“While he boasts of supporting the military,”

Noun 1. military - the military forces of a nation

The “forces” are the men and women actually doing the job!

THESE are the men and women Trump supports.

It’s like his support for “the police”.

The actual “police” not some “Chiefs of Police” political group.

Yep, two boy and two girl ‘journalists’ here.
I’ll bet one or two are gay, one is black, one is Hispanic. Any takers?

Mr. Trump overruled the chain of command...

Oh, brother. Somebody - four somebodies - don't know how their own government works. I'm surprised they weren't corrected by editors who were in the military...oh, yeah, silly me, this is the NYT.

"...the president finds himself more removed than ever from a disenchanted military command..."

He's the Commander in Chief, he is at the apex of the "military command", which is led by a civilian for obvious reasons (lost to the NYT).

When you see the NYTimes followed by Maggie Haberman a hit job is about to follow. Maggie is a shameless flack who lives off the lowlives who sneak news from the swamp to the paper.

>>Mr. Trump overruled the chain of command

Commander in Chief overruled the chain of command???

And the man was found not guilty in court. It was a petty action to limit his retirement.

Meanwhile the Fort Hood war criminal terrorist traitor got his pay and the victims didn’t get Purple Hearts. That was Obama’s doing. I know they eventually did received medals but Obama opposed it.

It’s not up the the Pentagon to “tolerate” the Commander-In-Chief.You either obey him or you resign.

What do we expect from J-School grads? They are young, dumb and full of shit. Their editors, however, should know better but they don’t think it’s necessary to report factual information or even historical knowledge in their reporting.

They are trying to create a break between President Trump and the military. Sec Def needs to get this under control fast.

“the president finds himself more removed than ever from a disenchanted military command”

It sucks to be them, doesn’t it? He’s the top dog and all of them could be gone next week. The superior and sanctimonious attitude of these people is astounding. They truly don’t get it.
