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

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.

Nancy A. Youssef and the Daily Beast. No names mentioned. Nothing to verify. The new occupation narrative.

Perhaps because they know he’ll require them to be competent.

Nancy Youssef can either name her sources, or STFU and GTFO.

Simple as that.

That should be enough to revoke any security clearances and to tell them to resign asap.

(?!?) Just to clarify... I meant, “...did we want [the quitter military man] in the military leadership in trhe first place?”

Are you saying that “we want someone in the military who’ll threaten to quit if Trump is elected”?

If they are still here under Ohole given what he is doing, and only Trump makes them quit, I would mark that in the win column for the country.

That’s like all the liberals who always promised to move to Canada if Bush was elected. Or re-elected.

Good!

We need to purge the PC morons that Obama appointed and bring back the Patriots he fired.

The only officers left in the Pentagon anyway are the pussies who love Obama and the Kool-Aid drinking asswipes who have convinced Obama that they’d fire on American citizens if ordered to do so.

The military leadership ranks could use a good flush and fill.

If he doesn’t then he will show himself to be no more effective as an agent of change than Romney would have been.

Yeah, thinking the same sort of thing. In the tank with Obama’s ideas.

Good riddance. This is the house cleaning we need.

Is that a threat or a promise? Maybe these Pentagon heads can quit and get a job in public schools where they can continue to ruthlessly eliminate Christianity.
