He's not my enemy and I was simply giving him a ladder to climb down off his high horse.

Then Gleeful Gator tried to defend his remarks but eventually pulled a Chuck Schumer and tried to reframe them as a joke. The_Dude, like many others are Johnny Come Latelys {sic} who would do better easing into situations that they have no knowledge of.  

 

 

The definition of a Johnny-come-lately is a newcomer, or is someone who is late to accepting a position or late to arriving at an event. A newcomer to an idea who is late in accepting what everyone else already believes to be true is an example of a Johnny-come-lately.

we can still assist him and let him know the backstory on some of this it allow him to do his own research, and when he shows that he is not willing to do so that is when we can cast that judgment or aspersion

 

But I will give him the benefit of the doubt because he knows a rich guy.

I can tell you all, that if we're to judge people by their grammar, enlisted Marines, and Soldiers, are IDIOTS. 90% anyways.

My goodness. A friend of mine posted a note I left on his bunk mocking him during my time in Iraq. I was implying he was gay. He took a red pen to it. It was bad. I did not know my 'there's,' or or 'too's'. It was bad. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. My grammar sucked. Did it make me stupid? No. It made me uneducated. I know many, smart, and uneducated people. They're a thing.

I foughtr for the Vietcong in WW2 at the Battle of Pearl Harbor in a German fighter plane and I can assure you US Marines are idiots

I think retired generals should conduct themselves like former POTUS try to do:  You can speak your opinions in private, but never to the press, in a speech, etc.  

 

I just think it makes them look small when they do it.  I hate the cottage industry of retired generals and former special forces/special operations parading around on television opining about everything. I know it's some easy money but It was cooler back in the day where you'd drag one one of these guys out of retirement to discuss tank strategy or the like.

at least put a subtitle on the screen showing what admin they worked for, so the facade of them being objective is diminished

Lay off the bacon! How long does it take to become a senior officer? One would think (know) that they worked for several different administrations. There are no (present day) 19 year old generals.

this dude was clearly an Obama admin thing

 

he's adopted the feel-sorry-for-me posture of the enlightened left

 

and must feel really dirty for working for HIllary to defeat Trump

 

 

everyone is a superstar now for 3 hours on CNN, just wind them up and let them talk trash

What you think is why we have a first amendment. Everyone like you thinks someone else should not speak out.
