Here is a little something for the left half of the political spectrum to shove straight up their ass...

James Mattis, John Kelly, Michael Flynn, and David Petraeus have an interesting bond that is also shared by just about every person on this board.
They share that same bond with most all of the tenured professors at places like UC Berkeley, Sarah Lawrence, Bard, and Oberlin...

They are American citizens.

Let that sink in for one-mother-fucking-second...............


Mattis, Kelly, and Flynn are all American citizens. For anyone that thinks a prior service American citizen has no right to participate in the administration of governance and justice in this fine nation, well...
...fuck you
...fuck you very much

Even David Petraeus who clearly has no fan-club members of this board would serve this nation better than some of the empty suits from academia that we are supposed to believe should somehow have primacy when being considered for a place in government.

Think about this...
...who was the president that WARNED Americans about letting the military-industrial complex take root?

It was a retired general.


And when you retire from the military you become a civilian.
...I know the word "civilian" stings when it is applied to a former military man - but you are no longer an active duty soldier. You are a civilian.
So when Mr Trump, Mr Mattis, Mr Flynn, Mr Kelly, and all the rest take the helm on inauguration day, the military will STILL be under the control of civilian leadership.


Only this time, it will be controlled by people that actually have experience providing security. It wont be by appointees that are applying theoretical leadership the same way that Sheldon Cooper applies theoretical physics.

That's the beauty of the system...
the dope smoking hippy tofu eater gets a vote
the retired general gets a vote
the auto worker gets a vote
dead democrats get a vote

The system works fine when the liars known as democrats get to tell their lying lies about the things the like to lie about...
...they wail and screech when they don't get their way.



Once more for the cheap seats....

Mattis, Kelly, and Flynn are all civilians today.
...the will be civilians tomorrow

They are just civilians with an honorary title earned through decades of service to the nation.


Just my two cents... I could be wrong
