Obama and Biden are fools. They attack our military leaders; frankly because, neither of them know what they are doing in the White House! We have only ourselves to blame regarding the mess in Afghanistan and Iraq. Like it or not, you can't vote a man into the Presidency and make him Commander and Chief of all the Military; when he has never served One (1) day and has no concept of military strategy. It's not up to others (including Biden) to call the military shots and make decisions Obama doesn't know how to.

Frankly, coming from a military family; our President isn't well thought of. Why? Because he uses every opportunity to "throw the military under the bus" when backed into a corner. President Obama isn't respected because he doesn't give respect. Plain and simple.

General McChrystal is a Senior Military Advisor. As such, he has the right to question any Presidential opinion or decision that places American Soil; American Lives; or Military Personnel in direct "Harms Way." What we have here is a simple case of President Obama not wanting his questionable decision making practices open to scrutiny. Nor does President Obama want any qualified military leaders around who can stand up to him and call President Obama out on his actions or inactions. Just because President Obama is Commander and Chief of the Military, doesn't place his actions above the Law! Last time I checked that definition is was a Dictatorship not a Democracy!

President Obama is an opportunist. He is more interested in "making points" with the U.N. and foreign leaders than doing the job he was elected to do. All this President and his administration want is: more control over the population; less personal freedoms; more U.N. involvement, even on American soil; and "Passing the Buck" (Usually, Military, Republicans, Tea-Party, Special Interest Groups protecting Constitutional Rights, etc) when called out on President Obama's shortcomings, excessive spending, and Dictatorial attitude and Administration policy.

You people had better wake up soon. Everything President Obama and his administration is working toward tends to be more government control; less personal freedoms; more U.N. control (even on U.S. soil); and military under U.N. control. This President has already demostrated his contempt for the Constitution, when it suits him. At this rate, we won't have a democratic country by 2012. Perhaps it's time to consider firing President Obama! Anyone for impeachment on the grounds of incompetence!

Actually Therese I suggest you begin by reading the Constitution. President Obama is fulfilling his role as Commander-in-Chief. Our Constitution puts a civilian in control of our military.

Let me you guess. You are a Tea Party member who is clueless and have no idea what you are talking about.

"Like it or not, you can't vote a man into the Presidency and make him Commander and Chief of all the Military; when he has never served One (1) day and has no concept of military strategy. "

Ok, so now you have fully described george bush, can you honestly defend your vote for him since he so completely fits the description above? Sorry, being out of pocket or running (actually funning) a congressional campaign while in the national guard does not count.

If it was not important in 2000, it is not important now. And we have a reason to be in Afghanista, never had a good reason to go to Iraq.

"Anyone for impeachment on the grounds of incompetence!" Lord have mercy child, we had more than ample grounds to use that against georgie and I always wondered why we did not, add stupid to that mix and we had more than enough reason to.

Like it or not, you can't vote a man into the Presidency and make him Commander and Chief of all the Military; when he has never served One (1) day and has no concept of military strategy.

The Constitution never made military service a requirement for seving as President. Get over yourself and get over it.

General McChrystal is a Senior Military Advisor. As such, he has the right to question any Presidential opinion or decision that places American Soil; American Lives; or Military Personnel in direct "Harms Way." What we have here is a simple case of President Obama not wanting his questionable decision making practices open to scrutiny. Nor does President Obama want any qualified military leaders around who can stand up to him and call President Obama out on his actions or inactions.

General McChrystal has the right to disagree. Rolling Stone is not the forum for doing so so you are wrong, however, when you state that what we have is a simple case of President Obama not wanting anyone around who questions his judgement or his decisions.

If your boss found an e-mail that you sent that was deemed to be inappropriate criticism of your boss would you be allowed to keep your job?

Therese: It is rather grandiose to suggest that you speak for all military families. It is equally delusional for you to believe that you know better than the President and his staff. or this country in ANY way should be in the charge of military people only. If you do not know the history or traditions of this country better than that, you should not be voting. I would suggest that you go to your local community college and take a Civics class so that you may understand your duties as a citizen, and the Constitution and how it applies to this issue.

