WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama called for a smooth handover of control of the U.S. military to incoming commander in chief Donald Trump, as the outgoing president met Wednesday with military leaders for the last time.

"We've got to make sure that during this transition period that there is a seamless passing of the baton, that there's continuity," Obama said. He said it was critical to ensure that "we are doing everything we can to make sure that the next president will benefit from the same kinds of outstanding advice and service that these people around the table have provided me."

Democrats dissemble. If they are subverting the military or command processes, they announce how they are actually protecting same.

Look for Obama payoffs to chain of command or structural supporting role players set in place to damage the US.

Is that the baton, in his left hand?

Calls for? BS. He’ll try to sabotage it. I suspect Trump will remove ALL Generals in current office.

Russia laughed at him when he tried to instigate WWIII - so he and his appointees have to put on a facade to avoid the punitive consequences for treason.

I’d expect Barry has vi$ion$ of an Obama Shadow Gravy Train modeled after the Clinton Regime Change Investment club.

It’ll take a while for Trump to undo the purge.

“Obama calls for seamless transition for US military to Trump”

I can assure this dope that it was so seamless that it moved faster than light.

Seamless, yeah, right. There are a number of relatively high-ranking general and flag grade officers who took retirement early, rather than bend to the will of the Current Occupant. Perhaps some several of these may be persuaded to return to service, while a different bunch of general and flag grade officers find the next months or years to be a little uncomfortable for their personal tastes.

Butt-smoochers need not apply.

For the first time, I am actually geniunely concerned about an American Junta. That is because:

A) Everything Obama says is a lie. Therefore, he met with military leaders for other reasons. Nefarious reasons.

B) This is Yahoo News, who writes nothing but pure propaganda.

Better hurry, Barack - you'll be late for your goodbye speech to the military.

If anything in government has been the victim of “fundamental transformation,” it’s our military. Obama did his best to make it a lab for the weirdness he wanted to impose on everyone in America. Drain that swamp ASAP!
