Some liberals are concerned that the veterans President Trump is appointing, or considering appointing, to key government positions will turn America into a dictatorship.
One author wrote:
Whatever the good intentions of the former officers who've been nominated, having a host of former generals in traditionally civilian positions would begin to erode principles of civil-military relations central to democracy, including civilian control and the political neutrality of the armed forces.

Just shows the liberal’s disdain for the Military.
These people don’t matter anymore, nor what they say either.
They lost, we won. They can go ask their liberal loser followings to keep them into the lifestyles to which they’ve been accustomed.
Retired Military ARE civilians. George Washington and Eisenhower for example were both former generals. It’s a dangerous world, and we need the best and these guys are the best.
We veterans are all bat-shit crazy viet warmongers awaiting any chance we have to wreak havoc on society. Our personal hope is that one of us might become president of the world and then go My Lai on a major city.
All veterans are wantor killers and should never be trusted with anything. We make ISIS look like choir boys (do muslims have choirs?)

Thanks for the encouraging words. LOL!
The left is worries about (insert here).
TOO BAD.
And if you try to obstruct the repubs better have the balls to play the nuclear option.
Right. Let’s let agenda driven politicians run our military, because we don’t have enough Chelsea manning protecting our country.
No problem.
If you need another pick-me-up later today, just ping me. :>)
He even appointed a General of Attorneys!
Did you know that Chelsea Clinton is actually Chelsea Manning in drag?
It’s true. I read it on the fake NYT news site.

The lefties fret and fume about three retired generals in Cabinet or advisory positions, but not a squeak out of them when Obama added 32 exhorbitantly paid, unaccountable “czars” to his regime.
Yes... the "media."
Since neither the President nor the Vice President have any actual military experience, I’m GLAD they’re bringing in some veterans to the new administration.
And Ulysses S. Grant, another general.
Sounds good to me.
XZINS for President!
You owe me a computer cleaning. :>)
The recount now has me 2 votes higher than before.
If only the Left had the same reservations about felons holding office...
YES! We want our sons and daughters to die in a war fought to expand the Great American Empire abroad. I want to see my home and city in flames as we fight on, devastating the whole world in one great mushroom cloud. Victory? Who cares. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. [THIS IS SARCASM FOLKS! REALLY THIS IS SARCASM].
We are really much better off with a peace-loving civilian running the world, say like LBJ.
