If President Trump doesnt demonstrate the leadership that America needs, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office.
Last week I attended two memorable events that reminded me why we care so very much about this nation and also why our future may be in peril.
The first was a change of command ceremony for a storied Army unit in which one general officer passed authority to another. The second event was an annual gala for the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) Society that recognizes past and present members of the intelligence and Special Operations community for their heroism and sacrifice to the nation. What struck me was the stark contrast between the words and deeds heralded at those events and the words and deeds emanating from the White House.
BIG SNIP
And if this president doesnt understand their importance, if this president doesnt demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office Republican, Democrat or independent the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.

Civilians make policy - the military carries it out. This “general officer” should be shot.

Pretty funny this BS coming out on the same day the US announces a Kurd/Turkey cease fire. Oh no McRaven! We accomplished our objectives without the MIC! Whatever will we doo?

Some other admiral was flogging a book on ‘10 admirals’ on the radio yesterday and one of the 10 was William H. McRaven ... There must have been some real political monkey business with the OBL raid>
