Just piling on and crushing him.

The way he talked about Generals is inexcusable. That stuff doesn't fly in the military. They respect their officers and they all know what it takes to get that far.

He wants to get rid of all the top generals and bring in loyal people that he likes, build up our capabilities, and then use them to take other countries resources.

Yep... he's a dictator.

Saying a General pledges to the Constitution not the President and he's offended

So far Rachel's show is rated at a D. Very poor to get just a couple of soft ball military speakers. Anderson Cooper's program is GOOD! His people are knowledgeable.

CNN is ripping Trump a new one in regards to Trump's idiotic statement that the Generals we have now are rotten and he will get a bunch of new ones. The commentator just said that Trump must be thinking wars are not like WWII & anyone who thinks we are still waging wars like WWII is ignorant. The military experts on CNN think Trump is a moron.

Then he went on to say that we spent billions and lost thousands of lives and got nothing. We should have taken the oil.

Horrifying.
