Mattis had a $10 billion dollar contract with Amazon which he approved, cancelled, so he's all pissed over that.
The retired Generals are all perfumed princes under Obama.
And the SecDef and Chair of the Joint Chiefs can get fired.
As can anyone under the President.
Even, you know, Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
BTW, go read up on something called "The Bonus Marchers" from history.
US troops fired openly on US citizens.
Not just any old citizens. World War veterans, fired on by current troops.
And we got through that.
The president supports the protests. He just doesn’t support the looting and destruction of property. You can be for protesting and be against them when they turn harmful.
Here's my issue. There's a difference between acknowledging people have a RIGHT to peacefully protest, and SUPPORTING them protesting. I don't really even understand what I'm supposed to support. I agree the cops at best failed to render aid to the dead guy, and there should be investigation and consequences for that. I already agreed with that, I didn't need riots to make that my position.
Before the protestors became rioters, arsonists, and looters, I supported their RIGHT to protest, but never, at any time, SUPPORTED the protests themselves. The protests themselves, even before they turned violent, prevented the US from getting back to normal after the Wu flu panic.
Thankfully the constitution does not require a protest to be about something that everyone supports. People have the freedom to organize and protest regardless of reason or rational. It just requires them be peaceful.
I agree with that. What I don't get is all these public figures saying they SUPPORT the protesting. Do they really? Are they just super tickled that cities are being shut down, that curfews and National Guardsmen are required?
My point was, they should differentiate between supporting their right to do something, vs. actually doing it for days on end, ad nauseum, with no end in sight.
If you feel the need to take to the streets to protest, I support your right to do so peacefully. I support the right, not the protest. Sorry if my intent wasn't clear.
I think some of the public figures can support a cause without supporting some of the violent means a few bad seeds express, and those who take advantage of the emotion to sow anarchy. I mean, I think you can support equality for all, while loving your country, supporting the police and having empathy for minorities or those living in poverty who feel dejected by the system.
Current demonstrations may or may not be misguided, but I can appreciate the heart of the matter enough to evaluate my own personal actions for the betterment of my neighbor. I can appreciate it up to the point where it affects others through violence.
Either way, taking a hard line with those who may or may not just show their support for the movement divides too. It doesn’t need to be us vs them.
Everyone here supports peaceful protests and the exercising of 1st Amendment rights. Also I assume everyone here also supports the rule of law. That being said, once you stay out past curfew or start rioting and looting, you're not protesting any more, you're breaking the law. At that point it is the job of the local LEOs to quell the unrest. If local LEO cannot do it or are disbanded or if a state asks for help, then you can use the military. There were a thousand people trying to burn down the White House and the DC mayor told the cops to stand down and told Trump he was on his own. I want our nation's capitol defended and our landmarks kept in tact and unvandalized.
Most forget, but Obama fired something like 200+ generals and replaced them with who you're speaking out today.
The Obama admin did a wholesale installation of communist cause sympathizers (on top of ones that were already there) US federal govt wide over his 8 years, seriously.
This has been happening long before Obama, just like the rest of the govt that has been corrupted. Check out the book About Face for the beginnings of this rot in the military.
Jesus Christ relax man, many of these “defection” articles are fake news and you’re not hearing the question being asked. “Would you order your men to shoot American “pRoTEsTErs?” WhatTF is the General suppose to answer?
I follow Dakota Meyers and Marcus Luttrell on insta, they fucking posted the balckout Tuesday bullshit post, but there’s no doubt they’ll still vote Trump.
Social media articles, Instagram and Twitter do not represent the Republican vote. Everyone on Instagram has a SJW gun pointed to their heads at all time. Many keep their real thoughts silent and off their platform to avoid being canceled

Don't forget Tharanos. He sat on the board of a huge scam.

WTF are you even talking about?
1st amendment? Sheesh

The Second Civil War WILL start before November at this rate. Remember.
The tree of liberty will be fed by the blood of commies and patriots alike.
Remember we assumed we'd have the military on our side. All aspects of government appears to be full on corruption.

Fire Esper immediately
waaaaaaaaaay back during the rodney-king-inspired LA riots... when the military showed up, they were direct to protect the wealthy neighborhoods.
and that, kids, is how you know about the rooftop koreans -meme
Trump needs to fire anybody, especially anybody in the military, who publicly supports widespread looting and violent riots.
Relax - people have to show their true colours before you bring down the hammer!
lol
