Some people have really turned on Mattis, but I really respected his decision to resign when he didn’t agree with Trump’s policy decision.

Yeah, I always took his POW remarks to simply be a case of extremely poor taste in lashing out at John McCain... but aimed only at McCain and not the POW's en masse. Until today, I didn't put much credence into the allegations he's said disparaging things towards WIA and KIA. However, Gen John Kelly's remarks today on the issue are disturbing. I can't imagine Kelly is lying, or that he even "misunderstood". I'm curious how Trump will react to this in the coming days.

The man has literally zero brain to mouth filter. He will call anyone and everyone a loser, disloyal, lying, cheating, crooked, bird brain etc.. when it suits him and for any reason, or even without a reason. Juvenile name calling is one of his few core competencies.

Have you ever had someone "anonymously" accuse you of something severe? I'm not a Trump apologist, so don't try to frame me as one. I gather from your reply you are not a fan. Noted. I attempted to frame my post in a non-biased manner. Please respect that. Edited October 3, 20232 yr by HuggyU2

October 11, 20232 yr Quote Posted September 30 This generations Merrill McPeak. I worked for McPeak for a little while. He was eccentric and a frustrated fashion designer. He did some good things, like reducing stovepipes to reduce support empire building . But McPeak never openly worked against his chain of command. He wasn’t trying to be a media darling.

Speaking of media darling, he recently interviewed on 60 minutes about a lot of this stuff. Interesting interview.

I also think there may be a case of trying to rewrite history in the debrief. Also, not sure how or why the senior officer in the US military had to learn some of those lessons without knowing ahead of time.

Biden gave the presidency to Trump, and now he's giving him the moral authority to do anything he wants while in office. I couldn't have asked for a better finale to the Biden show.
