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.

This is excellent news indeed! You can almost bet your last dollar that those who will be quitting were promoted/appointed solely based on their LGBTXYZCOLORGENDERness.

I would tell Trump to bring back the hundreds of officers that Obama drummed out of the military.

Yes! A one for one exchange, on the assumption that the ones who survived must be Obama bootlickers. The last two Dem admins have successfully politicaized EVERYthing (Justice Dept including IRS, military, schools). That's the new reality so it's going to have to be tit for tat from now on.

If they are the ones 0bummer didn’t fire, then good; then re-hire the ones he kicked out.

To be sure, those views are not uniform. Commanders deployed outside the Pentagon said they hear enlisted troops enthusiastically support Trump. Some describe enlisted service members fighting with family or other soldiers in defense of the real talk from the real estate mogul. But the Pentagon is an unusual military posting, one where it is easier to spot a general than a corporal. And if the divide between the enlisted and officers is true, the former—the base of Trump’s military support—are not a well represented population within the headquarters of the United States military.

Yet another divide between the real world (deployed soldiers) and the elites (in the Pentagon).

Trump can recall them to lead all-female SpecOps teams into battle. That’ll learn ‘em.

Strange they should think this way

Not really, when you think about it.

After even years of Obama forcing out or outright firing military leaders, mostly what's left are bootlickers of the worst kind.

The Pentagon is filled with leftist sympathizers and social warriors - look at the crap they're imposing on the troops.
Those who would not do it have left the service, one way or the other. They couldn't beat it and were too moral to accept orders they deemed too odious to follow.

The “commanders” were replaced with “yes men” years ago in the Great Pentagon Purge. Them all leaving would free up space for true patriots to fill.

Trump needs to purge the Pentagon of all the lickspittles that Obsama promoted when he got rid of 137 loyal senior officers to be replaced with his hand-picked, politically correct flunkies.

Same guys who have been Obama’s “Yes” men? Advised him on the Iraqi retreat date? If so, good riddance. That would be almost enough to vote FOR Trump!
