Generals WIN battle with Donald Trump as 82nd Airborne soldiers are REMOVED from D.C. after chairman of joint chiefs publicly slammed president telling troops to 'uphold the Constitution'
Soldiers with the 82nd Airborne division of the Army were ordered out of Washington, D.C. and back to Fort Bragg, North Carolina on Thursday night
The about 200 active duty troops were kept on standby at bases near the nation's capital and were never called into the city in the midst of riots
The move is a clear reversal after Donald Trump faced backlash for calling in the military to serve as backup should the National Guard need assistance
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, former Army General John Allen and former Defense Secretary James Mattis all pushed back against Trump
Milley told troops in a Thursday memo to 'uphold the Constitution' 'We all committed our lives to the idea that is America' after he defended protesters' right to assemble,' he added in pen at at the bottom of the letter
Mattis and retired four-star General Allen both bashedTrump in separate op-eds
They specifically called out police clearing Lafayette Park with tear gas and rubber bullets so Trump could visit a church across the street for a photo-op.
'It may well signal the beginning of the end of the American experiment,' Allen said of the church visit where Trump held up his bible for photos .
'Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people - does not even pretend to try,' Mattis wrote

rabid dog mattis or current lowlife esper?
They are the last in the line of the Kenyan Klown Human Centipede. Anything the Klown excretes ends up as ambrosia for these two boys.
That is going to be hard to do with Wray claiming there is no evidence Antifa has anything to do with the riots
Thank you for the update
Right on Daily Mail and LSM are dopes telling big windy stories.
As he has disgraced himself, the uniform and the Corps, Mattis is better considered to be a punk, rather than a general. A loud-mouthed punk.

Need to read. Just posted by Pres Trump
Can’t believe how many Freepers, who should know better, are once again getting their panties in a twist over an MSM article!
Sources are telling Dan #Bongino that they are genuinely concerned that some upper level people in our military are openly talking about defying the President of the United States. Thats got a name. Thats called a mutiny.

Wow! Hadn’t seen this. JM Dowd is indeed a Marine of high honor.
Wait—— “It’s..... JOHN BOLTON!!!” the moron who ordered troop movements in Turkey without Pres. Trump being consulted as he was communicating with Erdogan. Anyone forget that? Bolton still not allowed to release his “book”. The machinery of DC is a wide and deep swamp.
Mattis is yet another perfumed prince (and all that this means)-— like the perpetual Army colonels who are all democrat lefties, who would have loved to be around escalating Vietnam under that scum pervo LBJ (who micromanaged failure rather well as he watched 5 TV sets). LBJ colonels— who get paid kick back from the Military Industrial Complex a REAL General... Eisenhower, warned the country about. This is how they roll, when they can’t get another Steele fake dossier and when you have Piers (fagboy) Morgan editing UK Daily Mail. Not true, and he took the bait.
A conveniently overlooked fact that was in mainstream press this week. Give em credit for the rate of spin.
Thank you for your response. Full disclosure: I didn’t serve (just missed out on West Point), but I spent much of my 50-year career as an engineer on DOD programs for military vehicles and weaponry support with GM, FMC Defense Systems and Hughes Electronics/Raytheon. Cheers!
This is a fake news article. I know a lot of you constantly say something is fake when you don’t like, but I don’t. This really fake.
See 167
DC is not a state. Why is their use in the District violation of the Constitution.?
I would go so far as to say it’s irresponsible for commander, such as POTUS to not have at least a regiment of soldiers in DC, per my previous. To protect We-The-Peoples interests in DC.
I’m sorry but I think the show of force was awesome. We use our troops to defend the world & why not protect & defend this nation from domestic terrorists on our own soil? The CIC should have the say in where our military is needed and to deploy them accordingly. I think DJT did the right thing sending the 82 Airborne to DC to defend the nation here on our own soil.
General Milley states in his letter that the National Guard has been deployed by the Governors. My response to that is that the Marxist RAT governors/dictators don’t give a damn about protecting the citizens of their states as they’ve proven for the past 3-4 months to the detriment of their states. I wouldn’t trust a single one of these human waste governors to use the National Guard in force protection of the citizens. I prefer the US military be directed by the CIC who truly wants to defend this nation from enemies foreign and domestic. God knows we as many domestic enemies as we have foreign enemies.
Domestic enemies, IMO, include the likes of Newsom, Pritzker, Northam, Whitmer, Kent, and the rest of the RAT human waste governors, mayors, and city councils.
My father was a veteran of WWII and the Korean War. I know he’s rolling in his grave at the total BS we’re living through now. The bastards out in our streets including the MSM, Liberal politicians, Deep State dishonor every American veteran going back to 1776 who fought for this nation to keep us free.
The Capitol police can guard Federal buildings tho. The Mayor only deals with Metro police.
I reading history, didn’t Truman nationalize the national guard and sent them to Korea while the regular army starting drafting and training?
