It appears fashionable among the liberal former military leaders in our country to speak out against President Trump’s offer to use the armed forces to put down the street violence that the liberal leaders of many cities allowed to continue. Rioters, pillagers, looters, arsonists, murderers had overwhelmed the local law enforcement and were almost freely terrorizing the citizens of vast areas of our country, destroying public and private property, and killing or harming innocent citizens and peace officers — chaos. Alleging that their public denunciations of President Trump are intended for the good, why do these former military leaders appear exclusively in the liberal media outlets, and how will their opinions help quell and not enhance the chaos?
Sufficient ink has been spilled for the “Mad Dog” Mattis mouth-foaming idiocy in the leftist thinkers’ publication the Atlantic. Other former military leaders have also provided their shallow understanding of the president’s offer to quell the violence in places where the liberals would not. Retired general Martin Dempsey, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was interviewed on this topic by NPR and unsurprisingly shared the same houghts as the Mad Dog in his liberal media offering.
Let’s go back in time and remember General Dempsey, nominated as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by then-president Obama. Let’s remember this fierce defender of our country from the Benghazi fiasco. In a Senate hearing, Dempsey was asked by Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), why F-16s at Aviano Air Base in Italy weren’t deployed to Benghazi that night. As recorded at the time, the General’s response was as follows:
This is the middle of the night now, these are not aircraft on strip alert[.] … They’re there as part of our commitment to NATO and Europe. And so, as we looked at the time line, it was pretty clear that it would take up to 20 hours or so to get them there.