Union Baby, Tennessee, excellent point and you nailed the target. Bush dismissed several generals for not towing the line to his thinking. Hell even Gen Shinseki was skewered over his remarks that we would need several hundred thousand troops for Iraq and in the end the 4 star general was right about the numbers needed in Iraq. As for Gen McC. he knows that he crossed the line as a commissioned officer, he knows that he could be courts-martialed for this under the UCMJ for conduct unbecoming of an officer, he knows that his career is toast if the President wants it to be.

Oh, my gosh. Then Ronald Reagan was an illegitimate president. I was right all along.

Regardless of the fact of whether our President has military training or not, he is still the Commander-in-Chief of all military forces. And "all" and I mean "all" military personnel are under his command whether they like it or not. From the highest General to the lowest private. The General was out of line in being critical of our President and our Vice President and their Staff and he should resign. No Military Officer should criticize their superiors out in the open, that in my book is called insubordination and are grounds for immediate removal from his post and removal from the military. In essence, he should be fired and he should be removed from the military immediately. What kind of example will he be to his men now--that it is OK to insult the President out in the open. It is bad enough that the Republicans do it in the Chambers of the House of Representative. So, now a General will renew an old trend of being insubordinate to the President, like MacArthur did with President Truman. What next? What is the world coming too? What ever happened to respect of authority? It looks like there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. So, in essence, this General has to be shown who is the chief and be shown the door.

Terese may be from a military family, but obviously knows little about the military. Clinton never served a day in the miltiary. G. W. Bush only serve in the Reserves and skated out of most of the training. Article 34 of the UCMJ makes it a Court Martial offense for officers to disrespect the CIC (POTUS). McCrystal is a West Point who knows how to conduct himself. I never taught at West Point, but I taught at the AF Academy and every student has heard the MacArthur story hundreds of time. They probably wrote papers on the topic. It's not about McCrystal or President Obama. It about the POTUS as CIC!

Theresa,

You say you come from a military family. Do you have any personal service? You do not speak for me or my family. My grandfather came to this country at age 11 and fought for the US in WWI, My father was a gunner's mate in the Navy and saw action in the Pacific during WWII, both my uncles also served overseas in WWII, both Army, I was in the Navy (DAV)during the Viet Nam conflict and my daughter is a Naval Officer currently on assignment in San Diego Naval Hospital. Four generations in this country and every generation has had a family member fighting for our country. You have no right to even remotely speak for me or my family.

Like it or not, you can't vote a man into the Presidency and make him Commander and Chief of all the Military; when he has never served One (1) day and has no concept of military strategy.

The Constitution never made military service a requirement for seving as President. Get over yourself and get over it.

The word I'd like to describe the statement from Da Noid would get me tossed off Newsvine. For you others who are trying to capitalize on what Therese in NV was saying - get a grip. Idiotic comments always flow when someone is trying to make a salient point. Especially from the left.

Therese's point was - you can't expect Obama to even have the slightest understanding of how the military thinks, operates or functions because he doesn't have one iota of experience with it. Of course the Constitution places a civilian over the military - although I would bet money most liberals don't know why. Thats a topic for another discussion but not now.

When Obama makes bad decisions based on his agenda or ideology, it is harmful to our country. The senior military commanders either roll their eyes, or laugh when he does this. Worst case scenerio they shudder because they know what it means to the troops under their command and how badly these decisions place their troops in harms way. Meranda rights given to enemy combatants is one of the Obama decisions that makes zero sense. The ask questions first, load your weapon, ask more questions, ask permission to fire, accept enemy incoming fire, procedure will end up killing more of our troops in combat zones. There's nothing like tying the hands of our soldiers in the field when faced with life or death decisions. Would you consider this one of Obama's "change you can believe in" ideas as a good one?

No wonder Obama has been publicly ridiculed. A stone serious commander like McCrystal probably had no other recourse. I applaud the man.

To all the military members active & retired that took the time to respond the tea baggin Teresa!

Thank you & thank you for your service! :0)

Feisty and many others,

Much thanks. I think it is safe to say that we all felt this was our duty. Not only to our great nation, but to our families, friends and "yes" even to those who disagree. There is not one of us who would hesistate to throw ourselves in front of an enemy bullet to protect this country and ALL of its people. This is who we are. The love of our country is unconditional.

There is nothing presidential about Obama. He should be relieved of duty!!!!!

