I really hate to burst your bubble on this, but the list is actually very short. What you DON''T SEE are the huge numbers of retired (and active duty) Flag and General Officers who support President Trump. I'm betting the ratio is at least 10:1. While I am saddened the number of said officers who are leftists, particularly since Clinton, the overwhelming portion of the Officer Corps has always been and is very conservative.

OP is a moron and has never served. All flag grade officers are political animals and they will reflect the politics of whichever president put forth their name for flag rank. My bet is every one of these retired officers got flag rank under Slick Willy and OBozo.

My bet is every one of these retired officers got flag rank under Slick Willy and OBozo. Flag officers give the orders right? When do subordinates stop following those orders? Sorry, the military will eventually be judged by the same standard others are. If you’re in it, you’re complicit. Are we there yet? I don’t know. But in just three and half years public opinion regarding the military has basically done a 180. A lot of people on this board haven’t caught up with that reality yet, but probably everyone O-6 and above needs to be purged. And everyone else gone over on a case by case basis. That won’t happen, so I don’t see much fixing it.

My bet is every one of these retired officers got flag rank under Slick Willy and OBozo. Gross generalizations tend to be well, gross. Of course "politics" permeates just about all aspects of professional life, military or civilian, but Presidents take no part in initial Flag/General Officer promotions, but yes some, (like Colin Powell for instance) are annointed. As to the last statement, lots of truth there. LOTS

Why would anyone think that a military officer's opinion on this matter would carry any more weight than Joe the Plumber's?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Stevie Wonder, you vacillate like a cheap whores sheet in the breeze. You whine like the shill you are. Yesterday you applauded the Trump Batman ad of his image causing the eclipse where Trump relayed We will MakeAmericaGreatAgain. I asked about you liking that and you didn't reply. Well, Like Q said, The Truth is right in front of you yet you are too blind to see it as with others of the Genius Crew and Dumbassed Dawg Crew. Trump just said in an address a few days ago that he had rebuilt the Military and they were good to go other than for a very few. The fake Bidet trolled the left in his speech as you leftists cheered him on as he said the Military MUST REMEMBER THEIR OATH. Too bad you of the Dumbassed Crew didn't know what he was referring to. Many here know they don't take that oath lightly. Last count I heard was that Trump had replaced over 148 top Military officers. Why do you think the National Guard in DC turned their backs on Biden in his DC trip? Connect the Dots. They know. Clues. It's right in front of your very eyes, just as Q said.

Believing there are enough O-6 and above officers who would abide by their oath is tooth fairy nonsense. Who sets the tone at the service academies? Who sets the tone and policy coming out of the Pentagon? O-6 and above are no different politically than the colleges and universities academics, profs and teachers. It's where the officer class got their education...are they more immune to Marxist immersion learning than ordinary people? If we are depending on the military arm of govt to solve govt created problems...we are so f...ked.

Who do you think got the US DOD LAW OF WAR MANUAL accepted 4 days before Trump accepted the offer and came down the escalator with Melania to announce his run, after, as he's told us many times in rallies, that he had only been to DC 17 times (and repeating it 3 or 4 times) before deciding to run? How many times did he tell you in rallies about the puke TV Generals and what the general on the ground overseas told him about it would only take the real Generals about 2 weeks to take ISIS out? And it was done. How do you think he's still alive after 67 attempts on him?

Connect the dots Stevie Wonder. Don't you remember the little two inch blurbs on page 3 of the major news papers a few years ago about the little military action at the Vatican and at the Saudi Royal Palace?
Who do you think broke down those Gates and entered? What happened to the evil Prince Alwahled?
Who put Trumps bud Prince Bin Salmon in power?
Who Federalised the National Guard. How many took the oath of Federal Marshals?
How many Saudi Billionaires were put in prison. Who released 3000 Alwahled trafficked children?
What ended Kilerys and Piglosis trips as Snow White and Alice to Wonderland?

Sorry, Stevie Wonder, the Military has already been working actively in the US and abroad in one fashion or another since the nation was faced with a national emergency due to an insurrection and the Cabals 16 year plan to destroy America with 8 years of Obama and then Kilerys term where she was going to raise the White Flag after a dirty nuke attack launched by the Clowns and the CCP from sea containers on cargo ships inside our seaports Zero had illegally leased to CCP businessmen.

What is has become though is an embarrassment and a joke. I am not currently proud to be an American if what I see in this country is what being an American is all about. I dont want to fell this way, but who is still proud of this country? I cant be the only one. Stolen elections, weaponized gov agencies, white Christians labeled as terrorists, wide open borders, giving illegals money and housing while we have homeless vets on the streets, endless bullchit wars, pedos running free, ect ect ect. Absolutely disgusted with what this country has become

Gunchamp, I am with you. And I'm amazed at how many people are blind to the destruction of this country. I for the life of me can't understand voting for Biden or Hillary. Now I just watch and wait for the next shoe to drop. Who ever thought girl's/women's sports would have male participation?

OP is a moron and has never served. All flag grade officers are political animals and they will reflect the politics of whichever president put forth their name for flag rank. My bet is every one of these retired officers got flag rank under Slick Willy and OBozo. Gross generalizations tend to be well, gross. Of course "politics" permeates just about all aspects of professional life, military or civilian, but Presidents take no part in initial Flag/General Officer promotions, but yes some, (like Colin Powell for instance) are annointed. As to the last statement, lots of truth there. LOTS Becoming an army general is a combination of well-defined steps and competitiveness at each level1. Here are the steps: Become an Officer: All generals start out their careers at the most junior officer rank1. To become an officer requires a four-year college degree and receiving a commission through one of the officer commissioning sources such as a military academy, ROTC scholarship, or Officer Candidate School1. Annual Evaluations: Every officer receives performance evaluations from their superior officers at least once a year1. The jobs and assignments an officer goes through along with how well those jobs were accomplished as shown on the evaluations determines how far they will be able to move up the rank and career ladder1. Systematic Promotion Ladder: For the ranks of O-1 through O-6, the promotion system runs on a set timetable and what an officer needs to do to reach the next rank is fairly standardized1. Any officer who does a good job for the military should reach the O-5 rank and be able to stay in the service for the 20 years needed to draw a retirement check1. O-7 Selection and Appointment: The O-7 through O-10 level are the four general officer ranks1. Officers who want a promotion to general will be reviewed by a general officer specific promotion board where the competition to get a star is very high and only the most qualified O-6 candidates will be chosen1. The board considers both the officer’s career leadership results and the needs of the service for general officers for specific positions1. From the promotion board recommendations, the President of the U.S. nominates an officer for promotion to the next star, and then the U.S. Senate must confirm the nomination1. https://www.military-ranks.org/army/promotion-to-general#:~:text=At%20the%20recommendation%20of%20the%20Secretary%20of%20the,approved%20or%20disapproved%20by%20the%20United%20States%20Senate. A General is a General Officer in the United States Army at DoD paygrade O-10. This page describes how the Army determines who is eligible for the promotion list to General. As with Lieutenant Generals, the rank of full General is tied to the positions in which officers holding the rank serve, making it ostensibly a temporary position but in most cases a terminal one. At the recommendation of the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of Defense, the Commander-in-Chief nominates general officers, who meet the requirements of performance and time in service, for appointment to the rank of General. Such nominations are then approved or disapproved by the United States Senate. Those approved see the candidate officers receive the rank and title of General upon confirmation, in which position they serve until they leave the position that required the rank or retire from service in the US Army.

You left out the most important aspect of reaching flag ranks- grooming. Mavericks do not reach the highest levels any more. The golden children are guided through their careers by mentors and placed in positions where they can advance. Ring knocker, aide de camp, and Pentagon are all good steps for making rank.

Nothing new here, organizations ALL "groom" the good ones as to the other...two Pentagon tours, one Bureau, held loops twice....
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Patriots are in control 😂🤣😂🤣😂 …and they are intentionally “helping the Democrats destroy America and Americans” in order to show Americans how bad it is. Jag
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

George Soros and his followers have weaponized all three branches of government, the media, sports, Hollywood, LE and the military. Epstein played a crucial role in this weaponization until he was no longer useful.

Jag When FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith lied before the FISA Court and was given his life back that should been a Wake Up Call to All the Sheep .. That being “ They “ own your Legal System When General Milley Conspired with the Chinese against the Chain of Command that should have Woken the Sheep . When the Commander and Chief didn’t fire General Milley and have him put in Chains that should have told you that something or somebody Owns Your Country.. This ain’t going to be Settled at the Ballot Box

The purge in the military was apparent during my time, Carter administration. It was sad what was happening , today it is appalling how deep it has permeated! My hat is off to those still surviving the suck! I pray Trump prevails this next go around, all others can suck my Dick Tracy!
