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.

I don’t give this editorial a lot of credence. I doubt a lot of Flag Officers would actually talk to the Daily Beast. It reads like it’s based on more speculation than facts.

Not a single officer named. Completely unverifiable.

Typical of left wing bs articles attacking Trump and/Cruz. They often never cite a name or source. Often their bs posing as news cites unnamed sources!

Are those the flaming gay or the Muslim at the Pentagon? Maybe we could get reL leaders again.

Great news! The purging of the people responsible for allowing trannys to serve in the military is long overdue!

Well hell, I may have to rethink not voting for Trump if it gets rid of Obamas perfumed princes.

Can officers that Obama pushed out prematurely from the military be brought back under Trump?

Trump wants to build up the military & the Pentagon is gainst that?>

This doesn’t pass my smell test.

Good. We need to give Trump an opportunity to replace the senior officers who were complicit in Obama’s feckless defense of the country and turning the military into a laboratory for social experimentation.

Guess it’s not just the illegals who are going to self-deport.

Let’s face it should Trump get to be POTUS he should purge the military hierarchy of Obama loyalists, just like Obama got rid of the top generals in favor of his homo, affirmative action, unqualified officers.

Why would you omit the rump riding moslems that infest the halls of the Pentagon even to this day? I would expect the PC forces are strong and have severely infiltrated all services at all levels with the possible exception of the Marine Corps.

This is Washington.

These are the same jerks pushing social experiments on the troops and replacing actual military training with never ending SHARP crap. They’re also the ones who pushed the BS ROEs that screwed things up so bad in Afghanistan. They’re the reason that our guys are so frustrated.

I agree with them that most of the stuff tumbling out of the mouths of the candidates is insane. (Shoot down Russian planes?! REALLY?!)

I like Trump’s “let Putin handle it” approach.

On our military base, you see Trump t-shirts at the gym and Trump hats in the PX. No. These guys are NOT representative of the military and most of them are completely out of touch with the battlefield.

These are the officers who’ve survived 7 years of Obama’s grace. They’re the ones who replaced the guys who were run off by Obama or retired to get away from him.

Most of the denizens of Ft. Fumble are the jackwagons that were left when Ol’ Jug-Ears purged the military.

They are the ones with the well-used knee pads and the Tranie scars.

This is utter BS.

These guys didn’t say a peep for the last 7 years, but they will take a stand and quit if Trump becomes President?

Good, glad to see them go and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Being retired they will have time to read the Constitution and see they don’t know what they are talking about.

Utter BS.

Strange they should think this way....

Consider the source here. Perhaps 2 officers spoke like this. But, of course, the sky is falling!

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?

0bama Hussein has so infected the Officer Corpse with Purple Flag saluters that I’d be happy to see many go.
