As much as Revolver admires President Trump’s work on behalf of this country, he was not perfect, and his greatest mistake was probably the enormous deference he gave generals as a matter of course.
It was an understandable mistake, though. When Donald Trump was a boy, America had never lost a single war. The country’s World War 2 commanders were living legends who in less than four years built the U.S. military into the mightiest fighting force to ever exist and crushed powerful foes on the far side of two vast oceans.
Sadly, the generals of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are for the most part not as venerable as their forebears. America has a great military history filled with incredibly gifted men, and the shadow they cast today only exposes the humiliating depths the U.S. military command has fallen to today. To emphasize this important contrast, Revolver would like to present four of America’s most impressive generals, and four of its worst modern ones.

As a consequence of BOTH parties violating the Constitution and allowing Obama into the office the Constitution says he may not hold, all of our generals and admirals are the type who salute the transgenderizing of our military.
Accept queers and other alphabet people and this is what you get. It never fails.

The Taliban has a refuge in Pakistan from where they launch attacks in Afghanistan. The way to victory is to march into Pakistan like General Sherman’s march to the sea in Georgia.
Actually, this all began with allowing women the vote.
The military is another massive Fed.gov bureaucracy. Bureaucrats and politicians rise to the top
When a war starts and thousands are being killed, only then do real generals rise.
“Actually, this all began with allowing women the vote.”
Don’t forget the abominable 17th Amendment.
Ha! True dat!
We teach them to read, let them wear shoes and this is how they repay us.
There were plenty of duds “back in the day” — Benedict Arnold, George McClellan, Bull Halsey.
Having served in the Navy during the Rickover era, I would not use him as a comparison to today’s duds. He was pretty much just an a$$h0le.
Agree that today the percentage of “pretty boy” political generals and admirals is much too high. Political considerations influence most flag officers. It’s the “warriors” in their ranks who don’t allow them to cloud their judgment and decision making.
Our modern day generals are pathetic political hacks who wouldn’t know the first thing about winning any war.
This exactly why the next war will cost billions of lives.
I’m stone cold serious.
The women’s vote has lurched us hard to the left. More than anyone realizes. “Security above freedom” is the main damage done.
Bob Dole would have been elected President were it not for the women’s vote.
To quote the Chief of Naval Operations in WWII Admiral Ernest King: “When they get in trouble they send for the sons-of-bitches.” Except this time the SOB’s may tell the fairies to go to hell.
