Not really surprising at all.

Obama purged the military leadership of officers that didn't buy into his BS.

That's pretty incredible. IMO Trump will go down in history as the least patriotic president we've ever had.

It'll be like people who were honored to be on Nixon's enemies list.

It's sad because his core supporters USED to revere the military, revere the Constitution, revere law and order. But they sold their souls over one issue. Keeping the white majority.

Default UT chancellor, commander who led bin Laden raid tells Trump: 'Revoke my security clearance, too'

Quote:
In an op-ed for The Washington Post, McRaven praised Brennan as "a man of unparalleled integrity" and maligned the president for what he called Trump's "McCarthy-era tactics" to "suppress the voice of criticism."

"Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs," McRaven wrote. "Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

Trump is not having a good week but that is actually karma at work.. You do indeed reap what you sow.

Why? Many of these men and women have valuable insights into their areas of expertise. They can be called upon when needed. They do this for free.

He will likely go too far and try to lock someone up. So far he has listened to his WH lawyers but if he doesn't like the Mueller report, all bets are off. He is a fascist at heart and he has made that clear.
