how dare you post that “tone” of communication to all the “no bad language” conservatives???


Gotta love this guy you posted quotes from. Relative of Patton? or MacArthur? or just your run of the Mill, retired Marine General.

Duncan Hunter Jr. if you want to go military, and still have someone who knows what’s really going on in Paul Ryan’s house.

Allen West.

West would be an interesting choice. Maybe Mattis for SECDEF.

Would picking General Petreaus be the ultimate trolling of Hillary?

I don’t know. I’m asking.

After Haditha, I wouldn’t recommend Mattis for anything more than a state legislator’s job. He is not presidential material.

He was caught engaging in illegal command influence trying to railroad the Haditha Marines falsely prosecuted for protecting their lives in Haditha, Iraq.

He should NEVER be anywhere near a heartbeat from the presidency.

IF you want a warrior general, then look elsewhere.

Wouldn’t West be great? He’s positively fearless, not to mention eloquent and razor-sharp. His conservative credentials are second to none, and he’s got the military box checked with room to spare. If Trump listened to me I’d beg him to choose West. As it is, I can only hope.

No offense to Allen West but I would prefer a very high ranking military person with lots of connections inside our military. Also with a very high IQ and a brilliant strategic mind.

Recent generations aren't that familiar with generals. It's not like it was back in the 1940s. Plus, military brass won't have much patience with the kind of massaging of voters that candidates have to do (admittedly, some generals do too much of that sort of thing -- being ingratiating with people they need to impress -- but those who hit the right balance of independence and persuasiveness are hard to find).

Unconventional candidates haven't had much luck with military running mates: Wallace-LeMay 1968, Perot-Stockdale 1992.
