Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen broke his silence Tuesday to say he was 'sickened' by the use of U.S. National Guard forces to push protesters out of Lafayette park to make way for President Trump's photo-op.

'I am deeply worried that as they execute their orders, the members of our military will be co-opted for political purposes,' Mullen warned.

'I have to date been reticent to speak out on issues surrounding President Trump's leadership, but we are at an inflection point, and the events of the past few weeks have made it impossible to remain silent,' Milley wrote in the Atlantic.

Beyond all the obvious failings of this particular critic there is another point. Much of the various criticisms of Trump and Trump actions is posed as if he is in an ivory tower proclaiming edicts all on his own. No, he has folks just like you sir, well, hopefully not JUST like you, advising him.

I shouldn’t have to break it to this idiot, but some of our
citizens are definitely the enemy.

The Pentagon is filled with progressives, liberals, athiests and anti-Trumpers. No different than the FBI,CIA, and NSA, all of which should be dismantled employee by employee, then rebuilt from the ground up. I have lost all trust in them and look upon each organization with disdain, distrust and wonder how their ranks could have been filled with so many dirty, corrupt, and unpatriotic employees?

He’s entitled to his opinion. I’m entitled to mine.

Let’s call Trump a coward for staying in the bunker, and then when he walks in public a block away from rioters, he’s now using the police for photo ops.

First sign of TDS is hypocrisy.
