Angry Vets Are Now Calling Gen. John Kelly A Blue Falcon

Posted with permission from Crooks and Liars
Here's what Blue Falcon means.

For non vets “Blue Falcon” is a term that stands for buddy fucker or a selfish or bad person. #KellyBlueFalcon is a hashtag. Good! He is!

Here is where you can read some of the tweets.

Just a few short months ago, Kelly's reputation was sterling. Being around the orange mistake, his reputation has been shredded. What keeps these people around him? tRump's breathing is sounding as though he is back on coke. Maybe he shares with the others in the WH? Just like he gets two scoops of ice cream, to everyone else's one scoop maybe his share of the coke is twice as much?

Trump tried to revert the change of Denali back to Mt. McKinley for Christ's sake. Thankfully Alaska Senators begged him to leave it out of respect.

the responses from vets.
I wonder how much of that is reflective of the true feelings of those honorable people who have served. I can only hope it is a majority.
We need to have those that were "marginal" or indifferent involved in the 2018 elections - that can stop the madness that is happening.

RESIST!!!!!

Can't fathom the media and the public thinking that anybody wearing some stars on their shoulder is automatically a stand-up guy? Many of our senior (flag officers) military leaders are careerists, racists, and murderous freaks. Few have the balls to call out the bullshit when they see it. Kelly wasn't tarnished by working with drumpf, he was selected precisely because of the ass-kissing knee bending worm he's always been.

Now, there's murmurs of privatizing our forces. Every single GOPer that stands silent as to what's playing out in DC needs to be shot.

his dignity and reputation. He got up there and LIED about Rep Wilson and even when presenting with evidence he lied, he remains quiet. Everything donnie touches gets covered in his stink.

getting into when you let frump have the white house. You could have exposed him if you hadn't taken the same filthy russian oligarch money for your campaigns.

And you STILL want our elections to be about money because you believe you can buy power.

Not working out so well for you now, is it??

Kelly said he was 'stunned' (and 'we were stunned') while listening to Congress-lady Wilson speak in 2015, about taking credit for funding whatever it was.
Is Kelly still stunned now that his premise has been shown to be a lying smear?
Can Kelly provide others so as to verify his 'we', as in 'we were stunned'?

What was kelly stunned about? now that it's shown to be a lie? Her hat maybe? hahahaha. at least it didn't have MAGA on it!
Kelly likes trump's hats I bet.

And I tell you brass monkey kelly, that an empty barrel is better than one full of sh** like you.

I think Kelly has a vendetta for wilson, since kelly gave the advice that 'they know what they're getting into when they join' or words to that effect. That is in good part what wilson criticized trump for, and kelly takes her criticism as directed towards him for giving the advice to t-RUMP.

That program started under Pressure Obama. And I'm not sure why some Senators acted like they had NO idea they were there. I remember when the Africa program expanded because of Boko Haram and others. Its been ongoing a few yrs.

The last part of the tweet, spot on.
