Thank goodness the NYT is there to give us the truth so we can start tearing down those walls too! The Few, the Proud, the White: The Marine Corps Balks at Promoting Generals of Color
They have no clue. The vetting process for stars is more intense than supreme court justices. If he was passed over, there was good reason.
I suspect if you asked him... he'd say the same. I don't see that he was actually interviewed for hit piece...
AJ..... I have this one question for you only.... Please read this article below and tell me what is going on truthfully.... why can Trump speak so disparagingly of the top military brass and deceased soldier patriots and yet in his mind and maybe yours too be so accepted by those in military? I mean I know that with his supporters he is Teflon Don.... never held accountable..... not ever.... no matter how damaging his words and actions would be to almost everyone else on the planet in his position. So tell me AJ...... what's your adoring take on all this? Trump launches unprecedented attack on military leadership he appointed - CNNPolitics
Here's a quote by a man who was a 5 Star General and President "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together" Ike knew what he was talking about.
James Mattis on Trump.... "dangerous, unfit and no moral compass" Just heard retired 5 star general Wesley Clark totally tear in to Trump in much the same way. Said he doesn't understand how diplomacy works and the need for consistency in our world relationships.
Wesley Clark who ran for president as a DEMOCRAT???? Wow!. So when Obama reneged on our pledge to give anti-ballistic missiles to Poland and the Czech Republic, that was consistent? So if NATO countries year after year don't meet the commitment to the alliance, that should be continued so that we're "consistent"? WTF, no wonder Clark got no where on his campaign.
That's mostly what he deals in AJ. He said he was done with us, that BS didn't last long either did it?
