Ex military = ex government worker. Unless they prove otherwise they are government workers first.

Kelly has no credibility as he has obviously become a partisan Democrat politician

He is wrong about North Korea. North Korea has been stalling an agreement because they, like Iran, have been told by Democrats that President Trump would be impeached and removed from office and the new administration will be filled with the likes of General Kelly who will be more favorable to them.

Guys like Kelly are trying to stall the agreement to prevent President Trump from winning a huge, historic victory in ending the Korean War and dismantling Kim’s nuclear program

The jarhead would have been better off pushing his hoorah in a book. He didn't even get paid for that gig.

.……...I tip my hat to the Kelly Family service to our country
and particularly the fact that they lost a son in service to our country.

That said, Kelly, like all Generals, has a HUGE ego due to their ass being kissed every day for decades and he got his ass fired by a Civilian with Red Hair and he’s pissed. One thing he’s accomplishing is that future presidents will justifiably look at Kelly and his big mouth and ego and just not hire Generals and Admirals in the future.

John Kelley was a neighboring battalion commander with me a while back and he was impressive in his intellect but a bit on the pompous side. He is very capable but a sucker for attention, sometimes.

He needs to avoid reporters.

aid that Vindman is blameless and was simply followed the training he’d received as a soldier; migrants are “overwhelmingly good people” and “not all rapists”;

I love being spoken to like I was a 5 year old.

Sounds like he’s the good chance of being the leaker.

“He did exactly what we teach them to do from cradle to grave,” Kelly told the audience at the Mayo Performing Arts Center. “He went and told his boss what he just heard.”

Bravo Sierra.

When you are listening in to CIC on the line with the president of another sovereign state, your next-in-line is THE CIC, not some goddamn soy boy in the CIA!!

Correction for Kelly: "Trump’s decision to condition military aid to Ukraine on an
investigation into his political rival Joe Biden upended long-standing U.S. policy."

CORRECTION: A concerned Trump called on Ukraine to investigate corruption which was according to long-standing U.S. policy
set in motion by then-Pres Clinton, and the handling of US foreign aide by Obama's point man in Ukraine ---Joe Biden
(who's political hopes were on a downward spiral) .....and his son Hunter's lucrative Ukraine sinecure at Burisma.

You know, Stalin also purged his officers. Do a little research on how the beginning of WWII went for the Soviet Union.

Purging 8 years worth of flag officers is a monumentally stupid idea.

Money shot right there. Show me the people that have done more than Trump.

Kelly is the second worse Trump appointment. Has he ever explained why he took the chief of staff job in the first place? Did he mention that he was part of the resistance? No and no.

Who picked all these Deep State anti-Trumpers for Trump?

Trump’s biggest mistake was to trust his picks to the GOP Establishment who sabotaged him just as much or more than the Democrats.

“overwhelmingly good people” and “not all rapists”

Even if true, totally irrelevant. The supposed “overwhelmingly good people” invading our country are the sea which also carries in among them the rapists, drug dealers, and murderers. Most Germans in the 1940s were not Nazis. So what? We still had to go to war with them because enough of them WERE Nazis that they presented a threat.

Maybe the liberals living in walled, gated communities should take down their walls and gates because after all, most people outside their walls are “good people.”

Was it Jared and Ivanka doing the hiring? I have always been perplexed that Trump hired people who betray him all the time and they all tend t o be the Neocon Bush Republican types.

Trump's biggest mistake was trusting Jared then tied with letting Steve Bannon go.

Every illegal chose to break a serious US law.

Every second they are here.

At least with speeding, it is “over and done.” Heck, even rapists only commit crimes as they rape.

Illegals do so with every breath.

This occurred in the 8 years of Zero. He engaged in mass replacement of the top echelon of the military.
