I think Trump should fire 50% of all flag officers and not replace them. There are too many non combat empire builders (e.g. MDA).

“You’re all losers,” Trump said. “You don’t know how to win anymore.”

Our top brass has been that way since we stopped killing the North Koreans and their ChiCom buddies.

The military has been besieged by Political Correctness for decades to the point now where every officer and non-com is examined on their knowledge not of military tactics and history by the latest whims of all the multiplying minority interest groups.

Well, Trump’s right. Obummer replaced most of the good people with his lackeys, so there’s that...

From the sound of it, they were talking down to him. And he didn’t take it well.

They weren’t answering his core concerns. How do we win in Afghanistan, what would victory look like, and how do we get there. And if there is no victory that can be articulated, why are we there?

Every flag officer we have saluted the transgenderizing of the military by the Kenyanesian Usurper.
Those are HIS generals.

They are a bunch of dopes and babies.

“rash, barely considered, and a danger to America’s superpower standing.”

Or, alternatively, “bold, insightful, and a means of restoring America’s lost superpower standing.” The difference seems to be only one of perspective. Really, all they’ve said is that they disagreed with him.

Maybe Trump’s onto something.

Trump has travelled the world on business. To suggest he doesn’t know where countries are on the map is just more lying clichés from the dumb, dopey and babyish Washington Post.

Another good question was, why are we allied with Al Qaeda in Syria? Why are we allied with the people who wiped out most of the indigenous Christian population of the Middle East and did it with our dime.

Keep in mind that, by now, he knew who trained, funded, and armed ISIS.

If nothing else, I’m hoping Trump outgrew his infantile infatuation with U.S. military leadership very soon after his inauguration.

I think I’d turn to the five services (Space Force now included), and just say you each get one four-star general, and a limited number of three-star generals (say no more than eight per service).

He’s saying that our troops are not the mercenaries of the Koreans and Europeans and that they have to pay for our military presence that they agreed upon and reneged upon. What is so bad about that? Otherwise, we end up with Draft Dodger GW Bush making grand pronouncements about bringing democracy to wild places like Afghanistan using the blood of American troops and the money of American taxpayers.

I remember reading that, toward the end of Obama’s tenure, something like a hundred intel analysts resigned because their reporting on Syria was being doctored to fit what Obama’s White House wanted to hear.

Trump wasn't Swamp enough, and was getting in the way of the globalists well laid plans. These scumbags really thought THEY owned our foreign policy. They were encouraged in that thinking for decades by at least 4 presidents.

Fraudulent patriot Mattis (who wanted us pay for trannie-soldiers sexual mutilations) immediately took a job with a huge lobbying firm - proving what a POS he is and always was.

More garbage from the compost. The writers of this hit piece should suddenly vanish never to be seen again. They are as much or more the enemies of America as any Iranian towel head. The term traitor applies to people like this. The fact that they go on with their day to day lives simply shows how law abiding those of us who voted for Trump are.

" Tillerson and their aides decided to use maps, graphics, and charts to tutor the president, figuring they would help keep him from getting bored."

Story time at the Washington post. What I don't understand is how anyone believes their stories.

The military and Department of State are stuck in a bullshiite paradigm of “Hearts and Minds” that was probably thought by the Soviets to weaken us. It didn’t work in Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq. All it has done has been to attrit the best soldiers on the planet. Thank God for Trump.

[[and, even, where countries were located.]]

Hey Wapo- Not that you’d ever noticed because your heads are so far up your butts- but here’s you beloved messiah Obama:

“When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking — whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia...” (As he spoke to Hawaiians)

“I’m here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.” (Speaking via satellite while in Kansas)

“I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.”

“We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad.”

“One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world — Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard.” he pronounced the ps in “Corpsman”

“It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing.” (While speaking to Germans- Imagine if President Bush had said any of these things?)

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” (12 people died)

“No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something.”

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

Though clearly not its intention, this article made me love Trump more. :D

He’s right. When was the last time they won anything?
