I Resigned From The Military Because Of Trump

[Dr. Phosphorous]

they just indicted comey, what are you talking about?

On bullshit charges, simp. You haven't seen the evidence used against Comey. Neither have I.

You are simply an idiot.

In a Washington Post Op-Ed today, Col Doug Krugman explains why he recently retired from the Marine Corps after 24 years.

Pardoning of the Jan 6 defendants had a lot to do with it. --

On Sept. 30, at an unprecedented gathering of senior military leadership, President Donald Trump said, “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room — of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.” I wasn’t invited to be in the room that day, and I had decided months earlier that I had to leave. By coincidence, Sept. 30 was my last day as a colonel in the United States Marine Corps. I gave up my career out of concern for our country’s future.

United States military officers take an oath to defend the Constitution without mental reservation or purpose of evasion. I swore or repeated that oath under five presidents, starting with former president Bill Clinton. I risked my life for it, serving as an infantry officer in two wars. I watched Marines die for it.

No commander in chief is perfect. President Clinton’s moral failures are well known. President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq might be one of the worst errors in U.S. history. All recent presidents share responsibility for our failure in Afghanistan. I continued to serve despite all that because I believed the Constitution brought the country more success than failure, and I believed our presidents took their oaths to it seriously.

With President Trump, I no longer believe that. During his first term, his actions became increasingly difficult for me to justify, culminating with the Jan. 6 attack on Congress as it tried to execute its duties. I hoped he had learned from those errors, but it only took a few days of his second term for me to realize he had not. I could not swear without reservation to follow a commander in chief who seemed so willing to disregard the Constitution.

My departure was not about policy disagreements, which exist in every administration. President Trump won in 2024 and has the right to implement his policies within the law.

My first reservations were about promises and actions that I thought were morally wrong even if they were possibly legal. The Constitution gives the president the power to pardon, but pardoning roughly 1,600 of those who tried to violently overthrow the results of an election didn’t help defend the Constitution. Likewise, I didn’t see it as moral to deny refuge to Afghans who risked their lives to support us, which he did on Jan. 22. Ignoring reality to take advantage of vague laws to assume emergency powers is also immoral. For those who believe in honoring their word, breaking promises our country has made — including some trade agreements President Trump made himself — is not moral. These are not the kinds of actions that I’m willing to risk my life to defend.

Worse than immorality, however, has been President Trump’s willingness to disregard the law and Constitution to achieve his goals. When asked in May about the Fifth Amendment requirements for due process and if he needed to uphold the Constitution as president, the first words out of his mouth were “I don’t know.”

This month, National Guard officers received orders from the defense secretary that their governors opposed. A federal judge intervened, citing the lack of apparent emergency and the 10th Amendment. Those commanders and units were stuck between competing orders with no clear answer. When the president’s orders push or cross legal limits and put commanders in these situations, cohesion within our military is at risk.

President Trump’s description of Portland as a “war zone” is as fantastical as his belief that the June protests in a few blocks of Los Angeles would somehow “obliterate” the massive city of nearly 4 million. In both cases, his words had little connection to reality. Every dubious basis he gives for an order creates more room for doubt, more room for reservations and more threats to our unity.

Amazing self own there, Simp.

 

[Hafar1014]

There is no "ANTIFA", fucktard.

The BLM protesters didn't try to steal an election....they were protesting something REAL -- police brutality.

You MAGA cry baby pussies protested something FAKE on Jan 6 -- the 2020 "stolen" election. Because you Nazis can't accept losing an election.

******* idiots.

 

[whoisit]

If this is true, then the post-World War 2 generation have condemned their children if still alive and definitely their grandchildren and after.

Not sure I understand your reply.

 

[Unkotare]

Neither did Comey, you imbecile.

Trump and his MAGA Nazis just made shit up about Comey. Damn, you're stupid.

No big deal. Everyone can be replaced over night

In your head, orange taint licker.

 

[Unkotare]

...

Then how do you know they are "bullshit charges"?

 

[Nostra]

In your head, orange taint licker.

My point is made.

Thanks, Chimper.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Then how do you know they are "bullshit charges"?

Because only one person in ******* DOJ was willing to prosecute Comey, you hopeless simp. Because there is no case.

Trump's personal lawyer....an insurance attorney who had to be transferred from the White House to DOJ in order to prosecute this bullshit case. The ***** doesn't even know what she is doing, it's a total joke. Every prosecutor in the country is laughing at these idiots.

This is what I mean.....you are clueless and dirt stupid and just not worth talking to.

 

[EMH]

Because there is no case.

Then he should easily be acquitted...

But here you and yours are shutting down the DOJ via shutting down the government because

YOU ARE AFRAID OF WHAT IS COMING OUT OF FEDERAL GRAND JURIES.

 

[Unkotare]

Because only one person in ******* DOJ was willing to prosecute Comey,...

Now we know you didn't study law at computer repair school.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Then he should easily be acquitted...

And he will be. You should be embarrassed that Trump's lackey even filed charges against Comey.....but you are not smart enough to be embarrassed. That requires self-awareness of your own ignorance, which all MAGA imbeciles lack.

But here you and yours are shutting down the DOJ via shutting down the government because

YOU ARE AFRAID OF WHAT IS COMING OUT OF FEDERAL GRAND JURIES.

Yes....I'm just shaking in my boots, you hopeless MAGA simp.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Now we know you didn't study law at computer repair school.

Dumb ****....look at the charging document. Only one attorney was willing to sign it....Trump's dumb insurance lawyer ***** from the White House.

 

[EMH]

And he will be. You should be embarrassed that Trump's lackey even filed charges against Comey.....but you are not smart enough to be embarrassed. That requires self-awareness of your own ignorance, which all MAGA imbeciles lack.


Yes....I'm just shaking in my boots, you hopeless MAGA simp.

Then re-open the government and let it roll....

but your party isn't going to do that. Your party is intent on shutting down the government until 2028. And that is 100% about what you fear still in Grand Jury...

 

[Unkotare]

.......look at the charging document. .....

Did you take computer repair and law classes together?
