The irrational liberals are always worried about the military, even our military and its history, much preferring the image projected by Hollywood.

BTW - does anyone remember an EXTREMELY effective Secretary of State immediately following the end of World War II? Won the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize for the “Marshall Plan” which rapidly rebuilt war torn Europe?

That’s right - George Catlett Marshall, Jr.. 1901 graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. He served as Chief of Staff from 1939 until the end of the war in 1945. As Chief of Staff, Marshall organized the largest military expansion in U.S. history, and received promotion to five-star rank as General of the Army. Marshall coordinated Allied operations in Europe and the Pacific until the end of the war; in addition to being hailed as the organizer of Allied victory by Winston Churchill, Time magazine named Marshall its Man of the Year for 1943. And, he served as Secretary of State from 1947 to 1949.

BTW since it was established in 1866 there have been only 7 Generals of the Army, 2 from the civil war and 5 from World War II, including Marshall.

And, the irrational liberals are worried about what bad things might happen.
