Pentagon Officers: We Quit if Trump Wins
The Daily Beast ^ | 12/16/15 | Nancy A. Youssef

Posted on 12/17/2015 9:08:34 AM PST by mrbinga

The plans of the next president are personal to the officers of the Pentagon, who are threatening to quit if The Donald becomes commander-in-chief.

Republican presidential candidate and business mogul Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to build up the U.S. military if elected president.

But it is not clear he will have the experienced commanders within the ranks to do it.

In the halls of the Pentagon, there is a different plan afoot for the Trump presidency. Here, officers are privately contemplating what they would do should Trump become their commander-in-chief. And more often than not, they proclaim they will leave.

But they’d stick around for Hillary? Looks like some of Wesley Clark’s butt buddies are starting to sweat.

Personally, I’d love to see a mass resignation of officers. In fact, I want them to sign their names to a post-dated resignation letter that will become effective in January 2017 if trump is sworn in.

I think this is gossip from a few malcontents. Most true army people would be thrilled to get a president who supported them instead of tying their hands behind their backs.

Let me get this straight: some keyboard jockey at the Beast is just sure that professional officers who have put up with 0bama turning them into a gay chorus line are going to quit because they don't like what some politicians have said they might do with regard to actually killing enemies. That the military is going to be demoralized when Bat-ears and his Nobel Peace Prize and his clown car full of antiwar relics hit the bricks. Color me just a tinge skeptical, but hey, anyone who would leave on that basis needs to, and don't come back.

More than likely, they are Obama brainwashed traitors. He’s had 7 years to weed out high ranking patriots. What’s likely left are sycophants and traitors, IMO.

You are right. That is what this article is quoting, which is the minority in The Building.

Just wait until Trump fires the first person anywhere in the government. I recall Bush being lambasted for firing 3 U.S. attorneys.

I’m sure its already been said in 200 plus replies, but, if you have reached the upper echelons of the military under Obama you won’t be there under Trump or a couple others anyway.

Journalistic malpractice.

This article emerged solely from the author's ethnicity.

Look at her name: Youssef. It’s all BS. If any do quit because of Trump, it will probably pale next to the number that have quit due to Obama.

I am convinced it’s because Trump is a threat to the status quo, the Network, the Establishment, or whatever euphemism you call it.

But he is a threat to The Glorious Cause Of World Socialism, and that is enough to earn himself and anyone who supports him death threats, as evidenced on the campaign trail and in social media from the ACLU.

They must like the idea of being a tool and cannon fodder for the globalist elites.

Good. And they can go into exile with the queer CinC that put them in place. Leave, or get purged, just like your glorious leader obama did.

I would bet a paycheck this is completely made up out of whole cloth. The Daily Beast is not beyond that kind of tactic. It reeks of desperation.

I’m a Cruz man, myself, but... if someone quits the military leadership because Trump is elected, did we really WANT him in the military leadership in the first place?

Yes
