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.

Proof that we have officers who are extreme left-wing liberals and should be purged as hostile to the United States in violation of their oaths.
And I am also resistant to the strain of Trump idolatry that substitutes for rational thought in some quarters.
Good. If they quit we won’t have to waste time and money firing them.
Funny, the more these assclown’s attack Trump, the better he looks to me. I have been a Cruz guy from the start, but I have never ruled out Trump. Hmmm
0bama’s Pet Perfumed Princes.
Traitorous morons. Fellating leftist dictators for that extra star before retiring.
He didn’t decimate the Command Staff, he just replaced them with his butt buddies.
Be good for the military if they all quit; cleans out all the rats and trash, course you have to make sure you get the ones hiding in the corners.
Accept and or demand their resignations; then replace them with real Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors.
And by that, I mean “REAL KILLERS”; that’s what we pay them to do.
“Any professional officer, who would threaten to quit publicly based on who would win the Presidency has violated the rules of conduct and should be court martialed.”
Define publicly. None of the officers (if there even WERE any) were quoted by name. I wrote a lot of nasty things about Bill Clinton on FreeRepublic, but not under my real name, and I kept my mouth shut in the squadron.
I doubt the reporter talked to more than 1-2 people.
Probably won’t leave, they will be indited. Obeeee boys.
Good! We can bring back the 180+ Obama has fired or had “nudged” out!!!
If they achieved flag rank under Obummer, good riddance, sparring the next the President a whole lot of pink paper.
If they quit, it will save Trump the effort of firing them.
You can t fire us. We quit!
*ping*
Youssef, maybe anti-ISIS, BUT certainly a Progressive liar who is appeasing the Moslem Brotherhood working for the rainbow house.
Assuming you are NOT lying, where were those ghost officers when 0b0z0 was elected and REELECTED? Why are they taking orders from the de facto CIC ValJar for seven long years?
If some of those ghost officers truly exist, I suggest that their unpatriotic behavior is caused by their fear of losing their positions and pensions.
I wrote the above before reading the article where I found this:
***
*By 2016 I will have my 20 years in and can get out of here, * one military official said, referring to the amount of time a service member needs to collect retirement pay.***
The anti-American generals are the very-near-future loyalists who will be responsible for bringing this about:

the country will be better off IF THEY QUIT...
only the obama azzkissers are left anyhow..
flush the septic tank and there are always generals to replace generals..
it’s the grunts that do the fighting ..
most gnerals
like obama
lead from the rear...sitting a a desk ... doing NOTHING
i hear some generals will come out of retirement when the dope obama is gone...
let the libtards much on that tidbit...
Didn’t Obama get rid of all the officers that didn’t agree with him? Their replacements are the ones that are talking.
Finally some good news. I just hope they will keep their word and quit.
Actually, he fired 7 in Dec 2006 and a couple more soon after, and yes, it was portrayed by the MSM as the end of civilization and the beginning of ruthless dictatorial rule. Clinton fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys in 1993 and that was portrayed as the President's prerogative, move along, nothing to see here. Of course that screwed with the careers of dozens of U.S. Attorneys as a cover for firing a handful that were onto the Clinton's shady, if not criminal, practices prior to his presidency.
From what I read of the article (sorry, busy day, not enought time to read the whole thing), it appears that those who are close to retirement eligibility will retire. My guess is, they’d retire when eligible no matter who was elected.
Not a single officer named. Completely unverifiable.
