“In the book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich some of the military leaders kept planning to or wanting to stand up but never really got there.”
Actually there were several attempts by German military officers to assassinate Hitler.
A word comes to mind!
“Megalomania”
A quotation by Bertrand Russell gives his interpretation of megalomania: “The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.”[5]

Gates’ book title is “Duty.”
I read that to mean PATRIOTIC Duty.
Gates’ mirror comment is consistent with my read.
Gates wan’t a betrayal. When we see a betrayal it will be so revealing it will shock even democrats.
“And he also criticized his “unwillingness” to explain to the public why the mission in Afghanistan was important and worth the sacrifice of those serving “
Sorry Bob, that would require Barry to stop campaigning and fundraising and actually govern. That’s a tall order for the purple lipped wonder boy.
The media chattering apes are angry that Gates pushed Obuma’s inequality propaganda off the front page. I give Gates credit for punching Obuma smack in the mouth.
Gates is a HILLARY SUPPORTER and ADMIRER of both of them.....he MUST be a DEMOCRAT!
