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.

More than likely, they are Obama brainwashed traitors. He’s had 7 years to weed out high ranking patriots. What’s likely left are sycophants and traitors, IMO.

How much do you want to bet that they all received affirmative action promotions under Obama?

So, travelers put in place by 0bammy of the last few years, will leave? Sounds like a win-win. Saves the new POTUS the trouble of getting rid of them.

While I still don’t quite trust Trump, every day I get a new reason, like this, to support him.

Funny, they didn't quit when Obama won.

Who cares? Trump can bring back all the ones Obama got rid of or drove away.

Don’t worry about it “general”. If Trump wins, you’re all going to be fired. The REAL generals already quit when your boy Barry got elected.

That really is a great way to look at this. All the morons who leave on their own are fewer Trump will have to purge!

LOL!

This is bogus- sounds like the political appointees, not the active duty.

Best those aXX kissers leave before they hear those famous words: “You’re FIRED”

These would be the officers who kissed Obama’s butt to get promoted. Good riddance.

Let me get this straight.

They didn’t quit when an anti-American leftist was elected.

But will quit when Trump is elected?

Maybe it is just as well that they go.

This is quite alright. I am certain that among the many officers Obama fired, there are quite a few that would take their place.

This is BS...One of the hallmarks of the military is submission to civilian control. If there were no mass defections under Clinton and Obama there will be none under Trump. The military will love Trump, for a variety of reasons, mainly because he loves the veterans. The GOPe is just unbelievably pathetic.

They want to quit, good riddance to them.

These are not the Allen West or Pattonesque type of officers. These are political hacks.

Oh noes. The generals loyal to political correctness, Obama and his feckless, weak leadership are going to leave? Looks like on Day One, we win when the adults are back in charge.
