Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly warned Trump that Iran would likely disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. attack, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

Trump, 79, told his administration that he thought Iran would capitulate to the U.S. before it closed the Strait, adding that even if the Strait was threatened, the U.S. military could handle it.

    I’m hoping that the military leadership is starting to realize that they WILL have to forcefully remove Trump, if anything to protect the safety and security of the country. Also the PRIMARY purpose of the US Armed forces is:

    1. To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

    Not one fucking word about protecting pedos or presidents.

      Remember, within the first month of this term, he fired all the 5-star generals and other military leadership who would have had the wherewithal to pull this off.

        You say “fired all the five star generals”, I say “created new leadership opportunities for disgruntled veterans”.

        America is going to end up with two armies, one full of soldiers and one full of sycophants and idiots. Boy, this doesn’t sound familiar or anything, does it?

    Hitler, forcing his experienced Generals to follow his own incompetent strategies.

          Trump’s Humiliating War Miscalculation Exposed

          and Trump not going to Vietnam is a good thing: if only more Americans got out of going.

            I stood up in front of a draft board in my ultra-conservative home town and told them why I was a conscientious objector. They asked me some tough questions, I answered them as best I could, and they gave me CO status.

            No lying was needed. Trump didn’t have the guts to stand up and say he opposed the war. He didn’t have the guts to leave the country. He just didn’t want to go fight himself, because he was (and is) a fucking coward.

            But it ain’t me. I ain’t no millionaire’s son. And if that draft board had decided the other way, I’d probably have ended up raising alpacas in British Columbia like some of my friends did.
