‘Civil Military Relations Are As Bad Today As They’ve Ever Been’: Fmr. Army Major General | MSNBC
Hope all those vets vote Biden!
@Startrek1965 yes Trump is scary, I just witnessed 3 1/2 years of ineptness and corruption from this administration
David Duchesne 👍
This Disabled Vet is going to if I have to use a frigging WHEELCHAIR to get there!
@SoCal Surfer16 YOU AHOLE—ALL THAT WATER HAS SOAKED UR LIMITED BRAIN.
@Rico Castañon WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? DONT U SEE WHERE THAT HAS GOTTEN US—STRAIGHT TO THE GUTTER!!!!!!HES AN EVIL LYING POS. AND U ARE TOO FOR STANDING UP FOR HIM.
Resign trumpet and take your family with you!
And when you wake up from your dream you will have to change the sheets.
Akadie Liskowich The Trump family values are the most important part of this world is that they are not going to give up their lives to be the same person who will never unblock you until you have them to come give you money
yeah lets get biden to get these wars going again.
Go back to Russia
Pence can’t pardon him for 200,000 MURDERS charged at the state level. Or Himself for being a willing ACCOMPLICE to those MURDERS
This POS didn’t give these innocent American victims a ‘Choice’ He held information just to make sure it wouldn’t effect the stock market and his billionaires!!!
Yeah because we know the stock market doesn’t affect regular Americans. It’s only billionaires in the stock market. Dude the stock market affects all of us who have pensions and retirements. Seriously???
I think the losers are everyone who believes this BS CNN is selling to you. Do you know that more people watch the cartoon Network than CNN because everyone has realized they give us nothing but lies. 2 anonymous sources said Trump defamed the military 25 on the record sources said what these two people said is a lie. If you still believe those two anonymous sources it’s only because you want to believe a lie. What is matter with you people
MrpastorC
Nobody’s selling us anything that we can hear it with our own ears, maybe you should pull trumps unit out of yours, you might be able to hear
A separation of civil and military rank is useless; create the world you want, General, and diversify your own chain of command!
@Alvina Kawaihae what?????
I like presidents who don’t call our fallen Americans “losers” and “suckers.”
Randy Couch
Yeah I know and that’s scary, actually everybody has to watch Fox News so that they can comment on their absurdity a lot of their viewers are just people that use it as a reference source they don’t really take what Fox News says as reality
j t
Hey Conrad everybody knows that the Russian trolls are trying to interfere in the election I think that’s what you are, I think that’s what you’re doing, I think you’re a Russian troll
j t
Yeah your YouTube account isn’t even six months old you’re definitely a Russian troll hey Comrade how’s the borscht today?
@Startrek1965 I’m a vet. He never said that. Its democratic election year disinformation based on anonymous sources. Do your own homework before you believe anything these pathological liars put out. You are being inundated with blatant propaganda.
landfill victory yes I agree
I still cannot understand (maybe it’s a good thing?) how anyone can be so hateful towards the Military! I mean. It makes my mind explode. That is beyond despicable.
Niki T the kind who think more of foreign nasties like putin and Xi you know…Traitors like tromp
EASY when the Trump family history is avoiding military service in two countries over a 140 years period .
It’s the American military, you know, the one that’s waged endless war on much of the third world for over 70 years. The one that used nuclear weapons against civilians. The one that used chemical weapons in Vietnam and Cambodia.
The one that lied to start a war in Iraq. The one that bombed N Korea back to the stone age.
The list goes on but you begin to understand the resentment.
@Jim Battersbee Are you and AMERICAN ?Japan attacked us and murdered a million people in Asia , TORTURED ALLIED POWs BURNED alive American pows . The Firebombing of Tokyo was 10 times worse than the Atomic bombs ,Agent orange was to clear the forest not a chemical weapon . Korea was never bombed into the stone age , General LEMAY said he could bomb North Vietnam into the Stone age . he was the General who oversaw the firebombing of Tokyo and the Atomic attacks , he was the first to use napalm in Germany , my USAF hero. if General Lemay was let loose on the communist in north Vietnam that war would have been over in one year ,, ,, you sack of trumps dung ,.
Don’t forget about the “Patriots Confederate treasonous” Trump followers.
@Oakley Moodie you forgot about the 25 million illegal immigrants that are by and large conservatives!
@MrpastorC OK. Thanks for agreeing.
@MrpastorC The greatest enemy we face is the fear in our own head, the second greatest enemy is the lack of a father to help us overcome the first one.”
Choosing Trump as your father figure was your 1st mistake.
Hillary now there’s a story that is so outrageous running around free today in this country with no arrest on it at all, oh well they’re Democrats handcuffs don’t fit criminal like that.
@Mairice Wilson amen sister just like the Mueller team unanimously wiped their phones so the investigators couldn’t get the messages they were hiding!!
*are the First Responders at 9 /11 who died . . . are they ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’ too . . . POTUS ?*
@Lana Kahl he didn’t LMAO!
Agree, Trumpet and his Stripper Wife are HYPOCRITES.
