Trump Continues To Push Some of the BEST People Out of the DoD

Think about it. The 9-11 terrorists were attending flight school while Bill Clinton was busy bombing Yugoslavia into the stone age. Our "intelligence" networks couldn't figure out that Benghazi might be a target on the anniversary of 9-11 and everyone in the Obama administration seemed powerless to help the defenders as they ran out of ammunition. Obama apparently used the FBI to conduct an illegal surveillance on a political opponent and now the crazy left is suddenly worried about "the Defense Innovation Board"? Give me a freaking break.

That had to do with Hillary paying a private company to do protection there and not Marines. It wasn't even a GOOD private company. That had nothing to do with the guys I'm talking about in this thread.
Defense is defense and hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Benghazi was Obama's responsibility but the media circled the wagons and Barry and Hillary were off the hook. So far the Trump administration has managed to bring North Korea to the negotiation table for the first time in half a century and the crazy left is crying about a member of the "Defense Innovation Board". Does that sound logical?

I hate to tell you this, but the President doesn't make every single decision in government. That's why they have such people as a Sec. of Defense, Sec. of State, etc. Do you think Trump is making all these decisions going to meetings at noon, going to bed at 6 pm, and playing golf 3 days a week?

During the Obama administration as in all democrat administrations the mainstream media acts as the propaganda arm. Benghazi was Obama's problem but with the cooperation of the media he managed to dodge responsibility and so did Hillary. There is no dodging in the Trump administration and so far he seems to be doing an historic good job in less than two years.

You totally ignored what was said. Do you REALLY think Obama makes the decisions on who protects the consulate in Libya? Seriously?
 
was 'mcraven' the guy that pulled the trigger on 'bin laden' or was 'mcraven' sitting in some chair in the 'philipines' watching on some camera as Rob O'Neil from Montana pulled the trigger that sent the bullets into ' bin laden' which killed 'bin laden' ?? 'mcraven' is a 'democrat' and is one of 'mrobamas' boys so i am not impressed or do i care what 'mcraven' says or does Lew .

McRaven dedicated 37 years of his life to serve his country and was a Navy Seal.

/——-/ Big talk from the side that loathes the military.

I don't have a "side." Almost everyone in my family has been in the military...

The only issue I have with our military is the fact we spend too much on it, and then have people complain when government money is spent for people to be able to eat.

The U.S. spends more annually on the military than the next 7 top countries COMBINED.


And it's still not enough. Ask your family members that were in the military how many times they couldn't do their jobs because their equipment was broke and there was no money for spare parts?

...and that's because of red tape and efficiency, NOT because of funds. The military branches recently told Congress they didn't want a bunch of new shit they don't need. That's what happens when you have bureaucrats that aren't in the field making appropriation decisions and not those that are actually hands on.

What was you in the military, E-3 E-4? Maintenance and procurement accounts are completely different. Congresscritters try to push equipment made in their States. BTW your link is years old.

That is one example. There was a recent one as well. The issues with the military budget is all about red tape and contracts to companies that are friends and give political donations.

BTW, have you seen the movie War Dogs?

 
Every Dim defended Obama's handling of the military. Why should anyone believe you didn't?


3 for 3. I'm not a democrat, and not every democrat agreed with what Obama did all the time. There is no fucking way you are an engineer. You aren't even smart enough to be a domestic engineer.

For example... Obama bragged about how good he was at killing people with drones. He caught flak for that from people on both sides.
A terrible example. War is war. Obama was wise to use the drones the way he did. Should have used them more. We should be using them EVERY TIME a terrorist cell pops up on the radar.

Even in war there are rules of engagement. Obama ran as a President that was going to get the U.S. out of wars... like entirely out of Afghanistan by Christmas. That didn't happen, and instead he bragged about using drones to kill people.
Figures when he did something right the left had a fit

Do you have any idea how many innocent civilians have been casualties from drone strikes?
Sucks to be them I suppose?

