He's always been that way but he was focused on his Jew hatred. He may have had a talking to about crusading.

The military has no respect for Trump for obvious reasons. Let's hope that does not become a problem in some way.

  In any event he most likely was not highly placed in a decision making capacity.  That aside, I remember going by the old Seneca Army Depot and saw fatigue clad personnel doing menial tasks such as they could be seen from the main highway.  They still had perimeter guards who most likely were not highly placed. Guys signed up for a hitch while they try to figure out their next move in life are not typically watching for what is going on base-wide or service-wide.  That's all I am trying to say.

I did that! I cleaned toilets, mopped a ton of floors, too.

Sinking US aircraft carriers will resolve tension in South China Sea, says Chinese admiral

 

The Chinese believe that "Americans have gone soft … [they] no longer have an appetite for sacrifice and at the first sign of genuine trouble they will cut and run," Glosserman said.

 

In his speech, Loui said there were "five cornerstones of the United States" open to exploitation: their military, their money, their talent, their voting system -- and their fear of adversaries, according to the news.com.au report.

Wow, they really don't understand us, do they? The Japanese high command in 1941 thought we would quickly tire of a Pacific war.

Well, we did wimp out and found a way to avoid invading the Japanese homeland.

Germans thought we were soft, as well.

 

Still, the Chinese might not be entirely wrong this time - we've become a zero-risk society where we can't even let children walk outside alone, and there's strong debate even amongst professionals whether or not capital ships can be risked in combat.  The Chinese would be ill-advised to start a war by sinking a carrier (the Japanese mistake wasn't sinking the Pacific Fleet, but starting the war by sinking it).  But they'd most likely end a war by not even sinking one, just badly damaging it.

The Krauts were kinda right. Regular infantry in WWII wasn’t to the level ***** infantry was. 

 

Our Airborne and armored units did quite well though. 

 

China is my main concern. And I share your fears. An army of mixed-gender, and transgenders will accomplish nothing in the field. 

 

Further, Americans are becoming more and more “French” in their views of war. Why? Take a look at the demographics. This ain’t the country that won WWII. Mixed demographics have brought mixed cultures which is eroding our western culture and destroying our warrior spirit. The gayosexualism of the modern era has brought new morales and ethics and they’ve declared any form of manliness to be toxic masculinity. 

 

We actually need a bloody bloody war to set things right in my opinion. But I doubt we win because of liberals.
