We should be so lucky as to have Charlie sheen running the Pentagon.

Seriously.

At some point in a military career, it would seem, an officer sells his soul to the White House in order to further his advancement.

At that point, he gets behind whatever fantasy the president and his administration are attempting to foist off on the public.

Depending on who resides in the White House, this can be bad or it can be worse.

With the utterly feckless Obama in the White House, upper echelon Pentagon personnel are now in the position of Alice in Wonderland - trying to sell the most idiotic notions to the American people and looking like stooges while doing it.

[trying to sell the most idiotic notions to the American people]

Ah, what CNN/CBS/ABC/NBC/Yahoo!/etc. do every single day of the week.

It’s so think, most people think it’s “normal and true”.

It’s unbelievable if you know what’s really going on.

America’s FIRST Muslim president thinks Americans are idiots. So far, he is right.

All the more reason to elect someone like Trump who has clearly stated he will make America great again and, that includes our military. Odumbo cleaned house of all the “good” military leaders and put those current and definitely ill equipped in place. I am certain there will be better new leaders forthcoming. We need to be rid of odumbo and his ilk first.

four female Marine officers who figured out how to scale an eight foot wall

In the bad, old days, didn't some big guy stand at the bottom and basically throw everyone else over using his hands as a stirrup? And the last two hung on the wall and reached down to help him over?

Is that how the four women did it?

It could not be more clear that Obama hates the military and has done everything he can to destroy it. And the senior officers have gone right along with him. I would fire every three and four star officer and start again. Also every senior civilian would have to go immediately.

It is also in the Al Queda training movies where one guy runs at the wall and leaps up it to grab the top and pull himself over. So we are training four women to be slower than one Al Queda operative.

Sounds like a real plan for success.