Regardless of how one feels about Obama, McChrystal was way out of line, and he knows it. That makes me wonder why he did it? Maybe he WANTS out of Afghanistan....

To all the military members active & retired that agree with the FUDGE PACKING Feisty Redhead:

Thank you for your service. (Now, wasn't that a most helpful and mature post? Calling a stranger a nasty, mean name simply because they don't toe your line? Go, Red, go! Get 'packing' girl!)

Why can't folks just disagree without getting so unbelievably NASTY with one another? Don't assume that you know someone's party affiliation/political beliefs just because they don't mirror yours down to the last jot and tittle.

Airborne Bob - my sentiments exactly! The left would disagree with you. They actually think a hesitant, mamby pamby, no experience, narcisist is good for our country. They like the idea that Obama throws this country under the bus when facing other heads of state - especially socialist dictators. There can be no other explanation for the overwelming support the left gives this socialist president.

People want to pin this on Obama and say that he should leave the military alone because he has no military experience. Nonsense!

1) Obama did not put any of these words into McChrystal's mouth or the mouths of his bizarre group of "aides." McChrystal and his people knew full well that they were talking to a reporter on the record and what they were saying. They also knew what they were doing when they gave the reporter full access to the troops in Afghanistan for 3 weeks.

2) Most of McChrystal's criticism was directed at the diplomatic corps. This is often the case because diplomats tend to see military conflict as a failure of diplomacy and the military often sees diplomatic efforts as a waste of time. This is more of a traditional rivalry.

3) Look at the alternatives and past: Bush Jr. - deserter, Cheney - felony draft dodger, McCain - turncoat and traitor who betrayed his fellow prisoners and airmen. I am not sure that military service itself is relevant. The military is a cocked gun. Its greatest value lies in being the "big stick" that backs up diplomacy. Once the cocked gun is fired, it loses much of its value.

4) McChrystal's value is that he literally wrote the book on counterinsurgency. But his brilliance as a military analyst does not mean that he was the best choice to implement it. On this I fault Obama in that he looked more at the man's brilliance in analyzing counterinsurgency than his track record as a loose canon who had been in and out of trouble (mostly because of his mouth) since West Point.

5) McCrystal's comments basically showed his isolation from the diplomatic corps as well as the President, Vice President, National Security Council, Secretary of Defense, and military Chief. By the time a person get's to McCrystal's rank there is absolutely no room for someone with so little self-discipline that that he cannot control his mouth.

6) Here is the oath that McCrystal took: "I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." He broke that oath.

7) McCrystal should have been stood down to a desk job after the Tillman affair. Disciplinary action against him was the recommendation of the Army investigating panel for his part in the attempted coverup (which was almost successful.) He let others take the rap for his involvement.

8) Due to the general timeline, this is the only opportunity that ISAF will have to conduct a summer offensive before NATO pulls out completely and the surge expires. Unfortunately, the offensive has stalled down in Marja and unless this situation is fixed within days, the offensive will fizzle out completely. If the offensive fizzles, the war is effectively over.

9) The only person who seems to be strongly supporting McCrystal is Karzai. Karzi wants to negotiate to bring the Taliban into the government. McCrystal has been Karzai's staunch supporter and regularly has gone after Eikenberger and Holbrook when they have expressed disdain at Karzai's corruption and lack of support for the offensive.

10) I honestly think that the "McCrystal strategy" is the best option available right now. But I do not think that McCrystal was ever the best choice to implement that strategy.

11) Much of the Rolling Stone article was about McCrystal losing the support of the frontline officers and men. This shows itself most dramatically with the interviews that disagree with McCrystal's Rules of Engagement (which were not Obama's rules.)

I was a military intelligence analyst for ten years. I strongly disagreed with out policies in Vietnam, but I served there, was wounded, and lost a lot of buddies. I got to watch pilots coming home from bombing in Laos while Nixon was going on the news to deny that we were bombing in Laos. I saw babies who had been killed by friendly fire and was instructed to report them as NVA Mainforce Soldiers along with other women and children. These reasoning was that we had killed most of the baby's relatives, he would have joined the VC and should, therefore, be counted as an insurgent.

