These are the same admirals and generals that allowed Benghazi to occur. They allowed the Iranians to capture two American navy patrol boats and humiliate the crews. The are for allowing the pointless military actions in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan to go on for ever. But someone might have heard something the president said on the phone although the transcript of the phone call proves otherwise.

[TADSLOS]

The generals who sit on major defense contractor boards and Swamp centered think tanks raking in the $$$$$.

Last I looked Veeeta Vita Vindman was a Lt. Col. and Kelly was retired.

Should be re-titled “Trump faces revolt of the REMFs”

[Migraine]

They’re not generals. They dress up like generals; but they’re dog-faced bureaucrats, stick-horse pony soldiers.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Fire them and field promote.

[Fido969]

They wish.

[Alberta's Child]

This is why the founders of this country had no interest in establishing a large standing army.

Anyone who is a career military officer should never be trusted to uphold the ideals of a free nation.

Swamper with stars. Effum!

[Revolutionary]

Angling for a guest commintator spot for big bucks.

[polymuser]

Leftist generals are indeed revolting.

Their TDS is outing them as the un-patriots they are.

I hope the FFWs and AmVets where such traitors live will be vocal about those aholes.

[Lurkinanloomin]

All of the fag officers promoted by the Kenyanesian Usurper need to be retired or cashiered.

Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly said at an event at Drew University on Wednesday that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman did the right thing when he raised concerns about President Donald Trump's call to the Ukrainian president

If Vindman really had concerns about the call, he should have raised it within his chain-of-command (either military or civilian), NOT leaked the SECRET information to some guy he knew in the CIA. What he had was a policy difference with the POTUS (also known as Commander in Chief), so he leaked it. And he didn't even have the guts to leak it himself, he leaked it to someone he knew would leak it elsewhere.

Vindman needs to be brought up on charges of insubordination and misuse of classified information (even if his friend in the CIA had the clearance, he didn't have the need-to-know).

Kelly is a civilian. His last job was White House Chief of Staff, a civilian job. He was a general once upon a time, but not anymore. When you take off your uniform, you can behave like any other civilian, and they do. Many of the comments on this thread are very confused about this fact.

[DoodleDawg]

Looks like a revolt of the retired generals. The active duty generals and admirals are keeping their mouths shut.

[tomkat]

Fire every single one of the sonsabitches who’ve forgotten/ignored who the boss is.
Just take your pension and GTFO !

[lurk]

Officers are politicians with ornaments on their jackets.

[dgbrown]

Let them speak out. Then Trump can fire them.

We voted for Trump- he is their commander period. This goes for all the Govt employees.

[rhinohunter]

Revolt of the Obama Generals

Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly said at an event at Drew University on Wednesday that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman did the right thing when he raised concerns about President Donald Trump’s call to the Ukrainian president in late July, according to a report in The Atlantic.

Let’s take that to be true for the purposes of the argument.

It still says nothing good about Vindman’s countermand to the Ukrainians, and even less about Vindman’s leaking classified information.
