Trump as a Commander and Chief

[grizzman]

I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy about the Donald's capacity as a potential Commander and Chief.

I'm totally for the military leaders keeping our militaries plans out of the media.. I've never understood why the military EVER talks with the media... Not smart at all..

It would have been really bad if those planes, that did the fly by, would have launch some missles now wouldn't it have.. I personally know ex-military that can't believe we let that happen.

The rusky planes didnt have any bombs, they had electronic warfare. And I have heard that kicked our butts.

Remember when Biden outed SEAL Team 6, it was America’s single greatest loss of life in Afghanistan and the largest number of SEALs ever killed in one incident in history. It woudlnt hurt my feelings if that never happened again.

You probably didn't read the link otherwise you would know that the military leader in question was very careful about not divulging strategy or specifics. In particular, Trump was ticked about Odierno's exit interview. Sorry, military officers sit on their concerns but once they are out, they should speak out.

As a former military officer, I know that stupid reactions get people killed. This kind of cat and mouse has been going on since the early Cold War with both sides. Trump would start a war, because he doesn't have to serve (and never has).

Pretty sure he'll be ok with the Joint Chiefs doing their jobs again for a change. Once he recommissions/promotes some generals and admirals with a set.

Makes me nervous.

Once again, already been rejected selling my tables on classifieds because of " a conflict of interest".

So here is my thought,

Default
It's kinda crazy. There was once extremists on one side that felt so bad the country needed hope and change.
8'years later and a lot worse off there are extremists on the extreme other side that want hope and change.
Who wants to place a bet in 4 or 8 years we won't be any better off.

Could not have said it better! THe pendulum going from one extreme to the other aint the answer. Gonna be a heck of a ride boys and girls........either laugh or cry but it is gonna be bad whoever gets the final nod.
