you are.
You and freeper Andy Jackson signed up with FR within 2 days of each other? Are you FRiends or friends? What a coincidence....
“But what do I know. Maybe, within a generation, Heaven shall also be taken over in a hostile challenge by the entity known as Allah, and only those who have actively performed to allow Islam to gain worldwide ascendancy shall be allowed in.”
No.
Nope.
YOur paragraph here is comic book fantasy.
I have read and I believe the Good Book that speaks of the Resurrection and Reign of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
One of the most important ways the Zero Administration [aka ‘President’ O] dropped the ball was in encryption.
We have yet to see the full fury of an escalated cyber-war, and we are practically defenseless.
Even the NSA got hacked.

Nope. The thing that has disarmed America is the expenditure of our national treasure on wars in the Middle East. It is the natural consequence of getting involved in long drawn out wars.
“Your paragraph here is comic book fantasy.”
You are uncommonly perceptive, that is exactly what I was shooting for. Making a statement that is so patently absurd that it invites a critique that calls for a defense of what is actually a core belief of many people, helps persons to more clearly define their own relationship with the divine.
Allah is not Jehovah, and those who confuse the two are themselves subject to a grave error.
Gates rebuttal
General Brady, you are 100% correct about Mr Gates, he was responsible for the decline in the military. Also notice that homosexual approval seem to follow him where ever he goes.
He makes my skin crawl. The very lowly typical 2 faced play it for everybody kinda freak.
My uncle used to say about some people - a friend to all and a friend to none. Took me quite awhile to understand what he was saying and I believe Gates fits it to a ‘T’.
I think Gates is a closet fruit.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised. Something is obviously wrong with him.
