Absolutely right. Maybe Trump is waiting for his reelection to open fire on these duds. This is just another example of what happened when he did not fire every Obama appointee, in and out of uniform on his first day in office. I am a retired Army Officer and ashamed of the modern Army. But I would pick out a high profile retired Officer who has been insubordinate and make an example of him after the election.
.........”Despite the fact these retired officers could be recalled and prosecuted, the chances of that happening are very, very small.”
Bears repeating.
Do it. Let Mattis endure the same BS he permitted against the Haditha Marines.
That is a court-martial offense,the swamp isn’t feeling as safe as it once did aka progress.
Even if they can’t LEGALLY be prosecuted, what’s to stop Trump from prosecuting them and ruining their lives, then dismissing the prosecution with a wave of his hand (Oopsy!). Why not? It’s what the Deep State tried with him.
But they won’t be. It’s just a warning.
Unless of course they misremember the contents of a conversation they had with their illegal alien gardener. In that case, Judge Emmet “The Persecutor” Sullivan will make it his personal crusade to try them and convict them of heinous thoughtcrime.
Do it damnit it jail the SOB’s until they retract.
They should be prosecuted especially the 4 stars. Those same four stars had no problem prosecuting other low ranking people when they were active duty for doing the same thing.

Maybe these gentlemen are part of the New World Order/One World Gov’t regime. The Clinton, Bushs and Obozo appear to be major advocates of this political movement. They want the collapse of the American political system. The military would play a major role in a movement like this.
Call them back just to make them give up their seat on a DoD contractor’s Board of Directors and all stock options given to them.
Does Pence ever speak up to defend Trump and challenge Trump-haters?
It used to be that VPs would sometime be the president’s “hatchet men”. Agnew fought the press on Nixon’s behalf , for example
I don’t see Pence taking bold stands against the hate-Trump crowd. But maybe I’ve missed it
Pence seems like an old-fashioned timid, grin-and-bear-it Republican when it comes to confronting liberals and the media But maybe I’ve missed something?
Call them up and send them all to Point Barrow, Alaska, for the rest of Trump’s presidency. If there’s a problem with Point Barrow not having a military facility, send them all to either Thule AFB or Diego Garcia.
It’d be hilarious to recall those GENERALS to active duty...
court martial them...
bust them down to 1st lieutenant...
then dismiss them back to retirement.
let them enjoy retirement at O2 / GS8
no talk shows will put you on air after that.