But I did what my oath required me to do. And at various times I gave parts of intelligence briefings to JFK, Johnson, and Nixon in person. But because my government lied and lied about Vietnam, when my hitch was up, I walked away from a military in which I thought I would be making a career. That is what a military man does. He does not pick and choose what orders to follow. He does his job and keeps his mouth shut and, if he does not like it, he does not re-up.

Therese in NV Before you give your opinion about President Obama and Vice President Biden, please give us your qualifications and accomplishments. This will eliminate the possibility of others saying "consider the source." You could be a biased, racist, far right winged idiot trying to share your stupidity with others. It is also possible that you are mentally impaired. By the way, your comment does give that impression.

To Therese in NV: I couldn't agree with you less. There are many U.S. citizens who don't come from "military families" who stand to serve their country everyday. Service and loyalty to one's country are not measured by one's experience in the military necessarily. I come from a stalwart Republican family, and yet I stand to support President Obama in his use of his best discretion and restraint so that no one is in harm's way - our soldiers abroad or any civilian who is innocent of involvement (often women, children and elderly.) The U.S Military has its own culture that is not largely shared by the general population. We can support our military and yet call for the utmost discipline in the use of their resources as a country that is attempting to help create stability and peace in Iraq and Afghanistan. These are efforts that are not meant to help us win a popularity contest at the UN, these are serious efforts to protect and support families and communities both at home and in the Middle East. This issue is not just about satisfying and engaging a point of view that adheres to a culture of command, but is superceded by engaging and creating a world that is safe for everyone. I don't confuse President Obama's restraint with incompetence. I respect his efforts to think before he asks anyone to pull a trigger. It seems to me that any soldier would feel the same.

Obama is one of the types of people who says he listens but really doesn't. He is a partial term Senator and unqualified President. Occording to Kenya he was born there. His aunt is illegal and still living in the US. He is fighting the rule of law on immigration,( i.e. Arizona) and is showing his true colors by saying this is not a Christian nation. Thats how it was founded. Freedom of not from religion. Ignoring National day aof Prayer when Muslims hold prayer on property adjoining the WH. The big O is stuck on himself and if you will look on the net you can find him and his wife (who I believe is restricted form practing a certain phase of las in Illinois) covering their heart on the wrong side and with the wrong hand, and who refused to acknowledge the National Anthem at one point. CORRECT: he knows absolutely nothing about the Military, neither does Joe Biden and let us not forget John Kerry, the protester who gave himself the nomination for the decoration in Nam. I'm with McChrystal.

Isn't it strange that rather than comment appropriately on the issue, so many use this to support a trojan? calling a poster "tea bagger" derogatorily and using this to support a group of outright criminals? Very disappointing.

The General knows he did wrong, knowingly and willfully.

The idiots who are using this forum incorrectly knowingly and willfully do wrong as well.

Keep to the issue, and learn from mistakes-otherwise we're doomed to repeat them.

get rid of the Manchurian.

If you want to win your war hand it to the marines! It has been the doctrine to let the marines clear the path then the army occupies but as of recently the army has been slipping just look at fallujah one of the many places in Iraq. Marines cleared and secured the city, army took it over lost it within a year and called the marines again. The marines retook the city and occupied it for the rest of the campaighn. Terrorists even started avoiding marines and engaging the army. Give the reighns to the marines and let them handle it.

To 30 year vet: There is just no conspiracy theory that Fox News pushes that you will not believe is there? Are you at all embarrassed to know that everything you wrote is incorrect, or do you like being willfully ignorant?

Mc Chrystal isn't any less competent of leading then any other General. He made a big mistake but it didn't get anyone killed it just made the President look like little miss daisy in a Sunday school dress.

I'd stand behind this man because at least he has enough balls to speak his mind. We all know what the press can do with something they hear or something we tell them, they spin there own twist to the real truth and pump it up a little bit to sell magazines and newspapers or have you been so blind that your brain has ceased to function.

This story made some poor smuck a nice tidy nest egg at the generals expense.

Jason, I'll ask the same question to you.

Disagreeing with your boss is one thing, but if your boss found an e-mail that you wrote that he felt was inappropriately critical not of a specific decision but about his character in general, would you be allowed to keep your job?

Whether you would be allowed to stay or not would depend on how much you add to the bottom line of the company. If you're a producer of revenue, accomodations would be made. If not, and if you're easily replaced you'd be gone.