Of course it's about politics, they don't call it the military industrial complex for nothing. I was a purchasing officer for an overseas engineer project. Mansony sand that was quoted at about 3 USD per sqm when we did a site inspection and materials survey before the job, but after contracting got through piling on specifications it was 29 USD sqm. Same sand, and the $3 variety would have been just fine for the job.

McRaven is now gone, and rumors are Mattis will follow soon. Trump's actions before were just appalling and embarrassing, now they are actually dangerous and affecting the military intelligence and guidance of the U.S. The U.S. needs past leaders in the military to teach the younger guys what to do... and we are losing those patriots.

"Retired Adm. William "Bill" McRaven, who led the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, resigned from his post on the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board last month, just days after he publicly criticized President Donald Trump, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday.

"I can confirm that Admiral (ret) William H. McRaven resigned from the Defense Innovation Board, effective August 20, 2018,” Heather Babb, a spokesperson for the Pentagon, told ABC News on Thursday. "The Department appreciates his service and contribution on the board."

The Defense Innovation Board is an independent advisory committee to the Pentagon specializing in issues related to technology and innovation.

His resignation was first reported by Defense News on Thursday."

New York Times: The Relationship Between President Trump And Secretary of Defense Mattis May Have "Soured" To The Point Of No Return

154559_1068610739914929_1576951477640937800_n.jpg


Doesn’t this rag ever stop publishing this tripe? Or is it a desperate attempt to stay in business?

In its report, The Times cited more then a dozen administration and congressional officials saying that national security aides such as Mattis have effectively been iced out by Trump ahead of the 2018 congressional midterm elections. Trump is reportedly souring on Mattis based on policy differences on a number of fronts, and appears resentful of unflattering comparisons between the two men, the publication reported.

In addition, the president is reportedly looking to replace the four star general with someone “who would be more vocally supportive than Mr. Mattis, who is vehemently protective of the American military against perceptions it could be used for political purposes,” the Times reported.

Who the hell do they think will buy this garbage?

WarNewsUpdate Editor: According to the New York Times, anonymous sources are saying that the relationship "MAY" have soured to the point of no return. In short .... they do not know. As to the bigger question .... should he be replaced? There are pluses and minuses to replacing someone like Secretary of Defense Mattis. At the moment his position appears to be secure, but he serves at the pleasure of the U.S. President, and President Trump may want someone else.

/----/ If Congressman Joe Blow has a Doo Hickey factory in his district then he'll push for the military to buy a million Doo Hickeys at ten times the retail price. The fact the military has no need for Doo Hickeys is not an issue.
 
Oh, just hogwash. If appointees cannot support their Commander in Chief, then they need to go, period. That's how it works. That's how it has ALWAYS worked.

Bin Laden raid commander resigns from Pentagon board after criticizing Trump
He resigned because he can't be a loyal soldier...fuck him...TRUMP didn't push anyone out,this SNOWFLAKE left on his own accord...Mattis SUPPOSEDLY is on his way out because he and Trump butt heads on Trump's policies for foreign policy and a few other things....shit happens. Why would you keep someone you don't agree with when YOU are the boss? Personally I like Mattis and I think he has kept us out of a few major incidents with his calm head but Trump is the boss so what he says goes....wonder who will be his next SOD.

He gave Trump a chance to show he could be a leader, Trump failed over and over. Leaders don't accept responsibility only for success and then blame others for failures. Leaders don't stand next to the leader of another country that attacked us and take their side over his own people.

It's a sad state of affairs when we have citizens in our country, that one minute attack "kneelers" far saying they are disrespecting our military, and then the next minute call our military heroes partisan deep state pieces of trash the next. I'm not sure if some of Trump's supporters understand how stupid that looks. For a President that claims to be such a military supporter, he sure doesn't have many leaders from the military who support him back.
He is a disloyal PUNK who had no business being in the position he was,Trump is draining the deep state swamp and I love it! One less military leader who was disloyal and working AGAINST American interests for his OWN interests...No one attacked us snowflake,your candidate was just a SHIT candidate,who lied every time she opened her mouth,didn't give a shit about middle America and failed to listen to her TWO TERM former president husband!
Do you ever notice how none of your posts ever contain facts!
