Exactly. Gen Mattis knows of more than a few good men to fill the slots.

Now we can see what we were up against. Simple minded communists that invaded the Pentagon. King Obama was a terrorists and saturating his communists in all branches of the Government. Drain the swamp.

Bring back all the ones Obama fired.

A good portion of those people were the garbage left by Clinton. Bush let a huge portion of those people stay when he took office and they did all sorts or damage to our military.

A lot of the swamp is self-draining so they don’t have to face some serious questions by Trump and/or Sessions...

Doesn’t “Bring back all the ones Obama fired” mean that all of the President G.W. Bush appointees the many Freepers hated will be put back into office?

Just a random though. But better the Bush folks than the Obama incompetents.

Better be careful on wanting O-5’s put into those positions. We got a retired O-5 as head of our organization last year. He has been a disaster. Some of us wonder if he got the position because his uncle is an LTG?

Good rehire the Generals/Admirals that Obama fired!

Don’t forget the Navy Admirals and senior Captains, since the Navy doesn’t have one star admirals.

I don’t see a down side to that. Dead cockroaches are the best kind.

So can we proceed with:

- No women in ground combat roles in any branch of service
- No women in special forces
- No women in submarine service
- No open homosexuality: reinstate DADT (yeah, I know: would take an act of Congress)
- No transgenderism, period
- Eliminate DACOWITS
- No 'climate change' BS anywhere in the military
- All fuel procurement based on lowest bid: no 'biofuel' mandates

And on and on and on ...
