Pentagon Officers: We Quit if Trump Wins
The Daily Beast ^ | 12/16/15 | Nancy A. Youssef

Posted on 12/17/2015 9:08:34 AM PST by mrbinga

The plans of the next president are personal to the officers of the Pentagon, who are threatening to quit if The Donald becomes commander-in-chief.

Republican presidential candidate and business mogul Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to build up the U.S. military if elected president.

But it is not clear he will have the experienced commanders within the ranks to do it.

In the halls of the Pentagon, there is a different plan afoot for the Trump presidency. Here, officers are privately contemplating what they would do should Trump become their commander-in-chief. And more often than not, they proclaim they will leave.

Speaking as a former officer who retired in Oct 2008, just before Obama...anyone who has served under Obama but wants out if Trump gets elected NEEDS to be out - ASAP!

... if someone quits the military leadership because Trump is elected, did we really WANT him in the military leadership in the first place?

I am actually somewhat disappointed that the 'military leadership' did not launch a coup when it became clear that we had enemies of the Constitutional Republic running the Executive Branch.

If they could stomach the 7 years of the current bunch in the White House, but get the vapors at the thought of Trump winning the Presidency - then good riddance.

I may reconsider my choice just for this reason alone.

Lets see now . . . We are witnessing then systematic purging of Christians from all branches of the military

The promotion of homosexuality and transgender in all branches of the military

The promotion of mixed gender in special combat services

Yeah, am thinking they want to quit because Trump elected president? Hell I might even start campaigning for Trump. Good riddance of very bad people.

They will be asked to resign shortly after Trump becomes POTUS. Then, many will be facing charges of misuse of their positions.

There is no room for the pro Obama Perfumed Princits, Princessits and the whateverits in our military.

Half the stars in the pentagon are butt-kissing pencil pushers, and should be retired, anyway.

Any military officer who would quit because the American people elected a president should get out now.

-- Strange they should think this way, Honest to Gosh. Disappointing. --

Becoming a perfumed prince is a political activity. I'm not surprised in the least at this expression coming from the military leadership.

One more stick, for me, on the "vote for Trump" heap. I want these perfumed princes to quit and be disgraced.

One look at the ME and our years of losses... is enough. If the Lindsey Graham bunch at the Pentagon wants to walk - let’s wish them well and grab some replacements...

These are the same officers who loved taking their marching orders from the muzzie in the White Hut.

These are all Obama’s hand-picked PC shills. There are plenty of colonels ready to step up for a real CIC.

Exactly.

It takes a special kind of pathetic beta-male office puke to swear allegiance to a disbarred lawyer from Kenya, but to refuse to support the Troops because they will be working for a real man?

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, you pathetic scumbags!!!

Any officer who would make such a threat needs to be gone. Now.
