American Values

Pentagon Petulance

They’re burning the midnight oil in the Pentagon. Are they developing plans to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat or Tehran’s assassination plots against Donald Trump? No.

Are they looking for ways to capture terrorists pouring across the border? Nope.

 

According to various reports, there is a cadre of paranoid officers in the Pentagon who are more concerned about unfounded fears that Donald Trump will use the military as a private army to get his political enemies than they are of the real enemies of the United States.

 

Really? I hope someone is taking names at these meetings.

 

You may recall that when Trump was first in the White House, he wanted to use the military to help secure the border. The initial response from top Pentagon leaders was, “We don’t get involved in domestic issues.”

 

The president is the commander-in-chief. The protection of America’s borders is the top priority of the American military, unless there was a coup at some point and none of us were told.

 

Defending the borders and the people of the United States of America is the primary goal of the U.S. military. If it can’t do that, something is seriously wrong.

 

By the way, this petulance and resistance is just more proof that the left has absolutely no intention of “coming together” and “uniting.”
