How Deeply Entrenched

America once had war-winning generals like Pershing, Patton, and Eisenhower. Somewhere along the line, the United States was saddled with political generals, much more interested in career advancement than defeating our enemies. These are generals like Mattis, Kelly, and whoever the nincompoop is who walked with Trump to the church across from the White House and then chastised the President for bringing him along. These military men could not defeat atavistic butchers in Afghanistan but have no problem calling out their Commander in Chief. The military had plenty of war fighters prior to the Tailhook scandal but started weeding them out after that. You could not have unabashed Alphas leading us to any victory. Add Blackhawk Down where Bill Clinton and Les Aspin did not want to deploy heavy weapons so as not to appear too threatening to Somalis, and left our forces under protected. Toss on the fact that Bill Clinton had legal justification and could have killed Osama bin Laden and spared America September 11 but held fire, and never forget Americans left to die in Benghazi by Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton with real combat soldiers champing at the bit to go protect their fellow Americans but being denied the opportunity to do so. We have senior military commanders who are fully politicized enemies of President Trump and few capable of defeating a foreign adversary in the highest ranks. American soldiers have been held back from victory and had their morale sapped since winning World War II and while the lower ranks are as fierce as ever, the officer class right up through the admirals and generals constrains the forces instead of leading them to victory. It seems the only entity that many flag officers are determined to bring down is Donald Trump.
