There are countries that do not tolerate speech critical of the government and its institutions. There are countries where citizens who publicly disagree with the actions of the government and its institutions are condemned as disloyal citizens, investigated and tried. There are countries where people with political views that differ from those of the governing authorities are subject to governmental abuse and ruin just because of their political opinions. We have a name for these countries. They are totalitarian.

Well then, is there any more questions on which side the military falls when SHTF?

The problem with McRaven’s point about attacking institution is that he doesn’t appear to have complained about the Left when they’ve been attacking them for decades. He only complains about it after the Left has seized control of those institutions and the right reacts.

mcraven is the retired admiral who gave a resounding speech at the, I think, U Texas graduation ("Don't ring the bell.") He went on to write an oped for the WSJ in which he wanted somebody to remove Trump from office by any means.

He should have been tried under the UCMJ, lost all pensions and benefits and jailed for sedition.

A walking, talking turd with ears.

And maybe its naïve on my part but what I see is every time Donald Trump Joe Biden does something wrong, then the left right gloats about it, the right left rants about it and it just begins to escalate. And we’ve got to find a way to deescalate this because the world is watching.

Because it cuts both ways - right, General McRaven?!

Fascists live fancy titles. Maybe Biden should elevate McRaven to the title of Grand Admiral or Marshal of the Navy.

The attitude of this admiral should disturb people.

Because the question I have is: what is our military defending, if its not the founding principles of these United States?

--- "Admiral McRaven to American people: “You need to shut up (except for me, of course)."

As with some posting in recent days of the openly Leftist, retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges who endorsed Biden in the 2020 general election and is being promoted again this cycle as he promotes Biden again, one finds the following about McRaven:

"...an astonishing number of retired American military leaders have stepped up in recent months to denounce Donald Trump, endorse Joe Biden, or both. The list includes four former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, each of whom have publicly slammed the incumbent president ahead of his re-election bid. But as regular readers know, one retired U.S. military leader in particular has gone further than most in warning the public about the man in the Oval Office. Retired Adm. William McRaven....

Admiral from bin Laden raid endorses Biden in dramatic fashion From The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC, 20 October 2020.

"William McRaven, the retired Navy admiral who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday."

Retired Navy admiral behind bin Laden raid says he voted for Biden Th Hill, 20 October 2020.

"Retired Adm. William McRaven wrote an op-ed article Monday in The Wall Street Journal saying he held certain conservative viewpoints but also believed in ideas like 'Black lives matter'."

'Black lives matter': Retired Navy SEAL who oversaw bin Laden raid says he voted for Joe Biden Business Insider, 19 October 2020.

The MIC of today is rising in this election cycle to support Biden.

McRaven. Hodges. And as one article above stated: "...four former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, each of whom have publicly slammed the incumbent president ahead of his re-election bid." (2020) They have not changed their DEMOCRAT spots.

McRaven is a hard-core Leftie.

What does William McRaven do now?
He currently serves on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)

Another candidate to have security clearance canceled by Trump. Let him go find another line of work.

When a man in his position is so obviously disloyal to a sitting President and makes himself useful to the Left, he is usually hiding and obfuscating a personal crime or unethical behavior. the rational being that the best defense is a good offense. Imagine there are some whistleblowers out there who with a bit of encouragement would come forward and give a Trump DOJ evidence to hold this guy accountable.

We could afford to be gracious toward the Germans, Italians & Japanese, only because we had DEFEATED them first.

The corruption of our justice system is a true threat to our constitutional republic. There are countless examples of people being prosecuted and jailed for their political beliefs.

Like I told Eric Holder in a letter in 2011, “Had I known what this once great Nation would become between you and Obama, I would not have spent 38 years of my life defending her. I would have moved out the United States, rather than live in a two tier justice system, where a homosexual agenda was destroying Christanity....

Raving McRaven.

Worthless POS who should have been court-martialed years ago.
