The Landover Baptist Church Forum - The Apologizing Generals

It appears we have a menagerie of malingerers minding America today.

Quote:

The apology from General Mark Milley, the nation’s top military officer, comes after he and defense secretary Mark Esper received widespread criticism for participating in Trump’s photo op.

Quote:

Retired four-star general and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey wrote, "America is not a battleground. Our fellow citizens are not the enemy."

Quote:

"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us," Mattis said in a statement

Quote:

“The decision to use active military forces in crowd control in the United States should only be made as a last resort,” Mick Mulroy, a former deputy assistant defense secretary under Trump, told Politico. “Active Army and Marine Corps units are trained to fight our nation’s enemies, not their fellow Americans. American cities are not battlefields.”

Quote:

Retired Admiral William McRaven stated, "You're not going to use, whether it's the military, or the National Guard, or law enforcement, to clear peaceful American citizens for the president of the United States to do a photo op ... There is nothing morally right about that."

Quote:

One member of the defense science board, James Miller, actually resigned in protest of Esper’s participation in the photo op, which took place moments after the protesters were removed.

Quote:

Mike Mullen, a retired Navy admiral and a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, criticized Trump for having "risked further politicizing the men and women of our armed forces"

I only wonder what moralizing Meghan Markle might muse about the matter. I would suggest Mr. Trump hire someone without the letter M in their name next time. On current evidence, only he has the mettle to MAGA :dropmike:
