I just got home from a Marine Corps League meeting................

I DVR'd the debate & will watch it in a few minutes. With that said, I did see Trump being interviewed by Matt Lauer. I think I just heard Trump say that the Generals he asks the question of what to do to rid the world of ISIS, are not the Generals that are currently the ones in leadership roles.

Basically I heard him say that the current leaders will be "fired"

Yes, he just wants "yes" men and women.

Generals come and go, they retire as do many of us. I didn't 'hear' a firing suggestion.

IMHO, he definitely implied that it would be a "different group" of generals making his plans and presenting them.

In fact, the average general will be around longer than the president.