If my boss read my e-mail instead of ignoring me-lol

And if he wasn't walking outside later where his authority Ended............he may feel differently at that point.

like people posting where they never have to face the point of thier issue.

Whackadoodle Troll Tripe. It never ceases to amaze at the amount of entitled arrogance from the Republithug Right. Gather up your contrived talking points for this afternoon to enlighten us on how the President has let us down, yet again.

I tolerantly wait for you to show the arrogant ignorance.

Heck fella, you lost, get over it! Where is all that patriotism now? Oh, I get it, you only love our country when your folks are in control, right? well, I gotta tell you, I love my country regardless of who the president is or who holds court in congress, i loved my country though 8 years of a drunk/coke head being in charge, and a repugnant congress that was so out of control and touch they spent every cent they could get their hands on on a war with a country who did absolutely nothing to me, such a shame you can't love yours even if you don't care for someone who is actually smart enough to have the job. Some of us happen to like an intelligent president, of course some of us settle for the idiot behavior of the bushes and regans. Careful fella, you might spill your tea!

People like this are frightening. How do you sleep at night? Csense, develop some common sense before you post.

C. Sense101----zero common sense as the President is a natural born citizen. Dunce would be the word for you or maybe just maybe you fall under the category of a charlie foxtrot.

Hi Terry, good to see ya again. Maybe we can all take a collection and put this ingrate on a plane and send them to another country. I am sick and tired of the tea baggers and repugs trashing this country. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE GET THE HELL OUT!!!

Its great to pile on csense as he has demonstrated that he has no csense. Please read the Constitution and maybe the bio of our current president. If you and your ilk would rather see the military make all the decisions in this country as Gen. MclChyrstal has intimated then maybe you want to move to South America and let a Junta control your destiny

C. sense101 Please understand that those of us who refuse to base our comments on biased beliefs or our commitment to the right wing party realize that you are full of sh_t. I really hope that C.sense doesn't suggest that you think you have common sense. Not.

as you can see there are still in the u.s that make it about color get over it man times have changed a left you behind it people like you that cause the problems of the world

have to wonder if any of you blind supporters claiming to be Veterans actually Are combat vets or just claimers.

Bad mouthing people who don't agree with blind support isn't an intelligent decision-it's as Biased as you can get.

Do you find it interesting that Gates and Petraeus always seem to be at the center of these things?

NEWSFLASH: no matter who replaces McChrystal, in all probability, he or she will not respect Obama's leadership either. The POTUS is a great orator. He can make great speaches. He steps up to the plate to deal with difficult issues such as the current gulf problem, health care, and Wall Street. I don't agree with him on everything. I give him props for trying to deal with the problems instead of ignoring the problems. But, when it comes to being the Commander-In-Chief, sorry Mr. Obama, your grade would be D-. Very few in the military have any regard for this man. So replace McChrystal all day long if you want. If anyone is asked their opinion, the same response will be made.

Gingerbread,

Let wait and see. I think the meeting starts in about 1 hour. Maybe he had to go to a quiet place to write his apology or resignation.

Whatever happens, President Obama is going to get hammered again. He just cannot win. He was left with a state of affairs that no matter what he does to try and fix them he going to get hammered. Too much, Too little, Too fast, not fast enough.

You forgot... he walks on water but WHY can't he swim... lol

Time to load up on the Troll repellent!

Hi Feisty, good to hear from you again. Yep, you got it.

Good Morning Retired, Fiesty, The media is going nuts trying to read the signs. It would make sense for him to leave as the meeting is not for a while, I am certain the atmosphere was a might chilly and the hospitality mat was not out for him to stay for coffee.lol

Morning Retired... we better start stock-piling the stuff! Cause no matter how this turns out the trolls will be AGAINST it! lol

Feisty ~ Which troll repellent do you recommend?

Anna Molly - Repubican't Repellent - I've found the industrial strength works best!

If you order now.. they'll throw in a trial size at absolutely NO cost to you! lol

Hopefull they mix yours with sulfuric acid so you'll dissolve like witches in bathwater-LOL. Nothing like trash talking blind supporters.

You have, obviously, not been reading the posts.