He was delighted at 9/11, it meant he could make the silly claim the Trvmp Tower was the tallest building in New York.
never said that 15 people who were there dispute that claim of unverified source , put your name on it otherwise shut up
Don’t forget, he was there “helping” in the days after at ground zero, too.
Maj. General Paul Eaton, Warrior of Light. Thank you Sir for your Impeccable word and example during your Lifetime Military Career to defend The United States Constitution, People and our Values of Respect and love for humanity. Enrique Lopez, US Army Infantry Sergeant Retired OIF 1 ARCOM “V”.
“We’re getting along with the Taliban.” LOL.
Hahaha.
He’s getting along with Putin
Why not? He “fell in love” with Kim Jong Un, and he WORSHIPS Vladimir Putin. Enough, in fact, to brag about classified information.
Maybe trump is sending love letters to the Taliban also
Trump is like plutonium/Agent Orange for the United States
@loony loony – biden is Agent 86.
@Ron Swanson and pigs can fly.
@lulu in hollywood – thx for letting me know that you think I’m right
@loony loony- the Russians will treat Biden the and way they treated Obama. What an embarrassment
@Ron Swanson whatever that means. Another vague, nondescript statement, keep the deep and meaningful stuff coming lol. Got anymore gems like that?
Love the voteVet ads! How 40 percent of Americans support this loser is mind boggling.
@Startrek1965 As much as I despise Trump, I have to say your comment is inappropriate. African Americans and Hispanics (and of course the elderly and people with compromised immune systems) have been disproportionately affected by the virus. I doubt they were majority orange buffoon supporters. The bleach drinkers, on the other hand…
@Mainely I think u hit the nail on the head.
Tell that truth
Unbelievable right?
235 Former Military Leaders penned letter supporting Trump. https://www.newsweek.com/over-200-retired-senior-military-leaders-endorse-donald-trump-criticize-bidens-record-1531765
“We don’t negotiate with terrorists.” George W. Bush
“We’re getting along very well with the Taliban. And that’s a good thing.” Donald J. Trump
Said by both as presidents of the US.
@Ron Sandlin – Any time.
He even invited them to camp david last year
@EcClair Mayo – That’s our Donnie. However, I enjoyed more the way they punked Bush by sending fake Taliban leaders to fake peace talks in Afghanistan. That was a little known thing.
@Ron Sandlin trump does NOT understand nice
@Debra Lambert
So TRUE that it’s an understatement ! 🤣🤣👍
I like presidents who don’t destroy America
ME TOO!! Pelosi is correct for calling this virus The Trump Virus. He knew about it weeks before admitting that it was dangerous. You can even say he knew about it MONTHS before admitting it was deadly. And here we sit with going on a quarter of a million Americans dead.
@RedondoBeach2 and what war were you in 1234 which one?
@Mairice Wilson I’m not the one asking to be Commander In Chief. Have you served, Mairice? Don’t ask questions you aren’t willing to first answer yourself. If you did serve, what branch of service? What years? What organizations? What was your MOS? What campaigns were you involved in? You opened that door so go ahead and walk through it first.
US Army 13 a 10, 91 B20 artillery and medic Germany, 1968 1970. Cold war with 8-inch self propelled Howitzer that were capable of firing nuclear artillery shells 2 stop if there were a Russian invasion. Volunteer
@Mairice Wilson I’ll give the benefit of the doubt. I appreciate your service. The same sentiment does not go to “bone spurs” Don.
This Proud Army Veteran Despises Evil, Failed, Un Patriotic, Impeached Trump!
You are a liar and a racist. Think before you comment such ignorance.
Haters gonna hate 🇺🇸🇺🇸 2020 Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump doesn’t understand how taxpayers feel. He’s never been one
trump also dosen’t know how it feels to surve for his country, or get wounded, he never have to…
EXCELLENT
@Ruby Clark U LIVE IT EVERY DAY OR WHAT? LOL U LOVE THE ANSWER!
@stefanie bender SURVE???????OMG CANT U DO BETTER THAN THAT????I AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT BUT YOUR SPELLING IS ATROCIOUS.
@stefanie bender I wish he could have been awarded a purple heart too. POSTHUMOUSLY OF COURSE.
WHY IS OUR PRESIDENT DOING NOTHING TO HELP THE WILDFIRE DEVASTATION? AT LEAST ADDRESS THE SITUATION MR.PRESIDENT!!
we have leaf blower to get the job done
@Dale Hauk lol good one
Marlin holley , because trump is not the pesident for all americans , he only serves putin and his cult
The fires are mainly in
Democratic States. The PEOPLE or the LAND ARE NONE IF HIS CONCERNS..
@Joyce Chisman YOU ARE SO RIGHT
AMERICANS BETTER SAVE THEMSELVES,! VOTE AGENT ORANGE OUT!
#AmericanPeopleUnited
how could you still be for a man after him calling your son a loser
I think initially it was looking at the rest of the room and realising the next appointee was only going to make a bad situation worse.
The military may have to excort this failed president out of the White House.
I’ll vote for an ice cube outside during a hot summer in July before I vote Trump… 🤦🏽♂️
