Major General Singlaub was remembered from his involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal.
After reading his book Hazardous Duty, I realized that most people don't know is that he stood up and defied President Jimmy Carter about his stupid idea of pulling American troops, all 50,000 at the time, out of South Korea because South Korea was a military dictatorship that he did not like.
General Singlaub stood up to President Carter and lost his career as the Deputy Commander of the United States Army forces in South Korea. What people don't know is that he was military James Bond in World War 2 as an OSS officer who risked his life in France with the French Underground. He also risked his life at the end of World War II by parachuting with a few soldiers on the captured Chinese island of Hainan and he pretended to be a Major so we could get the Japanese Garrison commander on that island to surrender.
He also was in Nationalist China before they fell to the communist rival Chairman Mao. Mao's communmists had received captured Japanese weapons, ammunition and artillery from the Russians at the end of World War II which was a threat and eventually caused the downfall of the Nationalist Chinese Army under Chiang Kai-shek. In 1949, the Nationalist Government fled to Taiwan. So this man is a hero to me because he stood up to President Jimmy Carter. Had we pulled out, there would be a very high chance that today there would be no South Korea today.
Democrats are going to be upset IF and When when they have to give credit to president Trump if he pulls off this amazing feat of actually having North Korea negotiate an actual and verifiable end of the 1950 - 1953 Korean War on hold. There is still the chance of failure but today President Trump mocked the past administrations for trying to bribe the North Koreans. He is just using the big stick approach.
Some who disagree need to get a grip, just like they have not yet about losing the HRC election and poop it out and accept the fact that this may work! Let us make this a bipartisan approach. We have enough threats already in East Asia.

I agree, this is just terrible news for the Leftist Progressive Socialists Never Trumper Resist CIS gender crowd. First the Intelligence Committee ruled that Russia Collusion was a big fat goose egg and now peace is breaking out realtime in Korea. Oh MAGA. So much MAGA. I think its time for a LoneStar to celebrate. MAGA to you all, especially the snowflakes. Cheers.

Yep,, MAGA,,, Muller Ain't Going Anywhere. lol
By the way, MAGA is a non-starter. American has always been great. It certainly did not take a TV reality show host to make it so.

LTC (Join to see) - I personally have never claimed there was any direct collusion between Trump and the Russians, although from what we have seen of him, I don't think he would not tolerate such actions without approving it first.
I will await the end results on ALL the investigations.
