We write to repudiate the deeply irresponsible position taken by John Nagl and Paul Yingling in these pages yesterday. Their call for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to be ready to issue orders to the American military for forcibly removing President Trump from office is as dangerous to our republic as the problem they purport to solve. Even contemplating it is damaging to the trust between the American people and those citizens who serve in our military. Their comments denigrate the Constitution, suggesting an unelected military officer should ever occupy the sole position as its judge, jury, and executioner.

ReplyDeletePromoting and publicizing this scurrilous Soros propaganda is just another means to further divide our Country.
Really.:(
DeleteRemember. There is nothing special or sacred about military service that makes them immune from the normal distribution. Most military officers and enlisted people reflect the society they come from, and lean liberal... just like the dept of education and national public radio.

DeleteNot in a million years would I have believed this growing up.
There are far too many Vindmans in the military services and likely at least as many civilian military "experts" serving in the Pentagon and elsewhere. Head em up and move em out.
ReplyDeleteHead em up and move em out.
DeleteAgreed but I don't see them doing this unfortunately.
Anonymous I disagree. When the standards were higher you definitely had a higher quality. I grew up as a Navy brat, while there were sub pars they were still a cut above in intelligence and know how. The standards have been watered down and the enforcing of Social Justice priorities has infected the Military. People like them would have been washed out much earlier in the process just 20 years ago. Now I just hope they are not the norm. The Gramcian march through the institutions continues.
ReplyDeletestandards were higher
DeleteThe federal service also. No FSEE is even required these days.:(

The Education system isn't the only one the communist left has infiltrated and subverted. The Officer Corp of ALL branches including the service academies is rife with leftist who joined for the EXPRESS purpose of working to subvert freedom and America from within. Every organization in America that has ANY ability to influence or control America and Americans has been targeted by the communist left for subversion...and they've been doing so for decades. They now believe they control enough people in enough important positions that they can now move to complete the coup and seize permanent control of the country. We are seeing a putsch...a 21'st century coup IN ACTION.
