The job 2.5 months. Slightly longer than the mooch.

The Commander in Chief just picked up a few more military votes in 2020.

which president promoted this one to Admiral?? Check the Admiral’s background and we will probably get a clearer picture.

The Top Navy Admiral is the one who should be stripped of his rank
and pay. If I were Trump, I’d Fire this Admiral.

Agreed, poor choice. Obviously President Trump cannot know every hire / appointment decision personally. However, he certainly needs to perhaps reconsider who he takes advice from. His “trusted advisers” may need to be revised.

President Trump should start cleaning out the flag officer dead wood. And maybe think about reducing the number, too.

I see and agree with your point. They now have a POTUS that has their backs more than anyone since Reagan. It’ll only last until Trumps gone. If the CIC had been Reagan or Trump I might have done the whole 20. Best I could do was 7 with Nixon/Carter. 5 with Carter. Lost faith in the command structure and interest in detante.

That is good news. President Trump has a few more miscarriages of justice to put right. I am hoping by Veteran’s Day there will be announcements.

Obviously, we need more CPO’s like Eddie Gallagher and fewer perfumed princes called Admirals.

Your nation thanks you for your service, CPO Gallagher!

And thank you President Trump!

Semper Fi!

“You train someone to go fight and kill the enemy. Then they go kill the enemy the way someone doesn’t like, and then we put them in jail or we throw the book at them.”.

****************

This potential injustice makes going into military service a very problematic proposition as you can be severely punished for doing the job you were told to do. Who wants to run that risk?

Exactly.
It’s a difficult enough job without having to worry about getting attacked from the brass when they want to virtue signal or need a fall guy. It’s a disgrace and heads need to roll.

He needs to bring in LTG Boykin and MG Mixon along with James Webb to do some serious screening. The problem with the Obama era is that they did an excellent job of promoting guys like Mike Mullen and passing over guys like Mixon.

This guy would have made admiral during the Obama administration so I think that explains a lot.

Once again Trump did the right thing by standing up for our warfighters. Its extremely disturbing that the brass did not.
