Bosses should support their subordinates — Trump must have missed the downward loyalty lecture at Wharton —
Breathtaking statement given the rank disloyalty and even treasonous behavior of many of those careerists “serving” POTUS.
Trump has given his commanders a great deal of autonomy in making theater and operational decisions. He gives them the goals and the resources and leaves the implementation to them without the restrictions and rules of engagement of previous presidents.
The general missed the requirements laid out in his oath of office both as a general and as SecDef. He carries out the Constitutional orders of the Commander in Chief who was elected. He violated his oath of office by refusing to follow the directions of his commander.
Loyalty going down requires loyalty coming up from subordinates.
Yes, the statement was breathtaking; breathtakingly ignorant.
