IMHO it goes further back to Bill & Hill Clinton.
When I saw Gen Shinsecki, the “don’t ask/don’t tell” Clinton policy and watched what all he was about and thinking about Patsy Schroeder crying all the time about how awful the military was, I’ve been considering what has happened under even W’s watch.
Many of these lefty’s in the JAGs and also top officers’ behavior, especially when under Pres. Trump, toothless Mad Dog Mattis refusal to enforce the expulsion of LGBTQXYZ, non-response to an order from the Commander-in-Chief, I realize that there is also a very large, if not larger swamp at the pentagon!
Just my non-military opinion here but I haven’t at all liked what I’ve been seeing from the top brass at all.
You are right. I think it was Obama who appointed General Shallikashvilli (??sp) Chairman of the Joint Chiefs that really raised my eyebrows. A guy from an Eastern Block country that spoke broken English Chairman of the Joint Chiefs??? Are you serious????? It seems we have some serious allegiance issues in our Congress, the bureaucracy and the military. It is critical that the Swamp be thoroughly drained!!
