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.

Good. There are too many federal jobs that are worthless anyhow.

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 ...
