MSgt Steve Sweeney - He has supported Trump. He was his SECDEF. Yes, he left, I suspect over not caring for his foreign policy in the middle east and wanting to end our 20+ year wars/action in the middle east. The pentagon has been wrong before.
I hate what decades of identity politics, entitlement, political correctness and a host of other things have done to the country. Look at the riots in the streets. Looting, arson, murder, assault, businesses and lives destroyed. Legitimate protest over the hideous death of a man has brought us to the destruction we are now seeing. What is happening is unjustifiable and is on local mayors and governors to correct/police.
This is where the establishment political class has taken us. We cannot even agree that all lives matter and should be equal under the law. If you say that you are called a racist.

MAJ Ken Landgren 19 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, virtually no opposition to interventions in Libya and Syria, aggressively pursuing the expansion of NATO in spite of the fact the original threat was gone. Do you want me to go on? Maybe Trump's comments have some basis in reality.

MAJ Ken Landgren - Also, remember Panetta's comments about Mattis during the Obama Administration, where he was allowed to Retire rather than be fired as CentCom. According to Leon Panetta, the Obama administration did not place much trust in Mattis because he was perceived as too eager for a military confrontation with Iran.[70] Panetta later said Mattis lacked "the maturity to look at all of the options that a president should look at in order to make the right decisions".

Capt Gregory Prickett - Bullshit. He has the ability to use it. No order has been issued. All of your BS on Mueller, impeachment etc. is a fantasy you have constructed. There are no crimes, there are no charges, no indictments and no evidence all of the Russian Collusion BS was just that, BS.
You might want to watch some of the hearings with Rosenstein and company the varnish is off of the entire affair.
