I'd like to add Mattis and Kelly to the official list of cowards

[Stinky The Clown]

REAL military leaders will take up for their troops, even after retirement.

Wes Clark did it tonight on CNN. Weis troops are called suckers, losers always knew he was a LEADER.

The supposedly highly respected Mattis has been silent as his troops and those who came before him are called suckers, losers, and worse by the shitbird they worked for.

Fuck you, "sirs".

1. Mattis and Kelly are in a tight spot.

They can deny everything, claim Trump loves the troops. Nobody will believe this and they will be branded as butt kissing liars.

Or they can confirm the story, in which case the question becomes how the "heck" long were they willing to put up with this guy.

Either way, they look like cowards who put their careers ahead of their duty.

2. They are a disgrace. It seems like some people can't bring themselves to criticize Kelly to

the degree he deserves because his son died in uniform. Sorry, but that's hot garbage. Those two issues don't intersect at all.

Kelly behaved like a depraved moral monster during his time as Sec DHS and regularly acted without integrity or honor during his time as WH CoS. He's a POS.

Mattis cowardly hid behind a non-existent/misapplied precedent to avoid speaking honestly about Trump after he left being SecDef. He's a POS.

Betrayers of oath and country. And for what?

5. He can be criticized for being a racist piece of shit. It's easy to criticize people without

insulting their service or other things which shouldn't be criticized.

Lawrence O'Donnell did it regularly .

3. Don't forget McMasters

these three supposedly distinguished generals knew what Trump was before they signed on..a depraved narcissistic sociopath...but they agreed with Trumps's hatred for "the other"...blacks, hispanics, gays, muslims, jews, asians, Native Americans...Trump referred to them as "my generals" as though they were his personal toy soldiers...the "adults in the room" were nothing more than window dressing but once they disagreed with the orange idiot he took aim...they either resigned or were fired...from the onset Trump has denigrated the military...Mattis, Kelly, and McMaster said nothing when they were onboard...why would they say anything now?...
