Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President
NYT ^ | 10 17 2019 | Admiral William H. McRaven

If President Trump doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office.

Last week I attended two memorable events that reminded me why we care so very much about this nation and also why our future may be in peril.

The first was a change of command ceremony for a storied Army unit in which one general officer passed authority to another. The second event was an annual gala for the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) Society that recognizes past and present members of the intelligence and Special Operations community for their heroism and sacrifice to the nation. What struck me was the stark contrast between the words and deeds heralded at those events — and the words and deeds emanating from the White House.

BIG SNIP

And if this president doesn’t understand their importance, if this president doesn’t demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office — Republican, Democrat or independent — the sooner, the better. The fate of our Republic depends upon it.

#24. Was McRaven one of Mabus’ asskissing buttboys in his “Queens’ Navy”?

Interesting. If it was set up by POTUS can POTUS disband it? Always thought Truman was a little naive not seeing the communists in the government but apparently spot on about the CIA

William McRaven is concerned about the outcome of the coming election...the Navy Seal is confused...in the last 3 years, America has been subjected to a coup 24/7 of a duly elected POTUS...President Trump was warning about the same Deep State people (Americans) continuing their quest for power at the expense of the American Citizen should The Republicans win over the Socialist/Marxist.

Admiral William McRaven supports the Marxist BLM?
