There’s a precedent for taking out generals/admirals.

Donald Trump’s decision to assassinate Qassem Soleimani was rooted in the US president’s narcissism and designed to distract voters from his impeachment, a furious Canadian corporate leader has said.
Michael McCain, the chief executive of meatpacking firm Maple Leaf Foods, said one of his employees had lost his wife and 11-year-old son in the downing of a Ukrainian Airlines passenger jet on 8 January, following “a needless, irresponsible series of events” instigated by Mr Trump.
The airliner was brought down by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shortly after the force rained down ballistic missiles on two US bases in Iraq, in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing.
Tehran has admitted responsibility, blaming the incident on human error and American “adventurism”. Vast crowds of protesters have called for president Hassan Rouhani to resign over the deaths of 176 people in the missile strike.
In a Twitter thread on the official Maple Leaf Foods account, Mr McCain said: “I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry.
“U.S. government leaders unconstrained by checks/balances, concocted an ill-conceived plan to divert focus from political woes.”

Blaming Trump for shooting down a civilian airliner is a stretch even for this idiot.
“Michael McCain, the chief executive of meatpacking firm Maple Leaf Foods, said one of his employees had lost his wife and 11-year-old son in the downing of a Ukrainian Airlines passenger jet on 8 January, following ‘a needless, irresponsible series of events’ instigated by Mr Trump.”
McCain thinks Iranians are a bunch of monkeys, who can’t be held responsible for their own decisions and actions. What a racist.
Soleimani was not assassinated.
The General was a proper military target on a mission in a country not his own who was targeted with military weapons.
My opinion of Canada used to be good. The fake Human Rights Commissions and the America haters have brought it down to the level of China.
McCain!? I guess being an A$$HOLE goes with the name.
Maple Leaf Foods had a listeria outbreak that killed > 20 people. And this CEO is not in prison for murdering 20 people.
Just saying.
What impeachment?
This Canadian moron did a hat trick in one sentence. Trump is an irresponsible narcissist who wanted to distract against impeachment and brought a commercial plane down in the crossfire. Three fake MSM storylines in one sentence.The New York Times just offered him a job
There are many people who see the fascism of Iran attractive and wish that US capitalism was abolished. The USA poses a threat to fascism, this CEO sees fascism as the answer to the worlds problems
Just go back to whatever it is you do and we'll protect the free world, okay?
What a hoser.
Whoa. Interesting tidbit. Should be shared far and wide.
The McCain family, for sixty years, has profited financially from being vociferous Liberal Party supporters. This is just another example. Ignore them.
It’s much safer to publicly criticize Trump than to criticize an Ayatollah.
In their unanimity against everything Trump, it really raises my eyebrow into how inter-connected the elites are with their self-interest of stopping Trump.
And that begs the question: “Just how much money and freedom is the Swamp and crony capitalism costing the average American????”
I assume the answer is far more than we could ever imagine. . . .
Time to boycott Maple Leaf Foods. Their website reads like a bunch of leftist virtue signaling.

Their brands include Maple Leaf, Schneider’s, and >>> Swift <<< which is frequently found in the USA.
