“I wonder about the Gen. James Jones who is supposed to be advising him.”

I have been wondering also. Any insights out there?

Just a civilian beancounter here but it is fascinating to talk to a real soldier about the dynamics of asymmetrical warfare. A lot of the old guard don't understand it and don't like it. Perhaps Gen Jones is of the old school. For goodness sake we all know Obie isn't a risk taker.

General Jones, is the former Commandant of the US Marine Corps. Sad but true. A politician in uniform.

He’s a retired USMC general officer. He’s a close friend of my best friend - though she’s also gone over to the dark side these days - and he’s apparently forgotten that it was Republicans (the Bushes) who made him but now he’s on Zero’s staff, ergo, he’s forgotten that he was ever a Marine - IMHO....if he had any integrity, he would have quit this administration weeks ago when it became apparent that Zero is totally anti-military (or at anti-US military)...
