What the morons are doing with the military now is sickening, they are making a mockery out of the military — They are promoting and paying for “re-assignment” surgery, re-assignment surgery are you “F’n” kidding me. And promoting transgender, hell Klinger on MASH was transgender and he still used the men’s head....the only thing the leaders over the last seven years have done is intentionally try to break the most exquisite fighting force ever assembled in the history of mankind, and they almost got away with it.
The military has one job, one primary function and that is when diplomats and diplomacy fail you send in the military and we are designed to kill people and blow $hit up...period. You can try and hang a lot frilly happy face stuff on the military, but the bottom line is we succeed when diplomacy fails.

Our troops are AMAZING - and they give it everything they have. The problem is not them.
Since Viet nam, the military has been micromanaged by bureaucrats and non-military people. Our military has been, by policy, and rules of engagement, handcuffed.
I think Mr. Trump was addressing that. They have poor equipment. they have stupid rules of engagement, and there are not concrete definitions of what is the Victory and what are we trying to achieve and our strategy to end conflict.
My dad (WWII marine) often said that we should never send our boys into harm’s way unless we fully back them up. If all we have available is a pile of rocks, you give them the biggest pile you can assemble. You must unleash them to use those rocks to the best effect.
He further said often that it is immoral to send our boys into battle without those perimeters for ultimate Victory.
I know my dad would be standing up and cheering to hear this speech. I could hear his words echoed in it.
