Trump needs to go full Stalin on the top brass.

It seems to me this is an easy fix. Trump identifies the nationalist generals, elevates them and has them remove the globalists.

He could do a purge and it would hardly make news, these guys are pretty tight lipped most of the time, and the remaining ones surely would be.

Ironically, it was a hard-core leftist radio host in the NYC area who had Mattis pegged perfectly years ago:

“In my experience, any man with a nickname like ‘Mad Dog’ is an ‘effing p#ssy.”

There was something wrong with the top military 40 or 50 years ago when they began accepting lies, mouthing lies and saluting lies and absolutely requiring the same of all beneath them.

Today there is barely any organization of any kind that isn’t doing the same. PC has invaded Politics, the schools, businesses big and small, police depts, science labs etc. Toe the line or get out...or far worse.

Our Culture today is based on BULLSHIT. Evil controls it now as from the very start when it REQUIRED the lie.

Thanks for your service, Chainmail. I did make O-6, and realized pretty early that the meritocracy only applies up to the level of Colonel. Getting a star requires the blessing of a tiny cadre of people who already have them, and you are correct: many of those who get the stars turn into go-alongs for the political elites. I’m sure my open Christianity didn’t help my chances either. But I did get to spend my last 10 years leading and mentoring the “kids” one-on-one, which was an honor and a blessing. The 30 years were a privilege - and enough.

Colonel, USAF TJAGCR (ret)

E-5’s and O-3’s run the day to day of the military.

Actually Dana perino explained why. She said Bush didn’t sit with Woodward and the result was a smear of lies. She said Bush thedid sit with Woodward and it was bad as well.

It won’t change anyone’s mind so what the heck. Everyone knows Trump was on the virus from the start.

The long, deliberate push left in America was effective. In our military, schools, media, churches and children.

It is a cancer that spread and has now metastasized.

My sentiment exactly. Disgusted that Trump would give this guy access. Now Woodward says Trump is unfit, then by golly, gee, it must be so! sarc/off

Spend more time cleaning up the military, and the ‘intelligence’ agencies, esp fbi

If Trump wins they may move on in a coup—with support from the Democratic Party and the Left wing Media. Attack the White House, Kill Trump and Pence, Nancy P. will be sworn in by Chief Justice Roberts, and hope the people sit back and complain on their computers. A few Parties in the streets and purges of Trump Supporters and they just might get away with it. A little more Covid-19 Fear and they just might get away with it-—BUT THE USA WILL BE FOREVER CHANGED.

With your background, do you think that an executive branch culling of the politically and ethically corrupt military brass can be peacefully achieved given the lefts control.of the media?

Seems to me that in the end, historically, that sort of change, for good or bad, almost always comes down to the colonels seizing the reins.

military training went soft since the 50s. Generals want one more star.. and a war.. any kind.. is how to get that promotion.

everything is in competition to get ahead .. men have to climb up the ladder.. when introduced.. isn’t the first question about what do you do for a living.. and doesn’t everyone put a fake good face on facebook..

competition to be better .. to have the best.. pride rides high in the business world.

some years ago girls did not all go to college. many kept the home fires going.. then women got shamed into going to college.. a ‘housewife’ was considered lazy .. get a job... and to afford that big house, it took 2 salaries.

military... ranking men have a different view of country...than in the past.. they became the elite like Washington and congress have.. and they want control like hillary wants control.

for all and in all... the only person who cares for us is Pres Trump.. the rest put on a fake picture till they have the power to call all peons to the field.
