Quote:Trump Says U.S.‘Losing’ Afghan War in Tense Meeting With Generals

Quote:WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has become increasingly frustrated with his advisers tasked with crafting a new U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and recently suggested firing the war's top military commander during a tense meeting at the White House, according to senior administration officials.
During the July 19 meeting, Trump repeatedly suggested that Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford replace Gen. John Nicholson, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, because he is not winning the war, the officials said. Trump has not met Nicholson, and the Pentagon has been considering extending his time in Afghanistan.
Over nearly two hours in the situation room, according to the officials, Trump complained about NATO allies, inquired about the United States getting a piece of Afghan’s mineral wealth and repeatedly said the top U.S. general there should be fired. He also startled the room with a story that seemed to compare their advice to that of a paid consultant who cost a tony New York restaurateur profits by offering bad advice.

Wow, this is another patently retarded action.

Seriously, I don't get how that isn't a red flag for Republicans. Aren't they supposed to be "respectful" of the military?

Cue "But the Democrats..." - fuck off, the Dems aren't making decisions, the Trump is.

So, in military terms he's Half Stalin/Half Hitler.

The military by and large is currently an reliably enslaved constituency of the republicans, like the original Mamelukes of Egypt.   The masters could hardly perceive any real need to respect such slaves.  Any respect they care to show would be purely ceremonial, intended to be seen by others, not to be felt by its nominal recipients.  Eventually the military caste of this country could supplant the pashas and eunuchs of the right wing, just like the Mamelukes would eventually become the de facto rulers of Egypt while continuing to profess to be slaves to a now powerless sultan.  But the fruition of that development may yet be decades if not a century or two in the future for the US.

Here's why we're fucked in Afghanistan.  Well, not us, but the poor s-o-b's who are stuck there "training" the fucking Afghans.

Quote:National security adviser attempts to reconcile Trump’s competing impulses on Afghanistan

Quote:Trump had little time for in-depth briefings on the Afghanistan’s history, its complicated politics or its seemingly endless civil war. Even a single page of bullet points on the country seemed to tax the president’s attention span on the subject, said senior White House officials.

“I call the president the two-minute man,” said one Trump confidant. “The president has patience for a half-page.”

What a fucking dick.

Well the Half Stalin part is that he's gonna sack anybody who doesn't share what he thinks is ideological purity, and the Half Hitler part is the bit where he thinks he knows better than everybody else while knowing sweet Fanny Adams.

If Lincoln hadn't canned McClellan we'll still be fighting the Civil War.
