Tom Nichols: Trump put on a disturbing show for America's generals and admirals.
The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/ ...

#1: Hi Doc Sarvis: Decades ago one of my assignments was at the JCS and the flag officers I observed or worked for, either Republican or Democratic, were sane, sober, and cool-headed. With all of the purges and 'pep talks,' Pete Hellsbreath and Dummkopf Trumpf want to populate the Dept of 'War' with USAF General Curtis "Let's Nuke the G--ks" LeMay clones. Sidenote: During WWII, George Wallace served as an NCO in a unit commanded by Curtis LeMay, his future 1968 VPOTUS pick.
One wonders if the Dotard-in-Chief and "Pickled Pete" watched this film recently: images01.military.com
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a combat veteran who lost her legs in Iraq, called for "the least qualified Defense Secretary in history" to immediately resign. She added that Dummkopf Trumpf's idea to use US cities as training grounds for the military is un-American. The risky event itself, which involved considerable expense for generals and admirals to travel from around the world, amounted to a "partisan diatribe" that wasted military commanders' time and taxpayer money, Duckworth emphsized: apnews.com
US national security certainly is in good hands: image.cagle.com
#3: Methinks you are correct, Doc Sarvis! res.cloudinary.com
BTW: Too bad Nixon didn't watch this 1970 war epic with Rod Steiger instead: 2.-------------
