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

Anybody know where Hill, Bill, and Chels are hanging out? And is Obama at the Vineyard retreat or in his walled castle? Or maybe in his peaceful home town of Chicago?

Yes, you are correct. But I believe Obama topped everyone as he induced a record number of “retirements” and reappointments in the military leadership. He was the last nail in the coffin. He HAD to replace a lot of staff to get his homosexualization of the military passed in his first term.

The deep state is much deeper than anyone could imagine.

Maybe let them have their way and when cities are burnt and destroyed, it’s on them, NOT POTUS.

If they were deployed but found to be unnecessary, revoking the deployment is the right thing to do, logistically.

The media, of course, have no idea about anything practical, so it is all political, and any chance to jump on President Trump is irresistible.

The only thing used was pepperballs. Think paintballs loaded with cayenne pepper powder. They sting like hell and make you cough and sneeze. The crowd was going back and forth between noncompliance and active resistance. It was a proportionate reaponse.

Why do I expect that next there will be a military coup against Trump? Are there enough Obama holdovers to attempt that? We are becoming a big third-world country.

Pure media s**t stirring. Milley’s memo contains no mention of the President at all, let alone any “public slamming.”

I’m not trying to pump anything up anyone’s fourth point of contact.

I’m calling it how I see it.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley publicly slammed president telling troops to ‘uphold the Constitution’

This guy has some serious issues if he thinks “his” soldiers can’t be used to uphold the Constitution!

The game here is to convince the public that Trump is powerless — isolated and abandoned by his own chain of command. It is part of the coup strategy.

Hate to say it, but USMC General officers have turned into neocon globalist snakes. The hell with them.

The point is even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff publicly opposed Trump and addressed himself directly to the troops, calling on them to “follow the Constitution,” as if Trump was violating it. Which he was not, everything he did is perfectly legitimate and within his constitutional powers.

But it’s a seriously bad sign when a senior military staff member - especially this one - publicly opposes the CnC and addresses the troops directly. That’s coup territory.

Mattis is a closet homo if you ask me. At his age, no woman in sight, no kids. Supports trannies and homos in the military. Slow walked Trump’s tranny order. Always very “dramatic” in the way he talks.

“I believe there was no teargas and/or the use of rubber bullets.”

Our ex-Generals rely on CNN to know whats going on.
