For all the leftists and politicized military pundits lamenting the dismissal of General Charles Q. Brown, where was your wailing about national security when Barack Hussein Obama fired nearly 200 Generals in five years? General Brown was released because he felt it more…

Milley claimed to be "a Trump guy" when he interviewed for CJCS. He then dis a 180 during the BLM riots and behaved in a seditious manner for the last six months of Trump's first term. Milley's patron was SecDef Robert Gates who put him on the path to four stars.

This interview with the former ASA for Personnel and Readiness, Casey Wardynski, is a wealth of information into Milley's background and the coterie of politicized careerist officer he picked to surround himself. At the 46:25 mark, Wardynski talks about how generals are promoted. This is why President Trump is probably wise to look outside the pipeline of officers that would have been assumed to be qualified for CJCS.

Milley was Trumps guy. Trump passed over Gen Goldfein for Milley, which was a huge mistake. Goldfein was a great leader who would've been a much more strategic and apolitical CJCS. Water under the bridge now, though.

Trump was very naive his first term.

I think the last 8 years have made him understand a lot more about how the bureaucracy works...

A good definition of bureaucracy is either dazzle them with brilliance or baffle them with BS. It is usually the latter.

But we have learned that there was alot of mole style activity in 45 term of giving bad advice. Seems to be a case of that. Wray was another.

not going to cry about a 4 star

who will parachute into a Board position with Boeing or Raytheon and double dip with his USAF pension and private sector millions.
