6. Something is deeply wrong when the military seems to accede to the CiC's shifty uses and PR about

what's going on ("All is well" ) rather than convey just the facts, as it usually has. After misstating the existence of injuries, why then would the military play down troop injuries.

Something is turning wrong about the military leadership. First the Pentagon. Then this vague "US-led military coalition fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria said." CNN confirms after Defense One produces the story.

What can be the benefit of possibly supporting the tweet spin, or even any political future of this president. How could this president possibly be an asset to the U.S. military.

Dems are so overworked right now, there can't be enough help from journalists. I hope other defense journalists can fill this out better, because something very wrong is trending in military's response to the way this president uses, but does not lead it.