Thus far, I have not seen one person on the right post in favor of the general; in fact, I and most of the others have consistently stated that, having violated the UMCJ, he must resign, or be terminated.

See, I have ONE code of conduct, that goes for people of either party. It is no secret that I think Obama is an abysmal president; that said, as the commander in chief, he cannot have, under his command, a general so cavalier in his remarks to the press as to set off this firestorm.

Where you are confused is that those on the left would be cheering such behavior if the president were a republican. That is your problem, not mine.

You're right, no joe, which is why the right will have a hard time making a martyr out of McChrystal. Or, wait ... when did their own previous words stop them?

I believe there was an example of a general making comments to the first President Bush that led to his retirement. General Swartzkopf in the visit to Iraq, Desert Storm. In a press conference made the statement that not continuing the mission and going all the way through Baghdad was a mistake. He took a very public lashing and not long after retired. Hmmmmm, seems he might have been on to something. Perhaps we should pull him out of retirement.

he also left a unit in the path of the retreating republican guards in the vain hope it would be a massacre, inviting us to go after the offenders, and getting us into Iraq. Fortunately a marine unit wtihdrew the army support unit without orders and saved about 78 troops. We know stormin normin did it, but because we got out, it wasn't publicized.

Nick,

I think he has the mettle to handle it also. One of the problems though is the pundits are going to twist it to fit the talking points of Rush and Glenn and the Republicans. I hope when this does happen he goes after them and exposes the lies that will come, the misrepresntations that will come etc. As long as we keep discussing the facts and issues in a civil manner, people will listen.

We need to keep thier feet to the fire.

Nick-still tooting the clean up GWB's mess horn? Stop already.

Hey, Ron ~ maybe BP stopped the oil leak and it turned into a slow news day.

it's still suspicious that 2 rigs blew up so closely together, Right After the ok was Very Reluctantly Given to drill.

MacArthur didn't exactly go quietly, and I have a feeling McChrystal may not, either. For mostly the same reasons.

Well said ... unfortunate for the troops in his command have to endure this distraction.

The First Lady NEVER said that she was never proud to be an American. That's an outright, verifiable, lie.

Rev. Wright pi$$d alot of people off, so saying no one cared is asinine. Most people simply refused to get into a guilt by association situation. Except people of your ilk of course!

The General has a code of conduct to follow. He broke it. Regardless of what you think, he broke his code of conduct.

Whether or not he should be fired; that truly is "above my paygrade"

Greg,

You are a Lying fool. The First Lady never said that. Go crawl back under your rock.

'

Greg:My goodness; you have certainly been ruminating over things that did not happen the way you want believe. Please turn off Fox News and read an edifying book.

Ted, Mid Michigan

The First Lady NEVER said that she was never proud to be an American. That's an outright, verifiable, lie.

Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the campaign, would-be First Lady Michelle Obama said, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

Same day, Michelle Obama on the campaign trail in Madison Wisconsin: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

Sure sounds like Michelle wasn't too proud of her country until her husband started winning primaries.

The General has a code of conduct to follow. He broke it. Regardless of what you think, he broke his code of conduct.

Please explain what part of the code of conduct did he break Ted? And no hand waving on this one Ted. We want details.

You're the liar Ted.

I submit that the greater good in this case is that by example McCrystal has shown his men that it is okay to criticize and make fun of the administration, the President, the Vice President, et al. and that sends a message to all under his command that his behavior is acceptable. HE SHOULD BE FIRED! Generals are not irreplaceable. The rest of us are fungible, so are they. I am sure there are many who could hold that position. It is time as a country for us to stand up to the disrespect shown to our country, our President, and to the despicable behavior of the tea-baggin' right, the Republican congressional leaders (who even state that they are incompetent - if they are so damn incompetent why are they trying to retain their seats or be a part of the government that they so abhor). It's time for some common sense to enter our discussions, instead of name calling and hatred. They even do it against their own, calling Nikki Haley a "raghead", as well as the President. What a bunch of jerks, McCrystal included. You can't have all chiefs and no cooks and the military industrial complex needs to be put back into their place. They really believe they run the country, as do the arrogant disrespectful lying Republicans who were summarily voted out and with any common sense will be voted down again.

Generals are responsible to the CIC. That would be the President.
