‘Desert Storm’ general lambasts Trump’s ‘incredibly insulting’ remarks about current US military

[DonViejo]

Former U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey went all in on Saturday in expressing his belief that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s is completely unsuited and unprepared to take on the role of commander in chief.

McCaffrey said that a president needs to be “knowledgable, smart, cautious, aware that this giant U.S. military — 2.23 million men and women, active guard and reserve — have families. And that when we get 60,000 killed and wounded, which we have in the War on Terror, the commander in chief is responsible for their lives and safety. I think that’s what we want.”

Anchor Richard Lui played McCaffrey a clip of Trump from Thursday night’s Commander-in-Chief Forum in which the former reality TV star said that Pres. Barack Obama and Clinton left our military generals “reduced to rubble.” Trump also said that he would get “a different set of generals” to help make the country’s tactical and strategic decisions.

“So, General, have they been reduced to rubble?” Liu asked. “And what might he mean by ‘reduced to rubble?'”

“I think it’s an asinine statement,” McCaffrey responded. “These armed forces have been at war for 15 years.”

2. 15 more retired "generals" endorsed HRC after the forum.

Disclosure: Some are only admirals. Lol.

Major General (ret.) Peter Cooke, USAF - "Anytime anyone states says that generals are rubbish or an individual is not a hero because he or she was captured I find it appalling. I am a citizen soldier with 39 years of military experience. Donald Trump has a lack of knowledge on everything from force structure to NATO to our alliances and partnerships. I'm proud to support Secretary Clinton."

Major General (ret.) John Phillips, USAF - "Secretary Clinton has demonstrated the ability to conduct foreign affairs and achieve the objectives and goals of the United States. She has an incredible ability to engage with the international community and to build new partnerships and strengthen existing ones with our allies. I want a president with the ability to focus on the issues at hand that are the most important for the American people and that person is Hillary Clinton."

4. Under the right-wing deplorables bus with you General McCaffrey.

I am sure you are happy to no longer be one of these lunatics' heroes, however.
