I would be interested to know how many of our military lost their lives and/or were seriously wounded due to McChrystal's ridiculous tightening of the rules of engagement in Afghanistan
“Retired Gen. McChrystal: Trump’s attacks on military service members are ‘disturbing’” spoken like a true rough and tough war fighter. You get an extra fruit cup at dinner tonight Stanley.
Funny how our troops love Trump, and hated Zero.

One of the most Pro Military Presidents, if not the most, in modern times.
He called out McCain for being a traitor to not only the country, but to his constituents. Is McRaven aware of all the things McCain did to NOT help veterans. Especially, those that never came home. Whose families were begging for some closure and McCain did everything in his power to deny them.
As for McRaven, he was a potential pick for VP with her. A while back some SEALS, in the Virginia area, were disciplined because they were flying, TRUMP and MAGA flags on their military vehicles. If anyone were to do a survey on the political leanings of the members of the SEAL community, I challenge you to find more than a handful that aren’t a supporter of the President. And I doubt you’ll find ONE that is a supporter of her or Bernie. You might, just might, find a few that might be some, Left Leaning Libertarian types, but the minute you start talking about taking guns, getting rid of the 2A or infringing on the Bill of Rights, they’ll wrap you up in a Gadsden Flag before they throw you overboard 20 miles from shore.
Amazing that McChrystal won’t acknowledge that McRaven picked that fight. Of course, it was done in a place where not a lot of people would hear it or pay attention to it. And if there’s one thing that anyone should have learned by now, the President isn’t anyone’s punching bag and he fights back.
All three of them were/are/have become, political hacks. For Generals/Admirals, especially high profile ones like these two, you go from being on the pedestal everywhere you go, having someone drive you everywhere, making your coffee, aides running around to open your doors and fetch your drying cleaning, invited to all the cool parties and getting to wear your Mess Dress to the White House, to waiting in line at Publix wondering if you should get into the express line, for 10 items or less, when you’re holding 12. Or remembering which aisle you parked your car.
And I’m not saying that they don’t/didn’t deserve to attain the rank they did. I’m sure they were quite good at their jobs. But, how about being humble in your retirement. If you have some thing constructive to add, I’m sure getting an audience with the President wouldn’t be that difficult for either of them.
The need to try and stay relevant can probably be overwhelming, for some.
The only thing I see disturbing is McChrystals Obama loving ass. Same thing goes for all the Obama liberal generals that Trump had to appoint when he became president. Been two years now and the military has fine general officers that will put Americas interest first, not Sorors and the neocon globalists.
Fast track the O-5 and O-6 that lead rather than politic. Force the political creatures out.
Listening to the radio this morning... there’s a new book out on notable admirals and guess who is in it?
McRaven...
With the USS Biden listing and taking on water could it be the Democrats are looking to move the flag to the USS McRaven?
I got an idea. Quit attacking the President in public without provocation.

Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal on Wednesday attacked President Trump's attacks
Do these people think we take them seriously?
Wonder how much money McChrystal (or his relatives) has received from Ukraine?
