Hopefully his sentiments go right on down the line with lesser ranked naval staff.

Just read his letter to Trump. He concludes:

The criticism will continue until you become the leader we prayed you would be.

Impossible. Trump lacks the maturity, intelligence and experience to become such a leader. He is a self-absorbed, ignorant, mean-spirited child.

The criticism will continue until he’s out.

Senior folks in uniform have a long, long personal history of putting their head down and trying to ignore whether or not they agree with the guy in charge. Their patience (and capacity for hope) are extreme. But they do have limits.

Keep shitting on the brass. That’s a brilliant idea.

The rubber finally meets the road. People stand up to be counted among those proud to resist. Hopefully, this has legs.

“A retired Navy admiral spoke out against President Trump Thursday over Trump’s move to strip former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.”

Just jealousy of Trump’s heroic military service to our country in his courageous battles against bone spurs.

Wounded five times!

What is there for any US military member not to like about a POTUS that salutes a NK General and who bragged that avoiding getting an STD during the Viet-Nam war was his claim to fame?

Military brass cannot hide from the 8 million pound orange gorilla that’s throwing luggage and feces all over this country. They must stand up and denounce this lunatic. This goes for active as well as retired brass. Next.

So is it just me- or does there seem to be a pattern of people close to Trump doing things to ensure they can set the record straight later on?

it’s almost like they need insurance against a guy they know to be a pathological liar.

Revoked security clearances could be today’s burnt draft cards. An affront at the obstinate administration in power.

It’s likely that †Я☭mp’s Enemies List will become a special Mark of Distinction that many in the post-†Я☭mp era will rue NOT having•. I have already applied to be on the List (yeah, résumé-polishing) by insulting †Я☭mp in the NYT Letters to the Editors.
